Beg with 1st petal beg rolling until rose is formed, tack with needle and thread. Either sew or glue rose to center circle on decorative center just made.
Remove glass from frame, cut a piece of cardboard that fits inside the frame, double-checking to make certain it fits. Carefully staple 3 of the edges of the crochet piece to the very edge of the cardboard, easing in the fullness. Stuff this piece checking several times to make sure you have inserted enough stuffing. Staple the last edge to cardboard. Insert piece into frame as you would for a picture.
The idea behind this was more along the side of recycling than of crochet or gift-jewelry holder. You always see tons of picture frames at grage sales and thrift stores and I was just trying to come up with another use for something so often see and available.
