I made this pin and put Mary in the charm, Back in the old days they would take photos of the love one for the inside and place a lock of hair , first communion medal , holy medals , or prayer beads. And placed On the back a prayer card or tribute. I used my parents cards from the funeral home. I took apart the left hand side and used the cardboard insert inside and placed a small bit of fiber stuffing {like used for stuffing teddy bears} and covered the board with yellow felt, I didn’t have any velvet.made a brooch to place in it.
then I added the photo of Mary to the right side and put the glass back on it, and glued my trinkets to the glass with E600 glue
Painted the outline braid on the frame GOLD.. and some of the words metals were silver so O painted them gold, to match.
Painted the outline gold,and Cut the large square triangle into corner pieces and glued on.And added the key for center …
