In a feeble attempt to start organizing my home, I started sifting through Little C’s bins of artwork we have stuffed in various places throughout our garage house. I adore every little bit of art she creates, be it a sheep made out of cotton balls or her first ever “people” that looked like potatoes on stilts.
I had no choice but to put many pieces in the recycling bin – one can only keep so much paper! Imagine keeping every piece of art your child makes for their whole lives? You’d have a houseful! I’ve been researching creative ideas on how to store and display children’s art, and there are so many wonderful ideas out there. Here are some of my favourites; I hope you find them inspiring too!
- Clipboard Art Display from Clean & Scentisible
- Children’s Drawings as Art (Rod & Clip Display) from The Style Files
- Mailing Tubes as Art Storage from Martha Stewart
- Kid’s Artwork Scrapbook from Glass Half Full
- Framed Children’s Art in a Bedroom from Velvet & Linen
- Art on a Duvet Cover from A Thousand Words
- Art Collage in a Big Frame from Decor8
- Kid’s Artwork on Upcycled Cabinet Doors from I Heart Organizing
- Artwork and Photo Displays from A Thousand Words
Do you keep your children’s artwork? How do you display or store it?
Thanks for the ideas! I have a whole box of stuff waiting to be displayed by my 4 year old. Love the Art Collage idea!
No problem, Cheryl! I still have some boxes to go through… the art sure collects, eh?
#7 has been one of my favourite art design inspirations for years!
Same! It looks funky, and the kids’ art makes it special too. 🙂
Great ideas! I am looking for fantastic ways to honour their creations 🙂
Thanks, Kerrie!
I do keep it. Some of it is framed, some in a folder. I really like the clipboard idea.
I love that idea too! Thanks so much for stopping by.
