![]() ![]() (I forgot to take a picture of of the larger frames, but basically I hot glued a popsicle stick to the back of the frame, then clued the clothespin to the popsicle stick.) Project 3: DiY Framed Chalkboard Step 2: Use hot glue to attach clothespins to frames. However, for the 2 largest frames, I spray painted the clothespins the same color as the wall and used popsicle sticks to extend them down so that the pictures would be centered.) (For the smaller frames, I spray painted the clothespins the same color as the frames, since they were glued directly to the frame. Step 1: Spray paint frames and clothespins. I used a few frames I already had laying around the house, and then a few more that I picked up at Michael’s (for 60% off of course!) I painted my frames all different colors because I wanted a rainbow effect against the white walls, but you could just as easily do them in all one color, or even all in white, for a more muted, classic look. Step 3: Continue melting until you (or your kids) are satisfied with the effect–you can make it a little melty or really melty, it is totally up to you (or them!) Step 2: Prop the canvas at an angle, then use a blowdryer on high heat to slowly melt the crayons. Step 1: After separating the crayons by color (we used a box of 96, which was about perfect for the 16×20″ canvas that we used), line them up in color order at the top of the canvas, then hot glue them in place. It was such a fun and easy project and the girls had so much fun with it–it was just so cool to watch the crayons melt! I first saw this melted crayon art project over on Whatever (love that blog!) months ago and immediately pinned it as one of those things I had to do with my kids someday. DIY Kids Artwork Display Project 1: Melted Crayon Art The end result turned out even better than I had hoped & it was SO easy! Definitely a get-it-done-in-a-day-or-two kinda project. I really wanted a display that was fun, stylish, & would allow me to show off the never-ending supply of artwork that my girls create. One of my favorite elements is the kids artwork gallery wall. The girls love doing art projects in there, and Husband and I have a lot of fun at night playing Wii Fit. So far we have already gotten a lot of use out of our new room. So much so that my oh-so-unexpressive, non-writer, engineer husband actually wrote me a poem to thank me! And it was pretty good! He said I could share it with you so I updated the post–be sure to go back to check it out! I was so nervous that Chuck wouldn’t like it, but as it turned out he absolutely loved it. Need a practical solution for all those masterpieces your kids keep bringing home? This fun DIY kids artwork display adds an easy pop of color to any wall!Ī couple weeks ago I shared our new (surprise) Rainbow Family Room.
