I know there are a lot of "crafty" people here and people who are more artistic than I am. That would be just about everybody. But I digress...

I have some stuff I'm framing and I ran into a problem. I have 4 pre-show backstage passes from when Heather was in the band and one of Jimmmy's guitar picks. I wanted to frame the passes along with the ticket stubs from those 4 shows and put the pick in the middle. It looks halfway decent, considering I did it, except for the pick. It slid down to the bottom when I flipped the frame over.

Anyway, my point is, and I do have one, is there some kind of glue or other sticky substance that I can get in an art supply store? I think it would look better if the pick was centered instead of leaning at an angle at the bottom of the frame. Thanks

Can't help you, Larry. I'm not "crafty," but there are some others on BN that would be able to help you. You'll have to post a picture of your creation when you finish.

There are several, I just didn't want to waste time and space describing all of them.

Have you tried double stick tape?
That way it can be removed

yes, double sided tape for this or glue stick. one note, your passes will fade if they aren't laminated or if you don't use special uv glass in the frame. purists poo poo the uv glass because it's a tade less clear ( ya really can't notice) but you won't be sorry when your artwork doesn't fade.

Any brand of "Tack and Stick"






Reusable, and removable.

There are things called glue dots that you can get at most craft/scrapbook/aaron brothers type stores. I've seen them at Target too, in the scrapbook section. I use them a lot. They are available in various sizes and thicknesses, in case you want a more 3D type effect.

Different companies make them under different names, but the idea is all the same.

Chew some gum and stick a little on the back.

Ordinarilly, I am Miss Frugality. However in instances such as this, I take the item/s to Ben Franklin or Michael's to get them to professionally frame it. They're awesome in helping you choose just the right frame and matte. Even I prefer to spend the extra money when it's something that important.

Larry...sorry to say...there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING that will hold that pick in place. So...since you no longer can use it, I will pm my address and guarantee you I will take good care of it!

small piece of double faced tape!!

That's what I used on the special one I have.

I went with the double sided tape. It's working, so far.

Forget it, Mamma Bear. Send it to me, Larry. I will actually use it and play Jimmy music with it on stage......and I will owe you big time!

Larry, good for you getting it done! I'm proud of you. I'll bet you do have a great collection of stuff!

Maybe I can get motivated!

rubber cement works great for little things like that...
sticks to most everything, but can also be pulled off and "rolled" off the pick without damaging it.

Picture please

Damb. I misread... I thought Larry was trying to frame someone, not something.

Oh yeah, so on topic... Yay you, Larry! Now where's the frakkin' pics?

Yep. I thought this thread was going to be about O.J.
