craftgrrl | I won two vintagecrotchet throw rugs on ebay, sunbonet sue&Sam what I intend to do with them ,

Is to frame them and present them to my mom for her birthday! I am a bit worried because the guy has some severely poor feed backs in regards to selling things that are ratty and disgusting, or not sending the item at all, but I am keeping a positive mind.

What I had in mind was taking it to a framers at michaels, or doing it at home. If I did it athome how would be best to secure an item like this to the frames backing board? DAd SAys you won't need to frame them just hang them from a rod and they'll be a wall hanger but I want to protect them from dust and dirt an stuff just hanging them from a rod would expose them to.

I've also won other SunBonnet Sue items, and I am going to give some to my mom, and make iron ons out of other imagaes and make tote bags and stuff, Maybe even make mom a SunBonnet Sue T shirt! It all total cost way more than I should of put on the credit card, but Mom's worth it!
