Plastic canvas Photo frame

In one of my previous posts I have shown a cross stitched swans.  U can see it here.  I have created a frame for it so that I can hang it in the wall.  Used plastic canvas and crochet and it is now ready to adorn the wall.  Ta - da - da...

 

In the wall

 

I have used OHP sheet for the front and back of the cross stitched piece.  The orange color portion of the frame is T stitch(needlepoint stitch).  To work up a T stitch u can refer this page. Then  Using sc, hdc, dc and trc' s of crochet I have created the scalloped edge for the frame.  Hope u all like it.  I'll end this post with a close up of the T stitch and scalloped edge.

I have blogged about some more photo frames earlier.  U can view it here.

 

I will come up with one more photo frame in my coming posts.
