I've been putting some of my props & stuff in cheapo diorama frames, and I think they look pretty nice.
High Priest of Karnak medallion is my favorite:

Cool! I need to get me some, for those slightly 3D objects. :) Is there a glass in the front?

I saw some on the TARGET website. Thanks for the suggestion! Now I can display some of those things just sitting around in drawers/boxes.

Yeah, I picked up a couple in Target last year. I've got my Gillman_fan Medallion of Dracula in one, and will be putting some of my cat's belongings in one.

Is that OK with the cat?

I guess. He's dead, so, he's not using them anymore.

Unless he's a ghost cat.

Not that I'm aware of. He's been gone since the end of August, and so far, no sign of feline ghostly activities. The vet made pawprints on a card, and I've got his collar, tags, and some pictures of him that I'll put in one of those Target frames.

Nice way to add to display and free up shelf space at the same time

BTW, how do you get those buttons and other things to stick to the back. I wouldn't want to put glue or tape on those candy boxes.

Wow, I really love what you have done with those. I have a Wolfman medallion (new film) that I shadowboxed a few years ago and I've never really been happy with it, but your stuff looks great.

I glued a piece of cotton batting to the cardboard frame-back. Then, I stretched a piece of fabric (black velvet-looking stuff) over it. The pinback buttons can be pinned in wherever!

Thanks! Figured it was something like that.
