Do you know where your jewels are?

I saw these instructions for a jewelry frame online:



At our local Goodwill outlet store, I found some picture frames with missing glass, so they were perfect for my misguided purpose...

I have to admit that I did not look at the actual instructions. I just saw the pictures, crocheted a very simple lace-type rectangle, and attached it to the first frame.

My first jewelry frame would be a Christmas present for my daughter and came out quite lovely:



The hardest part was tacking (or nailing) the crocheted fabric to the back of the frame. My husband and a friend, who happened to stay with us at the time, helped to stretch and tack. And the result was quite lovely!

I had two more frames of similar sizes and crocheted two more rectangles. Gotta get DH to get the staple gun out again...
