Jewelry Frame

My niece turns 12 this year.

I can't believe it.

That makes me feel so old.

I was 10 when I first became an aunt.

For her birthday,

B has decided she wants to get her ears pierced.

Pierced.

That just sounds painful.

But beauty is pain, right?

I don't know if all my pain has paid off yet... but that's beside the point.

For her big NUMBER 1-2

I decided to get crafty.

Witness for yourself:

The Jewelry Frame

I had seen lots of tutorials for projects like this,

but this was my first time trying it out myself.

I really like how it turned out with the buttons and everything.

I'm also happy to announce that it didn't cost me a dime.

It is made of things that I (or my mom) had lying around the house.

Even better.

Now I want to make one for myself.

Is that wrong?

What projects have YOU been working on?

Happy crafting to all of you.

Love much,

Beth
