I found this little 70th Japanese bird tile on Etsy (fox & found), and had to have it! It just makes me happy to look at it!
Now that it has arrived (just as pretty as I've hoped), I want to display it, but I can't think of a way to frame it. If you have any advise for me ... do share:) I would really appreciate it.
Glue would make me nervous; I wouldn't want to damage the tile. Depending on how heavy the tile is, you might try double-sided tape to hold it in place, or maybe that tacky, gummy stuff you can use to hang posters on the wall.
If you want to go totally over board, you could buy a garden stepping stone kit from Michaels and make a bigger art work with it. You might have the how to hang it dilemma still though. :) And it would be heavy. Lean it against a wall somewhere...
Or just frame it in a shadowbox like everyone else is saying. :)
I think I'm going to hand it with a plate hanger:) That's seems best. The shadow box sounds good, but I'm afraid it would be too much. I really do like the simple solution best:) Thank you all so very very much! h:)
Oooh, just found your latest purchase. How fabulous - lucky girl! Yeah, go simple. I've got two Rob Ryan tiles and I've got them propped against the window sill (with a blob of bluetac at the back for extra security). xx

The Ribba 9x9 frame at IKEA would be a perfect size and I believe you can use it as a shadow box.
Cute tile! I can see why you like it.
Maybe you could find a little tiny easel to display it on :)
Should I glue it onto the easel or wood with hot glue?

Such a cute tile! Can't you just leave it on the blackboard like that?
Such a cute tile!! I love the easel idea!! They sell tiny easels at Dick Blick online http://www.dickblick.com/zz071/47/

Sweet! I say leave it au naturel... hang it with a plate hanger on the wall, or prop it up on a shelf or ledge.
Love the Charlie + Lola mug too... One of those fab kid’s shows I catch myself watching even when the kids aren’t around!
