Art lives here.

November 18th, 2008

Remember the other day when I showed these letters I was working on?  Well, I got them all blinged up and finished and hung them on Summer’s art room wall.  And it only took a year and 9 months!  Woo hoo!

Forgive my absolutely crappy photos.  My camera is about to throw in the towel.

That’s Summer’s artwork you see hanging in front of the windows.  I strung up a thick piece of twine/rope like material and I clip her items on with mini clothespins.  I change them out every so often when she gets a bunch of new stuff.  That was an idea I got from Family Fun magazine, and I LOVE it.

    Great idea and great looking letters! I might have to try something like this for our little girl’s room.

    Thanks for sharing!

    Your letters are so colorful and fun! I really like them. We have my all of our kids’ names on their walls, but none of them are as fun as your letters. Great job!

    We do the clothesline art hanger, too.

    I love the letters you created. I love the message, and I love the way they look. You did a wonderful job!

    Very cute. I’ve seen those letters before, but didn’t know what you were supposed to do with them after scrapbooking them. Hanging them on the wall is a great idea.

    Very cool. Wish I had strung up a line when my kids were small instead of putting everything on the fridge. The letters are awesome, thanks!

    Oh that is awesome. Every kids thinks every piece of art should be hung. How perfect to have a spot for all of that. I will definitely do that. I love the quite “Art lives here” What a way to encourage creativeness.
