There's also a nice-looking version here http://www.lithcoproducts.com/prods/job%20jackets.htm More expensive, but you don't have to buy 25 all at once.
This is one of the best videos I've seen at AT. It's practical, easy to implement, low-cost, and can leave a big impact. Love!
It's a variation on the CD-case photo/ art display. I think dust and spiders and such would collect in the (slightly gaping) open pockets.
Great idea! That solves the problems of me breaking the metal tabs of Ikea frames when I change the art.
Just don't put anything you really care about in them, and leave them for a long time - the non-archival materials will fade or otherwise damage the item.
What size are those. Think those would be great for grandkid art too!!!!!!!
Going to get some now but need to know what size those are.
I remember seeing this idea in MS Living. And, with a sigh, I remember Blueprint. What a great magazine that was. Enjoyed this video, as I have all of them before it.
@AidelK-- sigh party for Blueprint. I had just discovered it at an airport, immediately subscribed, and then six paltry issues later, it went bust. It remains a hole in my heart.
