Does anyone have any good ideas on how to attach acetate wraps to your cards?

Andrea,

I haven't got any to try but I suspect eyelets or brads would work really well.

How about
1)staples (you can get coloured ones) and doing it like a school jotter - you can cover it with ribbon or cord with tags or tassels if you don't like that look - or
2)thin double sided tape just at the back or front of the fold, covered with a peel-off border or as above?

I had wondered if I could punch small holes and put ribbon through to hold all together but have not tried it yet.

You can also put ribbon round them to hold them in place.. and it looks nice too.

Hi, I have just done some myself and I used a double sided tape from Impex it's only about 3mm wide and very clear.  I took a length about 2" and placed it along the backbone of the card making sure there was none showing at the front.  I then stood the card on it's side with backbone upwards and slipped the acetate wrap over the card worked perfectly (prehaps I was having a good night)  I was very pleased with the results.
Hope it helps
