Pegboard Display

August 13, 2009 by Chris

Well, since the mudroom cabinets were installed, I’ve been trying to figure out a system for all the art projects that come home during the school year. I used to use the whiteboard above the boot bench, but well…that’s gone. So…I give you my creation.

It’s not necessarily in my most ideal spot, but it is right where my kids can see it. That’s pretty important to me. Oh how I hate that light switch for getting in the way. Stupid necessities.

IMG_6723

You wanna know how I did it? Let’s pretend you said, “yes”. I bought a small sheet of pegboard at Lowe’s for $3.47. I didn’t realize they made the smaller boards, so it worked out great for me! I had them make one cut to shorten the length a little bit.

I painted it using my favorite paint ever. Then, as a template, I put some paint cans in the cream paint and just filled them in with my favorite round sponge brush.

IMG_6705

I bought some bullnose clips at Hobby Lobby, but I had no idea how I was going to put them on. After some major head scratching, I turned to the internet. Thank goodness for smart internet people. (Blurry picture alert)

IMG_6715

Place the bullnose clip using the items above to make the item below. Make sense?

IMG_6721

Finally, hang that artwork, good test score, or notes sent home all over it! Most importantly, be glad that you now have somewhere to show it off for your kids!

    I love this… have to keep this in my project to do when I start on redoing my daughter's room. It would be a great board to keep her "pre-teenage" stuff….

  8. Susan Crabtree says

  9. Kara says

  10. UPrinting says

    August 13, 2009 at 2:36 am

    This is lovely! It would be a perfect way to showcase your children's works. It's simple, cost-effective, and really stylish too! Very innovative, thanks! Now I'm thinking of making one for my room, wondering what I'd like to paint in it haha.

    I love your peg board so much! I wish I had a wall somewhere to put this on besides the "ugly" garage. Thanks for sharing!

  18. Mandi says

    August 13, 2009 at 3:01 am

  21. Misty says

    August 13, 2009 at 3:49 am

    Cool…I have been getting a peg board project all planned out for awhile now too. I will let you know when I finally get time to assemble it all and show off the finished product! I hope mine turns out half as cute as yours! You ROCK!!!!!!

  22. Char says

    August 13, 2009 at 3:53 am

  24. 2 Green Eyed Girls says

    August 13, 2009 at 3:55 am

    2 words…..Freaking Fabulous! I love this board and have definitely put it on my "great ideas to copy" list.

  25. b. says

    August 13, 2009 at 4:39 am

    very creative and so cute!!! and im loving your black garage door with the number.. is that your address? i want to copy!!!! where did you get the stencil? maybe if i go read that post instead of just looking at the pretty pictures ill get the answer to my these questions… 🙂

  26. One Craft Girl's Corner says

    August 13, 2009 at 4:43 am

    I love this! My twins aren't making art yet, but I'll have to remember to look back at your idea when they do!

  27. JobandBrittany says

    August 13, 2009 at 4:46 am

    this looks great!! i LOVE polka dots….

  28. ~Mommy+Me~ says

    August 13, 2009 at 4:50 am

    Love this! Did the pegboard come in black or did you spraypaint it black?

  29. Christie says

    August 13, 2009 at 5:33 am

    Such a cute idea!! I love the extra added touch of the polka dots. Now I'm trying to think of where I could put one in my house or maybe even in my classroom. Thanks for sharing!

  30. Tales From My Empty Nest says

    August 13, 2009 at 5:44 am

    Love the pegboard, especially the polka dots. Such a nice display area! Love & blessings from NC!

    Great idea and I love the big circles! I featured this at Somedaycrafts.blogspot.com Grab my "featured" button!

  32. Cathy says

    Just poppin in to say hello… Love the idea..

  33. Robin says

    What a great idea! My daugther happen to see me reading your post and now she wants one too!

  34. Girl with the Curlz says

    August 13, 2009 at 10:12 am

    You are non-stop with great ideas!! I wish I could think up all these cute things. But since I can't I love that I can borrow your cute ideas :-)Love the black and white. So cute.

  35. Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions says

    August 13, 2009 at 11:11 am

    Great idea, Chris, and it keeps stuff off the refrigerator too. I wonder if you could cut out a hole for the switch and with a smaller white circle around it, it might blend in. I had a similar situation with hanging pictures but I had to deal with a 3-light switch and alarm panel.

  36. The DIY Show Off says

    August 13, 2009 at 12:01 pm

    It's awesome! I love it!
    You're amazing. 🙂

    August 13, 2009 at 12:18 pm

    Awesome!

    I have some leftover squares of pegboard left over. I put some in my laundry room….now I know what to do with the rest! Thanks for the fun idea!

  38. Carrie says

    August 13, 2009 at 12:34 pm

    Oh, I love it! Quite possible the best school artwork display board I've ever seen.

  39. Jennifer Juniper says

    August 13, 2009 at 12:38 pm

    Those clips are perfect, and the little trick with the nut and bolt will come in handy someday. I feel likes it's giving me an idea…I just can quite form it in my head yet. You know how that is, right? I'll just file it away in my jumbled brain for now.

  40. Sarah says

    August 13, 2009 at 12:41 pm

    Oh, I love it! I've been looking for a way to display artwork. Thank you for sharing!

  41. mistyws says

    August 13, 2009 at 1:27 pm

    Love this idea. Now it's too late for me. My son is a teen and no more pretty pictures to hang! 🙁 But i'm still thinking I might like it in my office..to hang things!

  42. Kristen says

    August 13, 2009 at 1:40 pm

    I LOVE the pegboard! What a perfect idea!

  43. Kari @ Ucreate says

    August 13, 2009 at 1:46 pm

    This is FABULOUS!! I'll be featuring today!

  44. Courtney Kirkland says

    August 13, 2009 at 1:49 pm

    Love this! I swear, by the time my son gets old enough to start school, I will probably have printed off your ENTIRE blog since I love every idea you blog about and keep them in a binder. 🙂

  48. Sunny says

    August 13, 2009 at 3:04 pm

    OOOH, super idea! I think I'm gonna do this for my craft room "idea/inspiration board"!

  49. Lil' Woman says

    Turned out fabulous!

  50. Lisa says

    SUPER FUN! way better than the silly plain chip board. hmmm, I'll have to incorporate this into our garage remodel. Thanks for a great site, love love love it

    Simple and cute!

  53. down pillow says

    August 13, 2009 at 4:26 pm

    OK, question. Would an S hook have worked to keep the clips on the pegboard? I think I'd like my clips to be more "mobile". Still an amazingly cute idea! Thanks for sharing.

  54. Molly says

    August 13, 2009 at 4:28 pm

    "Let's pretend you said yes" You are too funny. What would be funnier if that Kleenex box was in the pi_ture (yes, srsly – I'm married to a _omputer nerd and _an't get this fixed.) I have a date at Offi_e Max asap.

    ps…the ever elusive bla_k _rows (the bird not the band)are at the Dollar Store now – LOTS of glitter skeleton heads. Thought of you….awwwww.
    pss..would you DO something with that ugly lightswit_h? Really, it's not attra_tive. Nor is my typing.
