    • Glue Gun and Stick Glue
    • Old Jewelry

    Step-by-Step Procedure

    1. Prepare all the materials needed in crafting the Jewelry Picture Memory Frame. You can use any frame or you may use a certificate holder for this craft.

    2. Take the back cover of the frame and remove anything that is attached to it.

    3. Detach the glass carefully from its current position. Once you have the glass in hand, procure some cotton and securely fasten it to the surface of the glass.

    4. Acquire a suitable adhesive, such as glue, and affix the cotton securely to the glass, ensuring a firm attachment.

    5. Procure construction paper and position it atop the cotton at the glass’s top. Apply glue to secure it, establishing a padded layer that will function as our base.

    6. After the previous procedures, assemble the frame back using the hot glue.

    7. After the base is set, begin by outlining your old jewelry to the frame, forming your desired design and theme.

    8. After forming the desired design and theme, carefully glue your old jewelry to the base of your frame.

    9. After the final process, showcase the final product by showing it to your friends or attaching it to a designated wall.
