crafting a way to organize kids' art

We have been working on a lot of craft projects (i.e. painting, coloring, collages) here at home and I never know what to do with them all. I can only handle so many pictures stuck to the refrigerator and I feel (somewhat) guilty throwing away all their hard work.

My sister has cute clothes lines in her kids rooms to display their art work, but when I asked her where she got the cute clothes pins she named a store that is several hours away (not to mention the fact that she bought them several years ago). My friend, Erin, is very crafty and she showed me a project she was working on from here.

I combined the two ideas and came up with:



Items needed:
clothes pins
scrapbooking paper
mod podge
brush
exacto knife
craft string
nails/push pins

Directions:
1. cut scrapbooking paper to down so it is close in size
2. brush mod podge onto clothes pin
3. press paper onto clothes pin
4. brush paper with mod podge
5. allow to dry
6. cut off excess with exacto knife (upside down on cutable surface)
7. hang craft string on wall (nails or push pins)
8. clip up priceless works of art created by priceless kiddos! :)

** Please note: I did not receive payment for mentioning mod podge, exacto or ashleyannphotography for this post or the use of their products and ideas.
