Project

Picture frames for my boy's art! I saw this project in a magazine I think.  I wish I could remember so I could give credit to the creative person that came up with this idea.  I love it!  Here is the cast of characters I used.

I got the most basic frames 12 x 12 frames I could find at my local craft store.  If you are really handy I am sure you could buy trim and put together your own frames.  I also purchased 12 x 12 cork board.   I used kid friendly paint because Noah was helping me.  If I had just been doing it I would have used spray paint or regular wall paint. 

We painted each frame.  Noah chose the colors and had a great time painting them.  He loves painting which is why this was the perfect project to have him help me with.  We did quite a few coats which was probably due to the kind of paint we were using.  After we were done painting we let them dry and then put the cork board in the frame.  Then it was time to hang them on the wall. 

My lighting in this picture isn't the greatest but you get the idea.  We hung them at the top of our stairway.  I think I am going to get a couple more and hang them in his room too.

I added some art work to one of them and the project was complete!  It was a super simple project and a great way to display Noah's art work.  It is also super simple to switch the art work in and out as they are just held in with push pins!

Noah and I a great time doing this project together!  I am so glad I stumbled across it in whatever magazine that was.
