The project uses Cabone Rings. I know what you are thinking, I didn't know what they were either. They are just plastic rings found in a typical craft section. For myself, I was unable to locate them in my local craft store. So what does any crafter do, they improvise, of course.

Pretty As a Picture Crochet Frames. Find a cup or something round that is about 2" diameter. Place the cup or object over the cardboard and trace around it. Then, you will, by hand, roughly sketch another ring about ¼" thick from the outside edge of the circle. The crochet will cover slight imperfections if you are not completely round.

Print your pictures in a square if you can or just take an existing photograph and trace a circle over it. The size of the square we used was 2" x 2". We did this on Photoshop.
