The good thing about ATC's is that you can use up scraps and smaller items - so you don't need to buy anything specific if you don't want. :)

I have no idea where to start, what glue etc do I need to seal them, will PCA do?

Hi Kirsty, you don't need to seal them.

Look on them as tiny LOs.

You can use anything you want on them.

The main thing to remember is the size, 2.5 inches x 3.5 inches.

I usually cut my ATCs from thick card, but a lot of people use old trading cards. Just make sure they are the right size.

I wasn't sure if you needed to seal them to make sure everything was stuck down.

Do you just use any paper etc to make them or do you need specific?

[mystydog]

Kirsty, I use anything.

Left over paper from LOs, card, tissue, die cuts from old coke cans, eyelets, fibres.

Honestly, you can use anything at all.

ATCs don't even have to be made with any card or pasper, you can use polymer clay or plastic.

Just have a play.

I've just looked through your gallery. Why not make a pergamano ATC, that would look really cool.

I'll swap with you if you want to do any swaps. I don't have any pergamano ATCs yet lol.

Is this the sort of thing or am I totally off track?

[mystydog]

Did you just make that?

Perfect! Keep following the track you're on, it is the right one lol.

Aren't they quick to make?

Reading this has given me the push to have a go! I've looked at some really lovely ones on the web and even cut out some cards the right size ..... but then just sat and looked at them!!! :lol:
