My boys are always doing "art" projects that I love to display. I loved the idea of putting them in frames and displaying them on the wall, but found it was sort of a hassle to change out the projects since they do new ones so often (practically every week). I LOVE vintage anything, and i am always on the look out for vintage games. I especially love children's games like scrabble. (If you weren't into vintage, you could use any game like newer Life, or Scrabble) I started out by making sure the board didn't fold on itself. I did this by hot gluing a piece of sturdy cardboard (or you could use anything thin and sturdy) to the back fold. I let that dry and turned it over to the front and hot glued the clips. I used wooden clothes pins, but you could use any clips you want. Make sure you place the clips the right space a part in order to hold your child's work. Mine do as small as 81/2 X 11, so I put them close together. I used the game pieces to spell out each child's name at the top. You could add holes to each top corner for a hanging string/ribbon. I didn't do that because I use the 3M wall Velcro for my plaster walls.
