Purpose

DIY Kids' Art Board

We usually have piles of masterpieces the kids make at school and at home. Here is a decorative problem-solver.

Items to purchase for this DIY project:
Large corkboard (on sale for about $6.50 at Target)
Wall stickers ($1 per sheet at the Dollar Tree); I used 2 sheets because I needed 2 E's
Spray paint ($5.50 at Wal-Mart)
Painter's tape (if not on hand)

The plastic was trimmed around the egdes to reveal the frame. (The color was too light for the furniture in the room, so I had to spray paint it to match.) Painter's tape held down the edges of the plastic and gave a clean line for the spray paint.

The corkboard frame was painted and dried outside over night. I hung it up the next morning, completing the project!

TIPS: 

* I did learn that if you push the painter's tape down TOO much, the tape can stick -- you will pull up some of the corkboard.  (I covered up the boo boos with artwork.)  :)  This may have also had to do with the quality of the corkboard.  The brand I used with The Board Dudes.
* I also learned you should wear a glove on the hand you are spraying paint with.  I have never spray painted anything before and ended up with a dark brown pointer finger.  :)

DIY Bows and Clips

We have had a problem at our house keeping up with bows and hair clips. They're always stuffed into a drawer as well as a bag (below). This is our norm:

I bought a frame at Big Lots ($6.00) and tore off the backing, removing the picture and glass. Next, I hot glued some ribbon ($2.50 for several colors) across the length of the frame.

The ribbons and frames were chosen to match the bathroom shower curtain.

Next, the ribbons and clips were attached...

Hooray! Organization! We can find our hair things now!
