I’d like to share another idea
with you for storing and displaying ATCs.
I purchased several faux books from Michaels Craft Store. These books are already decorated with all
kinds of lovely paper. It just so happened
that the largest one was 3” deep. This
is just deep enough to accommodate hanging ATCs (as long as the embellishments
don’t go off the sides of the card). The
overall dimensions of the book are 13 ½” tall x 10 ¾” wide x 3 ¼”deep on the
outside and 3” deep on the inside.
This was such a quick to put
together project because the book was already assembled and covered with beautiful embossed and gilded papers. All I did was add a knob and the
two dowel rods.
The spine of the book bows
out so I was able to hide the left side of the dowel in the spine.
On the right side of the book
I hid the ends of the dowels with stickers.
I decided to hang the book on
the wall so I added two loops and ribbon to the back of the book
What a delight- just love seeing your clever and creative ideas!
ReplyDeleteWonderful idea! This is so perfect for all the ATCs I've accumulated from my swaps.

Really AWESOME, love the idea and your book of ATCs is fantastic !!! Thank you for sharing, Coco x
ReplyDeleteI couldn't find any faux books at Michael's or I didn't look in the right place, but I did find a paper mache one that is not decorated, so I picked that one up! Not to decorating it!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Laura,
ReplyDeleteI literally burst out laughing when I saw this post because I purchased a few of these boxes myself to play around with to store ATC's.
Geez I think I am beginning to think like you. LOL Only kidding!!
Take care,
