Cork Gallery Wall
Clipboard Wall
We hung columns of colorful clipboards on the walls using low-profile pins that make nearly invisible holes. Each color clipboard is assigned to a different child. We went ahead and added photos to the top clipboard to personalize the columns a little further. Now, your budding artist can swap out their artwork or classwork anytime they want.

Ribbon Dowel Rod
Drape a simple dowel rod in rainbow-colored ribbon and hot glue matching clothespins to the ends for a quick and easy wall art display. The clothespins allow you to swap out your kids’ favorite pieces without adding any more tape or holes to the walls. The staggered heights of the ribbon make it easy to display art of all different sizes. We attached the dowel to the wall using two leather straps fastened with two low-profile brad nails.

Clipped Art
Upcycled Frames
Hit up your local thrift store and grab an assortment of frames in any size or color. Remove the glass and paint them all a different color. We liked the vibrancy of an assortment of bright colors, but you could also stick with a monotone look. Use adhesive picture frame mounts to attach the frames directly to the wall while they’re still empty. Let your kids stick their art inside the frames using poster tack for an eclectic, gallery look.
