My Very First Post!

So this past weekend was pretty jam packed... We had 2 birthday parties to attend, and I wanted to make something to display all of Cameron's (my son) artwork from school. He is only 2 years old, and he thinks that we need to hang all of his artwork on the refrigerator. Needless to say, our refrigerator was on overload with all of his cute little drawings and paintings. So here is our alternative display:
I had some extra wood that I just cut to be the size I wanted. I spray painted the board with 2 coats of cheap spray paint from Hobby Lobby. It took 2 coats of paint for the writing as well because I wanted the writing to be solid.
I then spray painted clothes pins and hot glued them along the bottom. I stenciled the stars and just free-handed the little doodle design. Tada! Here is the final display, hanging in Cameron's bedroom! (Cameron's bedroom is done in Toy Story, so that is where the color scheme came from.) He LOVED it! :)
