DIY Wednesday

In this Children Inspire Design Do It Yourself series, artist Rebecca Peragine explains how to display art collections without frames.

I like to think of creative ways to display art without the extra cost of frames. In this series , I'll explain different ways to create inexpensive (or free) ways to create unique spaces. Here's a perfect example of how create eco-friendly framing on a budget. 

What you will need:

1. Cork board
2. Adhesive dots
3. Tacks
4. Art prints or wall card
5. Ruler

Step 1: Buy cork at any craft store, or you can even find the items at Target. The cork board below is 12x12 and comes in a set of four ($6). You'll also want to purchase a box of adhesive dots ($3).

Step 2:

Use tacks as markers after measuring one inch from bottom and two inches from side.

Step 3:

Place art (back side up) on cork panels, then place dots in corners.

Step 4:

Rest art on tacks and remove once it's in place. 

Step 5:

Put dots on backside of cork, place on wall and you're done!
