For stitchings that I want to gift, I frame them.

Assuming that it's worth the cost, I take it to my local framing shop. They will give me a piece of mount board cut to size and I then stretch it and tape it to the card (you can stretch it using pins and then sew the excess across the back, but I still have some leftover spiky stuff designed to make it easier). When I take it back, they cut the mounts and frame it. So far, every one has been beautiful, but it's about £50 for each one. So some of them I just frame myself, into a bought frame of the right size. You can get stickybacked mount board to make it easier.

I do have one that I plan to make into a hanging - just sewing the Aida together with a piece of fabric and hanging it off a piece of dowelling
