Cropping Images for Photo Jewelry Making

Cropping your image carefully is an important part of photo jewelry making.

Dana Hinders

The first step in photo jewelry making is to use your scrapbook punch to crop your baby photo to the correct size. If you can’t find a punch that matches the size of your photo tile jewelry, use a craft knife or fine tipped scissors to cut the photo to the correct size. Play around with the position to make sure you’ll be pleased with the design of your handmade jewelry.

Attach the image to your photo jewelry charm with double sided tape. Press firmly to make sure the image is adhered properly.
