DIY matting kids art

I’m always looking for cute ideas to decorate a room. These kids car art pieces I found years ago as plain art. I wanted to mat them and frame them but didn’t want to spend the cash going to a frame shop. So instead, I bought some ready cut mats at the craft store and added my own fabric. I then purchased some standard metal frames with glass included and ended up saving myself some cash.

You can create the same look with your own kids art or the art your kids create! You can easily add your own fabric by simply making a diagonal cut at each corner to wrap the fabric from front to back. The texture of the fabric adds a little extra touch and the mats can be changed easily to coordinate with the art pieces.

Here’s the extra fun – these images put together for my son’s run when we was born. He’s now almost 9 and outgrown the cars theme. He’s into sports so we’re changing up his room – I’m so excited!
