I bet the huge boards make the kids feel terrific, seeing their art displayed so nicely!
My art director friend did smoothing similar to Lisa’s suggestion, she grabbed the camera and snapped a photo of her child holding the macaroni, or leaf art! Then those fragile pieces are remembered, along with a moment in time.

So glad you liked them! Your local lumber store will have big bulletin boards. The ones at mine were 5′ X 8′, so I had to cut them down a bit. The molding we attached hid the rough edges of the cuts.

awesome! I am going to do this in my kids playroom. Did you just buy a roll of cork or alter a large bulletin board that already existed?

I LOVE Lisa’s idea for the photo book of art! What a perfect way to preserve all of our children’s “masterpieces”!

I liked this idea so much that I did the same thing for my son’s playroom. Another great idea that could be a great rainy day project is to take a digital photo of all the “special” art projects and then add them to a photo book which you can create easily using My Publisher or iPhoto. That way they don’t take up so much space and you have them forever in a neat place. It’s also a great gift for grandparents as well!!
