Children's Artwork Bunting

Is your house like mine, filled with art work made by your children's which you can not bring your self to throw away? I usually leave it to gather up and then my husband usually disposes of it. I'm always quick to grab my favourite piece and place them in their memory boxes. 

This week I decided to sort out the art they children had made over the the half term holidays last week and to use these as a keepsake. After thinking of a few ideas I decided to settle with artwork bunting to go around the dinning room where the walls were previously decorated with art work from my Childminding days. Now the walls are looking quite bare as the art work was taken down in preparation to paint them. So I thought so bunting would work well to decorate these empty space and is easily removed when needed. 

Resources:

Children's art work

Scissors

PVA glue or glue gun

Ribbon or string

We placed 1 CM apart. which was perfect if you dont have glue in the house you could simply use paper clip which would make it nice and easy to change the pictures when they get a little old.
