DIY Wooden Art Display

There’s lots of painting, coloring, and all around toddler-sized artwork that happens at my house on a regular basis. I’m definitely the sentimental mom that doesn’t want to throw anything away, hahaha. I knew I wanted a little art display that would allow for interchangeable pieces. Here’s a little DIY project that was super easy, and I love how it turned out.

Josh bought a 1×8 board at Lowe’s and had them cut it twice – into three equal pieces (they will do up to 2 cuts for free!). He also picked up a small jar of wood stain. We already had most of the hardware at home. I didn’t get any pictures of the staining process… but it’s really simple. I simply used a paintbrush to brush the stain on the board, wiped off the excess with an old towel, and then let it dry (might take up to 48 hours to dry).

Stain.

Supplies. Fork included.

I used this fork for measuring purposes… because I’m nothing short of a DIY Professional. #FancySupplies

Picture hanging hardware.

Screw tiny screws into the board.

I didn’t measure my spacing… just eyeballed it. Again, because I’m a  professional perfectionist like that.

I picked these up at WalMart… a big box for under $3.

Tada!

So easy and loved how this turned out.
