The Victorian Lady Photo Frame

We have been seeing in many stores and catalogs hanging frames that can be put on a dresser knobs, bedposts etc... So, we have created our own unique version "The Victorian Lady Photo Frame"

As always, this is easy to make, but makes a unique home accessory. We have found "The Victorian Lady Photo Frame," looks best when a black and white photo is placed in it. This makes a unique Mother's Day gift that you personalize with the photo you select. Also, this would look great with a vintage wedding photo in it. You may even want to hang a group of our Victorian Ladies on a wall to make a unique photo collage.

Don't forget, if you don't want to use an original photo, make sure to make a copy of your photo to use in this frame.
