Jewelry For Your Home! I want to share this fun project with you that I just completed today….a Vintage Rhinestone Encrusted Picture Frame! I’ve been seeing these beautiful frames in upscale gifts shops lately and they are always sooooo expensive. But it’s very easy to create.
First, I raided my stash of vintage rhinestone bling, then grabbed my trusty hot glue gun and an old metal picture frame. You can use any picture frame you like, but I wanted to go for an “elegant shabby” look, so I spray painted the frame a creamy white color first. Then I just hot glued on bits and pieces of old broken jewelry around the frame.
I really like how this came out. I won’t be offering these on my website, but I think these would make terrific gifts! I plan to make a few more and thought one of these would make a great Mothers Day gift too. I think I’ll make one for my mom and put a special picture of the two of us together inside, or maybe a vintage mothers day card inside would be nice too. The possibilities are endless! I hope you’ll give this fun and easy project a try! ~ xoxo Joy

Joy this is absolutely gorgeous! One can never have to much bling, but I think the pale white frame makes it look elegant.Soooo 40's Hollywood.
And you're not going to feature them in your shop?
