Seven affordable art ideas for kids' rooms

Thinking outside the box
If you are searching for things to decorate the walls of your nursery, try looking in unexpected places. You can make a collage featuring baby's birth announcement, photos and newspaper headlines. A friend of mine scanned photos of my son and made fake magazine covers with them on her computer. Framed, they look really cute in my son's room. For a little girl's room, frame a beautiful old handkerchief, doily or piece of heirloom lace or needlework. Even a piece of chintz or toile fabric would look really interesting in a frame. Don't limit yourself to flat objects. Shadowbox frames can be used to frame an unlimited number of things - cute buttons, clothing and shoes, vintage rattles and spoons.
