Hey! The handkerchiefs are framed between two pieces of glass. I used small gold frames. The glass was put in place with a hot glue gun. I've had them framed for 14 years and the glue is still in place. They hang on the saw-tooth hangers. One or two, depending on the size. fyi, pick up by the sides with two hands, not one. Depending on the size, you could pop the glue from the glass by picking up with one hand.

The baby dresses and purse were framed in deep frames. I took fabric with me for the back and sides (inside frame). The framing shop mounted the fabric to scrap matting material. Only picture I have online is linked below:

These pictures were taken in our last home. This bride is made of ribbon and lace, sewn to a paper doll. When I purchased, it was in a flat frame. Luckily, it fluffed up a bit. I used left over silk fabric behind this purse. This one is more velvet like, but low pile. They are both in DD1's guest room now.

Thanks. I have lots of those handkerchiefs from my grandmother. Even have the dept store box they came in...Hudson's in Detroit, now gone. I guess I should try to do something with them.
Today I was cleaning out my buffet and found some really nice (old) lacy dresser scarves and put some to use.
I guess it makes it worthwhile to clean once in a while-never know what you'll come across! LOL
Thanks again

Thanks Allison,
They look great.

I brought home my grandmother's handkerchiefs for just such a purpose. I hadn't quite decided how to do it. I thought about doing more of a collage. I like the way you did it.

Thanks, Lisa. I never get tired of seeing them.

I did a collage 15 years ago, but didn't want to use any family things (glue, stain, etc). I used old deeds I purchased at an antique store for their pretty writing, various types of packing paper with interesting textures (tea stained) and the brown background paper is a grocery sack crumpled then rubs with an antiquing glaze. Pictures and postcards purchased also.
