Craft... Kind Of.

Now that school has started, the kids are bringing home art work all the time. I HAVE to hang them ... They are so beautiful! I came up with an idea... I got my inspiration from Land Of Nod. They have these cute art clips but they are $12.95 each (that only hold 3 pieces of art) plus shipping.

I got all the supplies at Michael's today for 2 strands for Karoline's room and 2 strands for Anderson's room for $12.00! And it took me about 15 minutes to make them. It's SO easy... Here is what you need...

1) Hot glue gun
2) Wooden clothes pins
3) Cute, already painted, wooden art (At my Michael's they were on sale 3 for $1)
4) Ribbon, string, or twine

Anderson's are space themed to match his upcoming "big boy" room & Karoline's are just all things she loves. They are so cute. Hope you make a some...

As usual, I am stealing your idea. My only question is: How did you decied to attach them to the wall? I tried to zoom in on the picture, but I still couldnt tell what you used???

I just used small nails (like picture nails) and wrapped the ribbon (or whatever you use) and tied it... seemed to work pretty well.
