two questions

1:
So I have these headphones & long story short, they're cheaply made & frayed very quickly. I was thinking of taking off the little doggies (since they aren't glued very securely anyway) & turning them into earrings, but I'm at a loss on how to attach backings. Any ideas?

2:
Also, since I'm in a kind of crafty mood, I have another question. I was out shopping and saw a photo frame with some Halloweeny themed embroidery on it (like very simple. Just "Happy Halloween" and a pumpkin). What would be the best way of going about re-creating it? I wanted to buy it for a friend, but the photo I wanted to put in it isn't the right orientation, which is why I want to re-create it. Should I just get some cloth, embroider it & then glue it to some mat board & put it in the frame?


Sorry, I'm not good at being clear. There was a piece of cloth embroidered in place of the mat, and then that was within a frame

Thanks!
