Four More Ways to Display Children’s Artwork
I’m always on the look out for new ideas for displaying and making the most of children’s artwork, and I’ve been hard at work since Christmas sourcing some new products for the Artful Kids store. I’ve added some of these to the store recently, with more to come, but my favourite is this colourful portable Children’s [...]
Chalkboard Gallery
I’ve seen a few home ‘Gallery’ walls for children’s artwork around the internet recently, and have been really keen to do something similar. However all of the ones I’ve seen have been fairly ‘permanent’, and I wanted to do something a little more flexible that I could change very easily – mainly because we’re still [...]
Pin ItBox Lid Frames
I’m always on the looking for new cost-effective ways of displaying children’s artwork, and I recently devised this one.

Because the frames are stapled together using string, it means [...]
Art Photobooks
As the stack of artwork created by my children increases, I’ve been trying to devise ways of keeping and displaying the best, while being a little more ruthless about discarding the rest. I’ve already mentioned the Art Portfolio posters which were one response to this, but another approach I’ve taken is to have some made [...]
Pin ItChildren’s Art Portfolio Posters
I have recently been developing a few new products for Artful Kids which has been keeping me busy, so over the next couple of posts I thought I would introduce some of them. The first is a Children’s Art Portfolio Poster, which allows you to display up to 27 pieces of your child’s artwork, with [...]
Display Ideas No. 4
Artwork Hanging System And finally… For my last post of 2009 I’m sharing a display idea which I found over at the Madhouse. It’s basically an improved version of the old ‘washing-line’ display, but I think looks much neater and smarter, as it uses metal tension wires and clips (the kind you can get for [...]
