Cels Forum

Dear Zoicite,

Well, so far, I have just let my cels travel to one corner
or the other (even in a standard sized cel book, most cels
are a little bit smaller than that).  I have bought a couple
of cels that somewhat help render the problem.  The person
who had the cel before me put the standard sized cel in a
cel bag, took a sheet of construction paper the EXACT same
size of the cel book sleeve and cut a hole in the center
approximately the same size as the cel (thus making a paper
frame), and then (from the back of the paper frame) taped
the cel in the cel bag to the frame.  That way, when you
slip this construction into your cel book, the picture won't
slide around anymore.  Note that the squarish whole cut into
the paper frame is not exactly the same size as the cel to
give you room to tape the cel from behind.

As for me, I'm too lazy to do this to all my cels!  If I
did, I would go nuts =P, but it really does make a perfectly
wonderful display though.  I really admire the person's
ingenuity (I can't spell!).  I guess if you want to get
fancy, you can also decorate the frame's edges or have
several layers of "matting" too, but like I said, I'm too
lazy.


Sincerely,

Sonia
