Memory Lane Picture Frame
save
Total Time 2 to 3 hours
Ages school-age
Is your mother's or grandmother's jewelry box a treasure trove of elegant baubles? Ask her to donate some trinkets to your cause, then use them to decorate a picture frame for a sentimental sister or cousin. Want to get down to brass tacks instead? Make a treasure box with little pieces of hardware scavenged from Grandpa's tool chest.
What you'll need
- Picture frame (flat wood or plastic works best)
- Costume jewelry
- Foam brush
- Strong craft glue (we like Crafter's Pick The Ultimate Glue)
How to make it
To prepare the jewelry, remove earring and brooch backs and unstring any beads. Remove the glass from the picture frame.
Working in sections, use the foam brush to apply a thick layer of glue, then press on the beads and jewelry. When the frame is completely dry, reinsert the glass.
