Cheap Kids Artwork Display

If you’re like us you have lots of artwork from your kids around the house but no great way to show it off. Between daycare and home projects our son has built up a kids portfolio of arts & crafts. Before this weekend it was stored away in a big folder but now we can put it up where we can enjoy it.

We had an empty wall that we wanted to use to show off his creations but hadn’t come up with a good way to display it. My wife saw an idea she liked online, so she went to Target last weekend and bought two plain, black curtain rods.

As you can see from the picture the hoops make it easy to put up and take down his artwork and the price was right!
