Photo Charm Bracelet – Uniquely Yours
Making a charm bracelet is fairly simple, you buy a bracelet and you buy charms and add the charms to the bracelet. Making a photo charm bracelet is a little more involved than that, however. You will need to buy or print photos in just the right size to fit little photo frame charms, add the photo to the frame, and then add the charm to the bracelet. The end result is a photo charm bracelet that was very much worth the extra effort.
Charm bracelets have seemed a thing of the past for some time now, but they are making their way back into style in a big way. The more personal and unique a charm bracelet is, the better it is and the more attention it will draw. There can be nothing more personal and unique than a photo charm bracelet.
You can add any photo you want to a charm bracelet. Many people add photos of their loved ones, their children, spouses or lovers, parents or grandparents. Some people put the whole family tree on their photo charm bracelet. Others have a photo charm bracelet full of their pets' photos. Some might put their vacation photos or even pictures of their favorite celebrities (very popular for young girls).
To make a photo charm bracelet you will first need all of the appropriate supplies. You will need the bracelet. For a photo charm bracelet you may want to use a bit thicker chain because the photo frame charms are a little larger than most charms and a little heavier. You will need the charms, which are small frames, to put your photos in. You'll need the attacher rings and any separator charms you want. And you'll need the tiny photos and the adhesive to apply them to the frame charms.
How do you get the tiny photos? If you have computer software that will reduce the size of photos you can try to use it. The problem with this approach is that it is very time consuming. You will need to do it on a trial and error basis, continuously adjusting the photo and printing it until you get it just right. This can be expensive because you will use a lot of ink and photo paper, and it might never be just right. With many photo manipulation software, the more you manipulate the size of a photo, the more distorted it will become.
There is software that you can purchase specifically for the use of making photo charm bracelets that will perfectly adjust your photos to the sizes of the frames on the first try. This type of software is often available with a photo charm bracelet kit; so that you have everything you need all at once. You just supply the photos and you will soon have your own unique, personalized photo charm bracelet.
