Cabinet Creations
Jennifer Jones, the creative mom behind iheartorganizing, wanted a gallery display in her basement that would offer an easy way to change out the kids' creations. "Picture frames look so lovely and clean," she says, "but I didn't see myself being quick to switch out projects that way." Instead Jones purchased three maple cabinet doors for $5 a piece, spray-painted them white, then rolled the center of each door with Glidden's Blue Lagoon. She drilled a hole in the top of each cabinet, screwed a magnetic clip on to each, then attached a metal label holder to the bottom of each door.
Mini Masterpieces
Space is at a premium in decorator Susie Harris's home, whose blog bears the same name. So to highlight her daughter's artistic abilities, she buys small canvas-and-easel sets ($5.99, 2.5" x 2.75"; amazon.com) and lets her 12-year-old have carte-blanche creativity. "She likes to hide them around the house to be discovered," Harris says. "And although small, the uncovered beauties—like this sunflower painting—make a sunny statement wherever she places them."
Sarah Jane Wright of Sarah Jane Studios came up with these Eric Carle-inspired animals created from her little artists' finger and water-color paintings. She drew basic elephant, seal, and swallow shapes to make templates (download them here). Place the templates on your child's painting, concentrating on the most interesting part of their creations in terms of color or texture, and cut around the template. Glue the cutouts to white paper, place them in inexpensive frames (these are from Ikea) and create a gallery wall.
