Step Two

Using the hot glue gun, attach the cloths pins to the picture frames. I tried to get the in the center of the frame.

If you are a true perfectionist, you would measure the frame then find the middle based on that measurement.

Third Step

Once glue dries, paint the frame and the cloths pin. For this project, I went with using Deco Art Americana Acrylics paints. The colors I used:

  • Golden Straw
  • Desert Turquoise
  • Hauser Light Green
  • Royal Fuchsia

I used a sponge brush to get into the details of some of the frames I selected for this project.

Step Four

Once paint dries, use the 3M Command Brand picture hanging mounts to hang on the wall.

I used these on the back corners of the frames. Since the picture hanging mounts are velcro, you can adjust if you don’t get it perfect the first try.

Step Five

Then hang pictures on the cloths pin for kids art display!

I have found that these clips hold about 10 pieces of artwork before things start to fall off. Which is perfect for those budding artists.
