Convertible 4x3 Photo Frame Jewelry Pin Ornament
The picture frame is BACK! Whether you want paper card stock or fabric photo frames, I have invented a way for the strut leg to be attached by Velcro, removable, to insert a bar style metal brooch pin back, or hang as an ornament for Christmas or any holiday, anywhere! Printed on one sheet, on either card stock OR washable, colorfast, inkjet printer fabric - and yes, the fabric photo frame is WASHABLE, just remove the pin, the photo, and its protective, clear sleeve, an acid free, sheet protector page, cut to the size of the photo. Then place the frame and strut leg with ribbon attached, inside a lingerie bag, place in the delicate cycle of your washer, using mild detergent like Woolite or Dollar Store Wool Wash, no fabric softener, then place or stand on a towel to air dry.
The photo is 2x3", the size printed by the new instant print cameras and smartphone devices out on the market, from Prynt, HP Sprocket, Polaroid Snap, or Instax Mini.

Washable, Inkjet Printer Fabric
All 6 panels are printed onto one sheet of June Tailor brand, WASHABLE, colorfast, meaning it won't fade easily, inkjet printer fabric sheet 8 1/2" x 11". The package is labeled with a California Proposition 65 warning label. I'm leaving it up to the customer to decide between the June Tailor brand, and the Prym Dritz Printed Treasure brand of washable, inkjet printer fabric. June Tailor, allows for the color and design to be more defined and the color more saturated, the details print clearer, very brilliant. The other brand, Printed Treasures by Dritz Sewing / Prym, is not so brilliant, with a lighter saturation in color. Both are cotton, and cotton has a tendency of not printing designs so saturated and detailed, but the June Tailor brand seems to be coated, with a more saturated print.
Wood Print
The wood print is a design inspired by French oak grain patterns in wine barrels, using the neutral brown color family of dark chocolate brown, cream, tan, and light brown. If you look close, it looks like Edvard Munch's "Scream" face, but I didn't plan on that lol.
None
Do not add this option to the product.
CHOKING HAZZARD - Please keep metal brooch pin back out of reach of children. Please keep removable strut leg, and acid free photo pocket protective sleeve out of reach of children. Please keep unattached length of ribbon out of reach of children. If selecting washable, colorfast, inkjet printer fabric, manufactured by June Tailor, please keep away from reproductive areas of the body, as their is a California proposition 65 warning. For Prym washable, inkjet printer fabric or paper card stock, there are NO warnings for any supplies used, except for sharp objects like metal brooch pin backs, and the photo or clear, acid free, sheet protector photo pocket sleeve can give you a paper cut.
The picture frame is BACK! Whether you want paper card stock or fabric photo frames, I have invented a way for the strut leg to be attached by Velcro, removable, to insert a bar style metal brooch pin back, or hang as an ornament for Christmas or any holiday, anywhere! 6 panel parts printed on one sheet, on either card stock OR washable, colorfast, inkjet printer fabric - and yes, the fabric photo frame is WASHABLE, just remove the pin, the photo, and its protective, clear sleeve, an acid free, sheet protector page, cut to the size of the photo. Then place the frame and strut leg with ribbon attached, inside a lingerie bag, place in the delicate cycle of your washer, using mild detergent like Woolite or Dollar Store Wool Wash, no fabric softener, then place or stand on a towel to air dry.
The photo is 2x3", the size printed by the new instant print cameras and smartphone devices out on the market, from Prynt, HP Sprocket, Polaroid Snap, or Instax Mini.
These frames are great for party favors for wedding receptions, baby & bridal showers, or events, as invites, an alternative to an invitation or greeting card, just insert your message, or I can print it for you on a 2x3" insert for an extra charge, personalized to your liking, even with some art motif element. You can use these for table place card frames for name place cards, or table number place cards. You can add art, a poem, words of wisdom, a saying, or any text. You can embellish your gifts with them, or use them as gift tags, as well.
The frame stands, even with the brooch pin back attached. The frame consists of 6 panel parts, that I print onto one 8 1/2" x 11" sheet of card stock or washable, colorfast, inkjet printer fabric. Those parts are the frame front with the design printed on it, that connects to panel 2, the inside 2nd frame front, that connects to panel 3, the inside facing easel back panel, connected with ribbon thread through 7 u shape holes that make the photo pocket. Panel 3 is attached to panel 4, the easel back panel facing out with the design printed on it, and 2 strut leg panels, one with the design printed and aligned to match the easel back panel, that is bendable, with Velcro on the back strut leg panel on top, a ribbon sandwiched between the bottom right corners of the strut leg panels, that's tail is folded in twice, with hook Velcro attached to connect to the bottom right corner of the easel back's loop Velcro. Loop Velcro is attached on the easel back panel to connect the strut leg panels. All panels have seam allowances folded under. Velcro can be attached at the top between panels 2 & 3 for the photo pocket closure, so your photo doesn't fall out, if you are wearing the frame as a brooch or badge, if you bend over.
Yes, not only does the frame front have a design printed, but so do the easel back & strut leg with coordinating or matching and aligned pattern prints. I figured that the back of the frame should look as good as the front.
I've been making fabric photo frames, now washable, sewn & no sew, plus other products like brooch jewelry, ornaments, and other items, so I figured why not combine the 3 into one!
