If your home is like mine it has school artwork displayed on the refrigerator and various other arts & crafts projects taped up on walls and doors. And it’s a constant mess because it’s falling on the floor or leaving sticky residue behind. Those of us with little artists know this problem all too well. Today I’m sharing a quick solution that you can create to help contain and showcase these special items.

For this project I used my die cutting machine (Silhouette Cameo) to cut out a piece of word art to decorate the wall at the end of my hall which will now be used as our art display area. I used a sentiment from iArt Word Stamps by Karla Dudley.

 

I started by opening the word art in my cutting machine software. I traced the item to get the cut lines and then loaded the machine up with my adhesive backed vinyl.

 

After it cut out I was ready to apply it to the wall. It turned out great and was very quick taking just about 10 minutes!

 

Next I needed a way to hold the art work, so I got some 3M Command Damage-Free Hanging strips. I applied those to some jumbo sized clothespins I picked up at the Target Dollar Spot and adhered them to the wall.

Now my kids have a fun way to display their projects and I don’t have to be constantly picking tape off my walls!
