Scrapbook/framing help needed!

Hopstheduck · 08/02/2012 17:49

I want to frame sme laminated tickets, their lanyards, a program and possibly a photo or two. On googling, it seems I need a scrap booking frame, and I can probably use photo corners for the tickets, but im not sure how to mount the program or lanyards. Any help would be much appreciated!

I really don't want to glue anything if possible. I'm also not crafty minded at all, so really need an idiot's how-to guide!

Have you tried HobbyCraft's website. Sorry I'm not crafty either (well not in the practical sense) and I don't even know what a lanyard is. (off to google)

It's a ribbon with a clip on it for the tickets. It was logoed too, which is why I would like to put that in with the tickets.

I will try hobbycraft, good thinking. There is a bit store not too far off and that might be a place to look. Thanks.

When I was a picture framer we used to stitch anything fabric to the mountcard/backing board.

A couple of little stitches would hold them and would not show if done in the right place...

Stitching could work, if I looped it, it shouldn't show. Thanks!

Any ideas for the programn? Is quite thick and heavy. I could just cut the front page from one, but I'd rather not.

I'd be tempted to stitch that, too, depending on the weight of it and the kind of paper it's made from. You could also staple it, although I would be concerned about it long-term.

You could stitch the body of it and then fold or curl the first page to cover any stitching or stapling.
