Repurposing More Jewelry

I inherited a ton of jewelry from my Grandmother that is not my style, but is still very pretty. I have come up with a few ways to use some of it around the house. Here is one of my favorite.

I started with this frame (paint left over from an old unfinished project)

and this pin

I took a piece of paper, balled it up, flattened it back out and sponged some coffee on in, all to make it look like old parchment.

After it dried, I wanted to print some text on it to make it look like an old timey letter.  I did a lot of Googling, and had no luck. I finally just Googled old handwriting or something like that and came up with.... the Declaration of Independence. I cropped it a ton, so that the words wouldn't be super super tiny.

I cut out the paper the size of the frame and opening, and Mod Podged it on. It is not as shiny as it looks in the picture, blame that on a cheap camera.

After that, I just glued on the pin, and I have a nice decoration that I think I'll hang on the wall beside my stairs :)
