Product Review: The Ikea Dignitet curtain wire and clips are a great addition to the art room. Used together, these can be used to quickly clip up artwork for student critiques, or as a more permanent exhibit of student work. Be sure to have a wire cutter handy as well to cut off extra length of wire to fit your room. Currently, I have three of these installed in my art room. Be sure to chose a spot that is easy for all students to view and if stacking them, leave enough space to display large artwork or posters.
Bucket Rating (out of 5):

I love them – but they aren’t offered on-line – you have to find an IKEA… I had to drive two hours for mine! Is there another way to craft something similar from the hardware store?
I have also seen teachers use eyehooks in a similar way. You could attach two eyehooks to the wall and affix a thin chain between the two. This method could also be used to display just one picture if you hang the chain vertically from the eyehooks and use a clip at the end of the chain to attach the picture to.
Here is an article that I recently found about how to put one of these together with basic hardware. Please see the following link: http://www.lowescreativeideas.com/idea-library/Modular_Photo_Display_0710.aspx
