Re-Vamp a Picture Frame

I'd like to apologize in advance for the crappy pictures. My phone doesn't have the best camera. 
Materials - Frame, beads, fabric
strips, needle and thread. 

Step 1 - Fold a strip of fabric in half.
I pinned it in half so I could take better
pictures. 
Step 2 - Using a running stitch, sew
down the raw edges of the fabric, pulling it
tight occasionally to see how much it will curl. 
Step 3 - When it curls into a full circle, stop sewing. 
step 4 - And cut the extra fabric off. 

Step 5 - Sew the ends together so it is
held in a circular shape. 
Step 6 - Sew a bead in the center.
I used pearl beads(I'm currently in love
with pearls and pearl jewelry). 
Step 7 - Create other flowers of different
shapes and sizes. I cut slits in one to
make it splay out more. 
Step 8 - Figure out how you want the flowers
to go on the frame. I was covering up bite
marks. 
This is the final outcome. I don't have a picture for it yet, so
I drew one of my family :P This is for my mom this mothers' day.
