FRAMES TWO

This is the same technique as previously described using a matboard covered with fabric, paper, ribbon,etc. If you want a padded look then place quilt batting between matboard and top covering. Trim with ribbon, buttons, flowers (silk, pressed, dried) or whatever you want.
I wanted to show you the pergamano in the middle, unfortunatly the photo is not good and you can't see it well. In this case the matboard is decorated with gathered lace and wire edged pretty ribbon. Matboard is lace covered design.
The large frame was another garage sale find. A few touchups with brown acrylics and some copper rub 'N' buff and it came out looking almost as good as new. The hanging inside the frame is one of my wood cutouts. The pot is hung from coiled wire and a bow is added at the top of the wire. The ribbon started out as just a yellow and white ribbon but by using the same colors as I used to paint the flowers in the pot, I was able to make all appear as one matching unit.
A rectangle of 1" pine with the center cut out along with some sanding is all it takes for this simple frame. It was painted and embellished to match the photo of my grandson, Wesley, in the picture.
