Playroom Is Getting Closer To Being Complete!

So I finally finished a few of my playroom projects and was able to convince Andy to hang them for me...that is a feat to get him to do, but I'm very grateful that he did it before he left for a business trip.

This is the magnet board I posted about earlier - finally hung on the wall.

Here's my art work display creation:

And this is my very own creation.  Now we can show off our art projects AND decorate the wall of the playroom!  I found the stars and the plaques at a wood craft place out here.  I painted them, sanded off the edges, distressed them and then had to convince Andy to help me with the rest.  He drilled a nut into the back of the plaque and then an eye bolt into the front of the star and attached them together.  I found the wire at Ikea as part of another package for hanging a curtain, but noticed yesterday that Home Depot carries this same wire and it's cheaper.  Andy was able to crimp the wire around each eye bolt to attach it.  I found big clothes pin at Joann's and mod podged primary colored paper to them and then used my cricut to cut out apples, lady bugs and stars and mod podged them to the bottom portions of the clothes pins.  These work great to hold the art work and I can always add more clothes pins as necessary.  My husband deserves kudos for helping me with the hard stuff...the assembly and hanging.  He drilled two holes in the back of each plaque and then screwed drywall screws into the wall so that the tension from the wire wouldn't make the plaques move.  He worked much harder and longer than he wanted to on Sunday night!  Thanks Babe!  The kids and I love it!
