Kellen's Wall Art

One big ongoing project that I have had for the past few years is my son's bedroom. He has his own taste of decorations that is similar to mine. It is quite funny actually. He likes vintage sport, and automobile memorabilia. So basically anything vintage and "boyish".

Kiddo Project: Refrigerator Art Display

One of my ideas for the school work was to share it with some of our family members. I personally don't like a lot of things on my fridge and art from school gets bent on the edges and curl up. So, I wanted a different, more finished solution. After searching a few different stores for the best solution, I decided that 8x10 glassless wooden frames would be the best. You can find these at stores that sell the poster type art with the faux glass on the poster (a.k.a. plastic wrap). First, Kellen and I sorted the artwork from the mess in the previous post.




Then, we made a few piles of 5 or 6 pieces of art for each person that we made these refrigerator displays for. It would be fun to decorate the wooden frames with scrapbook supplies, but we chose not to this time. Next, we glued magnets to the back so the frames could go on the fridge.

While the glue was drying, I cut the artwork into (more or less) the correct size for the frames. The finished project turned out quite nice. These little frames will give the artwork a finishing touch and the recipients can change out the 5 or 6 pieces of art that we will give them with the frame.
