I made this adorable art display for my children’s art work. I will show you how I made it. It only cost me $3. I just loved how it turned out.
My uncle bought a new house and found this in it. I was so excited because I had been thinking of how I wanted to do this project. I asked friends if I should paint it but they all like the distressed looked so I kept it with the distressed look. When I turned it over there was already some screws so all I did was wrap the crochet thread around each screw and then tie a few knots and then stretched it to the screw that was across and wrapped and tied a few knots. As you can see I did 3 down and 4 across. Again I just used the screws that were already there.
I found some fabric in my stash that I liked and was big enough. Make sure you press it so you don’t have any wrinkles or creases in the fabric. I got out my glue gun and just glued it onto the back. Make sure if there is a pattern that you glue it on straight. Mine is not straight and it bugs me. And also make sure that the fabric is pulled tight so you don’t have any places that sag.
This is what the back should look like when you are done glueing the fabric on.
And this is what it should not look like when you are done.
This is what it looks like hung up and with some beautiful artwork on it. I just used tiny clothes pins from Hobby Lobby to connect the paper to the string. My kids are so excited to show their artwork. I absolutely loved how it turned out. I hope you like how yours turned out.
