DIY Memory frame for flowers (pic)

[StephanieMN]

Jean M offers a great frame that you can add to your bouquet but I just can't imagine dropping $24 plus shipping ( I need 2) So I started looking into making my own.

I will give you all some details just incase you want to make your own.

 

 

Here is the end product. One photo is of my father who passed away when I was 17 and the other is Chris' brother who died in a car crash when he was very young

 

The frames that are sold specifically for this purpose cost more than buying just this simple bracelette. I pulled the frames apart. They are made by blue moon beads and you may be able to find them for cheaper than I could. I got these at Michaels.

Then there was the extra loop left at the bottom so I took a wire cutter and trimmed it and then had to file it a little to get rid of the extra metal

This is what they look like close up

 

This is the final product:
