Artwork/Photo Gallery

My friend Rachel over at {Family Ever After} is co-hosting a monthly "Pinspired Rewired" competition.

This month, the theme is Washi Tape.  Have you seen washi tape yet?  SO much fun!  Basically it's masking tape, only with fun, colorful designs on it.  Lots of fun.  Anyway.  I have this project that (embarrassingly enough) I have been "working" on since January.  Originally, I wanted it to be a photo gallery in my boy's room with large photos of them hanging from it with cute clothes pins that I was decorating with paper and Mod Podge.  Okay.  Well those clothes pins were taking way too long for me.

And then I found this on Pinterest:

Super cute clothes pins covered in washi tape, originally from {The Little Pink Studio}.  SO much easier than scrapbook paper and mod podge!!

So, I ordered some super cute washi tape from {Pretty Tape} on Etsy, and pulled out some of my super cheap clothes pins purchased at Wal-Mart.

All it took was one strip of tape over the top of the clothes pin.  Took me 30 seconds to do all 4.

And now, we have a fantastic art display in my children's room.  Remember how I said I wanted it to showcase photos of my boys?  Well, Brychan has too many "treasured" pieces of art from preschool that he can't bear to part with yet.  So, until school is over, we are using it for art.  Once summer hits, photos of different sizes will be hung up there instead.

And the wire everything is hanging from?  It's a flexible shower rod from IKEA, which cost $14.99, and took my husband all of 5 minutes to hang.  It's perfect, and I love it!

Be sure to check out the Pinspired and Rewired contest!  I'm sure you'll get lots of fun ideas or decide to jump in and participate yourself!  It was the perfect motivation for me to finish this project that was taking ridiculously too long! :)
