Displaying Kids Artwork using Yardsticks

It’s that time of year again,  Back to school!

My oldest son, Liam just started 1st Grade and my youngest, Jax will be starting pre-school next week.

Let the School work come flooding in!

 So as you may remember, last year I re purposed this old bulletin board to display all of Liam’s artwork.  You can see that post HERE.  But with this new school year, we needed a fresh start.

 So I took it all down…

I wrote Liam’s name and the year on the back of all of my very favorites.

 And then placed them in a large sack.  This sack hangs from a hanger in the closet.

  Then because I just can’t keep all of it,  I took pictures of some of them too,  that way I have a picture to remember it by instead of the artwork.

Then not too long ago,  I drove by a house that had a pile of junk outside with a  big sign that said,  free, and of coarse I had to stop the car and take a look, all the while Liam, from the back seat was so annoyed. He’s only in the first grade and already I embarrass him.

But look at all the treasures I found;  an old camera, a jewelry box and a couple of old yard sticks.

  I decided to hang the yardsticks up in my hallway, replacing the bulletin board.

 Then using thumb tacks, I am able to hang all of the kid’s artwork onto it.

 I’m looking forward to filling it up.

So how do you all display your children’s artwork?
