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.
Crochet Pretty as a Picture Frame Pattern
I considered the usage of the ring and realize it’s more decorative than a stiff poster board like a cereal box would suffice. So I made my own rings. Here’s below on how I did that:
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 1/4″ thick from the outside edge of the circle. The crochet will cover slight imperfections if you are not completely round.Pretty As a Picture Crochet Frames. Cut out of the rings from the cardboard, including the centrepiece.Pretty As a Picture Crochet Frames. Using the ring to trace the circle before you crochet over it will help you get the right size of your picture. 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.Pretty As a Picture Crochet Frames. Once you cut out the picture, you glue the back of the frame and place the photograph over the glue to hold.Pretty As a Picture Crochet Frames. My family.
