Don't throw out your kids' artwork, try this hack instead
Updated | By The Workzone with Elana Afrika-Bredenkamp
Here are some cute ideas on how to preserve your child's artwork without being shamed for throwing them away.
Several first-time mothers have used social media to share what they wish they had known as first-time moms, and most of the time, this information is super helpful to other first-time mothers.
This time, a mother who prides herself in mom hacks shared a few cute hacks for preserving her kids' artwork.
The one idea we enjoyed the most from Mom Hack Guru was how she preserved her kids' artwork. Instead of throwing their hand-drawn pictures away, she transferred them onto T-shirts or Tote bags.
We know how much kids love to draw, and as much as we enjoy seeing their beautiful works of art, keeping all of their drawings can become a lot.

Make sure to iron on the artwork for three to five minutes so that it transfers well. Also, handwash the bag or the T-shirt so that the design stays on for a longer time.
