How do you store DC's Art Projects?

Do you have as special folder? DD is only one, but she has a ton of projects from daycare. I would like to save some of them!

We do. I save everything.

I hang them on a board in his room (one of those fabric criss-crossy ones) until it gets full then I take down the oldest to put in the newest.

I think I am going to scan as much as I can and make annual photo books.

This is what I've planned on doing too, when she gets some projects.

My friend hangs a clothesline in her kids' playroom and hangs the art off of clothespins, it looks so cute too!

This is what I've been doing. Digital photos, actually, since many of his projects are either 3D, larger than 8.5x11, or too fragile to scan.

I keep an "Artwork" folder with my photos, and sort it by year and month.

I read a great idea in a magazine.

Every August a mom would go to the local pizzeria and get a big pizza box. DC would decorate the outside, and she would label the year/grade/age etc.

Art projects/tests/etc get stored in the box and at the end of the year would be brought to the attic for storage.

What a great idea.

I am very bad. I dont' save everything. I don't even bring the glitter projects home. The things I save I laminate and use as placemats. I figure they are perserved andCarlie LOVES seeing her artwork all the time.

If we used pizza boxes for everything DS made, our house would look like a pizzaria where there are several towers floor to ceiling of nothing but pizza boxes! Chat Icon Chat Icon
