Father's Day Shoe Box Lid Picture Frame Craft
Posted Monday, May 26, 2014
While I was browsing online recently I came across a neat art project using shoe box lids from Artful-Adventures. That gave me an idea to make a Father's Day picture frame craft out of a shoe box lid. This is a fun and easy craft that dads will really enjoy because it is personal.
What you'll need:
A shoe box lid
paint
another piece of thick paper (card stock for example)
glue
hook or sticky wall tape to attach to the wall
Instructions:
Have your child paint the shoe box lid.
While you are letting the paint dry take your child's hands and make a print of each hand on the stock paper with paint.
After both the shoe box lid and the card stock have dried glue the card stock in the middle of the lid.
You can write a message for dad in the box as well.
Put the hook or other adhesive material on the back and you can display your art where ever you like!

Hang It Up! Displaying Children's Art
Posted Tuesday, September 24, 2013
Contributed by Cindy, of coopercreations
School is in full swing which means lots and lots of creative works coming home each day.
If you are anything like me, you give loads of praise to the construction paper, painted and glued masterpieces and then place them in a pile for a few weeks until they start to cascade onto the floor – you then move them into a sacred file or box never to be seen again.
Now, while giving praise to any and all artwork your child creates is VERY important you can’t look past the importance of placing those “most favorite” works of art on display. This doesn't mean setting it on the mantle for a week or two then moving it aside as a new piece replaces it. It also doesn't mean hanging it on the revolving refrigerator door. What it does mean is elevating the work of art to a level your child perceives as “important”. Yes, it means placing it in an actual frame and hanging it on your wall with an actual nail!

You will not believe the complete and totally aw that comes from your child’s face as they gaze upon their very own artwork being displayed next to art and photos of the utmost importance in your home. I would not have believed this if I hadn't seen it for myself.
Despite my praise and encouragement, my son had always lacked confidence in his artwork. He wasn't terribly interested in painting and drawing. Being an artist myself, I was sad for him. Creating art is a wonderful process I wanted him to share in it. So I did something so simple that changed his art world - while he was out playing one afternoon, I took 5 pieces of his artwork, framed and hung them. I specifically took down works of art and vacation photos that hung in key spots in the house and replaced them with his.

I can’t describe the look on his face when he saw his framed creations hanging in their place. It was a look of pride, delight and complete accomplishment all at once. It was so heartwarming.
Now my son proudly points out all of his masterpieces to our guests and has been sketching and painting with zeal ever since.

Who would have thought!? Something so simple could make such a big difference. Here are a few tips I found to be helpful when hanging artwork.
- Buy frames on sale and keep a stash handy. (Ikea has very inexpensive frames)
- Set up a collage wall of frames. It is easy to add more frames without having to search for fresh wall space.
- Look for discounted, tacky artwork that has been matted and framed in bargain bins. Pop out the outdated prints and pop yours in. It will look like you spent big bucks for it.
- Place scrapbook paper behind artwork that is too small to fill a standard frame. It gives the illusion of a mat and is most often of archival quality so it won’t fade.
- You can’t possibly hang all of their artwork so choose their favorites and place the others in a hope chest specifically for artwork. Don’t hide it in a closet never to be seen again – flip the lid open on rainy days and peruse through the masterpieces. You can have a custom box painted to match your décor. I keep mine in the family room.
