Another Fun Project

I'm still working on my toy-box crates - they are painted but not decorated yet. I only have so much time and energy!

I took a little detour as I saw this cute idea in a catalog and once again I thought, hey, I can do this!


So here it is... Ta Da!





They're clips to hold your child's artwork.
Here's the lowdown - it was SO EASY and inexpensive.
Paint oversized clothes pins then glue on the 59 cent adorable wooden artwork (both from Michael's) - done. Total spent: $6.
I'll hang them on the wall with a string and put some putty behind the clips so they don't slide towards the middle.
I'm becoming Ms. Frugality!

Jane, I saw those same animals and want to put them on a piece of wood to make a coat rack for the baby's room. Great minds think alike. They are beautiful.

They'd look great on the fridge too. Just get some magnet tape for the back.

Very cute!

What an ADORABLE idea!!! I used a turtle like these to make a picture frame to match Owen's bathroom decor. :) Owen's playroom has a colorful circus-like theme so these would be perfect for hanging his artwork in there!
