My kids recently asked if we could hang up their latest paintings, so we headed to our favorite place to find inspiration: the craft room!
We paired their fun and colorful new art with some simple supplies to create these cheery DIY display walls, and our kids LOVE them!
1. On Clipboards

Talk about an easy peasy idea! Set up a wall with a few clipboards.
It’s the perfect spot to show off their latest school awards or paintings, and swapping them out is SO simple.

Here’s a fantastic way to handle a whole year’s worth of drawings. Gather them all up and create a cool theme board, especially if they are into drawing one specific thing.
I love how this one uses foam board to make the individual pieces pop with a bit of depth.
3. Up the Stairwell

Got a plain white wall? It’s the perfect canvas for a stunning kid’s art gallery. This stairwell idea is just brilliant!
Using simple white frames of all different sizes keeps the whole look so fresh and bright.
4. On a Clothesline

This is a classic for a reason! A clothesline gallery is such a great and simple way to use string and pegs.
I love that you can switch out the art with zero fuss. It’s a surefire way to bring some fun to a plain wall.
5. In Coloured Frames with Pegs

How cute is this? This collection of yellow frames is a total showstopper in this little girl’s room.
And those wooden pegs? They make it super versatile, so you can pop in new masterpieces whenever the mood strikes.

This gorgeous mosaic is a total masterpiece! And you won’t believe how simple it is to get this look.
Just cut different shapes from all those preschool paintings and use mod podge to stick them onto a canvas. So creative!
8. In Their Room

I just love this. You don’t need a huge budget for amazing room decor. By picking out a few paintings with matching colors, you can create a beautiful bedroom gallery.
This is such a sweet and personal touch.
9. On Coat Hangers

Grab some paint and get creative with personalizing a coat hanger! You can add your child’s name, or give each kid their own.
I think it’s a super cute idea to use one hanger for the ‘art of the week’ in a special spot in the house.
10. Making New Artwork for Girls

Let’s be real, sometimes you can’t save every single drawing. So what’s a parent to do? Turn them into a single, awesome piece of art!
You can cut out your favorite parts or collage them together. It becomes such a precious memory maker for your little girl.
11. In their Craft Area

Honestly, you can hang their framed art anywhere you want! I think it looks absolutely perfect in a craft area.
It’s a great way to showcase the results of their creativity and totally inspires them to make even more!
