Made by Me Kids Art Wall


My kids love to do "projects." Daily they are asking me, "can we do a project?" So we drag out the papers, glue, scissors, beads, whatever we can think of and make something together. My five year old, Mallory, also loves to draw. I adore her drawings. Consequently, we accumulate a lot of art work that usually ends up lying around on the countertops and tables.


We also had a wall at the top of our landing between the kids bedrooms that could use some love.



I made it our art wall. I spray painted a bunch of frames I purchased second-hand and filled them with cork board that I purchased by the roll at Joann's.

I did hand prints on fabric with my kids too and embroidered their names underneath using hoops to display them. I also made an appliqued "made by me" sign.   


Our house is loved and well decorated by my little ones. I'm glad they love to craft as much as I do.

    What a creative and cute way to display art! I also use thrift store frames a lot... it saves so much money and it's fun to paint them :)
