Frame Your Child’s Original Themed Artwork! Frugal and Fun Decorating Idea!

disclosure-for-site

June 2, 2013 Carlee at Fun Learning Life 5 Comments

When we moved into our house back in October 2011, my son’s bathroom had a border with a beach scene and some beach related decor over the toilet.

My son wanted to keep with this theme, and in the meantime, my sister-in-law gave the kids some sea shells.  So, I went out and bought a glass vase from Walmart for $3 and put the sea shells in it, and I asked my son if he would like to paint an original water-color picture of a beach scene to decorate his bathroom as well.

Of course my kids jump at any opportunity to paint, so I gave him a little direction of what I was looking for and he painted original artwork for his bathroom.  In addition, I picked up a distressed looking picture frame from Michaels for $5.00 to place it in.

I already had the supplies on hand, so for $5.00 I now have an original priceless piece of artwork hanging in my son’s bathroom.

I also had him sign it as all artists do, and I put the date and his full name on the back of the picture. Of course he is extremely proud of this accomplishment and I think it is beautiful!

Have you done anything similar to this with your own children? I would love to hear your stories.

    Those are really cute ideas! Particularly like framing the pictures. Right now, I have two big bulletin boards that I peg their artwork, cards and souvenirs from our travels on. Then once every few months, I take them down and scrapbook most of it, then start again.

    We did this with my son's artwork when he was young. He was very talented. Still is.

    I did that with some of my daughter's artwork when she was younger. She finally decided it was "too young looking" and took it down.

    This is such a great idea. I have so much beautiful artwork that my boys have done that I would love to display for everyone to see!
