ATC / ACEO Display or Gifting Idea.

This is one of those times that carrying a playing card around with me, paid off. This paper-mache ornament is a great size for displaying or gifting an ATC/ACEO. I saw these in Michaels Craft Stores around Christmas time one year.

Paint, collage, or decorate the ornament anyway your heart desires. Add some 'bling' - maybe sparkling rhinestones around the edges. Then use photo corners to attach the card to the surface. Or you may find other creative ways - there are all manner of clips and other items to use - miniature clothes pegs, or butterfly clips, for instance.
