How to display your child's artwork

           No comments   

 




Recently, my four year old became a Picasso in the making. As a mother, I am proud and elated to see my little girl become a little artist but not too fond of all the artwork being displayed on the walls "with a scotch tape". I am sure that many of you are faced with the same problem; the kids' papers pile up and we are left with a mountain of paper that we don't know what to do with.

Thankfully, I was able to compile some few ways that can help showcase the child's work without crowding the walls in the house or burying the fridge door in a pile of paper.

Frames: Select one or few of your child's art, glue them to a colorful construction paper or wrapping paper and frame them.
You can also use floating frames and alternate the art displayed.



Photo Credit

Binder: Punch holes or use page protectors to store and display their work in a loose leaf binder.



Photobook: Take pictures of their work or scan them then upload them online through Walgreens or Snapfish to make a photobook with descriptions and/or dates of their work. You can also create a collage or a scrapbook or a poster with the pictures.



Photo Credit

Make a placemat: Use contact paper or laminate paper to seal the artwork.



Photo credit

Mobile: A friend of mine had this genius idea of making a mobile with her daughter's artwork so I searched and found this tutorial online that could very well work with your child's art.

Clothesline or Curtain Rods: Use two screwing hooks to attach a clothesline then clip their projects with clothes pins that you can paint and decorate or use a curtain rod with hanging clips to showcase their work.

I like these curtain rods from Ikea. I am waiting to go there soon to grab few of these. Can't wait :).

Frame Holder: Use a frame holder to display it above the fireplace or elsewhere.



Magnetic Wall Paint: Paint your walls using a magnetic wall paint and have them tack up their work with magnets.

Do you have any other ideas for displaying children's artwork?

Kitchen Tip: Homemade Garbage Disposal Cleaner + Microwave Cleaning Tip

           No comments   


You do not need expensive garbage disposal cleaners to run your garbage disposal efficiently and get rid of the smell. All you have to do is mix 1/2 cup of baking soda followed by 1/2 cup of white vinegar.


The mixture will look fizzy. Wait for 5-10 then pour some boiling or hot water.

To clean and sharpen the blades, freeze some vinegar in an ice cube tray then toss the ice-vinegar cubes down the garbage disposal and grind.

If there is a funny smell coming out of the drain, slice a lemon or use a lemon wedge after you are done using it, toss it in the garbage disposal then turn on as usual to grind. It takes few days to get rid of the lemon rind so your garbage disposal should stay smelling fresh for at least a week.

Microwave Cleaning tip: Use a juice of a lemon to clean the microwave by adding 1-2 cups of water in a microwave safe bowl with the lemon juice. Microwave until the water starts boiling then let it sit for few minutes. Wipe down the interior of the microwave with a paper towel or a damp Cloth. Once you're done, toss what's left  of the lemon skin, rind, and pulp down the garbage disposal. Turn on the disposal and enjoy a clean microwave AND a garbage disposal.
