We have a big blank wall in the living room that we want to do something with to display DD's art projects. ?Thinking about string/fishing line and small paperclips or clothespins or something to hang the artwork. ?Any other suggestions/ideas? ?
Frame them with a matting around them or scan them and copy them.

May 7, 2011-First 5k run (a horrendous 13:30 pace, but I finished!) June 4, 2011-2nd 5k run with an 11:15 pace Haven't signed up for the next one yet!
Our DS is too small to be making any artwork yet, but when he does, I plan on having a few framed and matted pieces out which I will just switch up, then I want to scan and put in a hardcover photobook (like My Publisher) to preserve them.
i only save a few things b/c at this point it's not much of his "artwork" as his handprints and fingerpainting... I scan the ones i want to keep and hang some on the fridge for a while - then throw away.... that way i still have the memory scanned- but not a ton of paper piled up that i'll never look through again.
i know some parents of older kids who buy cheap frames and frame their favorite artwork- and rotate it through the frames as new ones come in. I will probably do that when he is older.
Re: Do you display your DC's artwork?
we just recently bought a system from Ikea, it's actually a towel bar with these hooks on it and we also bought a magnet board and a cork board.
we keep it in the playroom, hope this pic works....
