Welcome to the sixth A Homemade Christmas! This is week Six of Ten (you don’t have to enter in each one). I hope you’ll join us in sharing about homemade gifts that you have received or made — past, present, and future!
You can click here for the Introductory post.

Here is an idea for a vintage locket. I just purchased this little locket, which was on clearance. It is new, but had been given a vintage look by distressing.

The photos I placed in the locket are of my great-great-great grandparents James and Elizabeth who lived in the late 1800′s. Both of the pictures are of them, only many years had elapsed between the taking of the first and the taking of the second.

This is what the outside of the locket looks like. It has a lovely floral design with a small speckled texture.

If you make one, you can add few ribbons or lace for extra beauty. The locket can be worn as a necklace (on a chain) or as a broach (by adding a pin to the ribbons).

Have you made or received any homemade gifts? If you’d like to make a post about your homemade gifts, you can sign Mr. Linky below. You can add one of my Homemade Christmas icons to your blog by clicking here. Each Thursday (until the end of December) there will be A Homemade Christmas post! Hope you’ll join in the fun as we learn, inspire, and encourage one another!
