Vintage Crafting

Vintage Crafting? If you love vintage, why not incorporate it onto your walls. Check out my inexpensive "faux shadow boxes" below. The thin one is actually a display for a graduation tassel. Ran me $5.00 bucks at a local annual book sale. I removed the back and added packing foam that I glued on to the backing. My vintage Thai Buddhist Amulets were hot glued into place. Voila! Instant vintage art. My two double raised glass picture frames were purchased for $1.50 at a local store. We went on a multi beach excursion this past summer and collected a lot of beach glass, shells, etc. I'll always remember that trip because it's on my wall. Again, I simply removed the backs, added shiny black crafting paper and hot glued beach glass on one and various beach finds on the other. Very easy. Fits in nicely with a vintage or beach theme. The same can be done with vintage jewelry. A nice collection of "not so wearable any more" earrings could be displayed in this fashion. Brooches, or stick pins, are another suggestion. I've recently seen sports tack pins displayed in a wooden frame. Your imagination is your only limit. Don't forget to check out our online vintage shop at http://
