DIY Kid’s Artwork Display Wall
Are you looking for an easy way to display kid’s artwork and keepsakes?
If so, check out this large gallery wall that I created using 9 of these strip clips found at my local Target store and mounting tape (I prefer the tape as it’s easier than using nails and avoids a bunch of holes in the wall). The clips are actually very lightweight so the tape holds them without any issue. I hung three rows of three strip clip units, but you can hang as many or as little as you’d like.
I found these clips in the One Spot area typically located in the front of Target stores – these wood “Strip Clips” were available in different wood colors and were priced at just $3 each. Each unit has three clips so they are perfect for hanging art and/or photos.
I am having trouble finding anything similar online, so if you find something like these, let me know and I’ll add a link.
DIY Art Display Wall
Supplies Needed:
- $3 Clip Strips (I found them in the Target One Spot)
- Heavy Adhesive Mounting Tape
- Level Tool
- Measuring Tape
- Chalk and/or Pencil
Directions:
- Clean and dry the wall making sure to get rid of dust on the areas the tape will touch.
- Use a good leveling tool, measuring tape, and piece of chalk or a pencil to mark three straight and evenly spaced lines on the wall.
- Place mounting tape on the back of a strip clip and press against the wall using the line you marked as a guide. It’s also good to place the level on top of the strip clip as you press down.
- Repeat the process with the rest of your strip clips, and hang your art.
This was a pretty easy and inexpensive DIY project that has had a big impact on this room! I love to look at the colorful artwork my kids create and now we can easily move pieces around as new ones are made throughout the year.
