Supplies for Making Photo Charms

Photo charms are a great addition to any charm bracelet. You can also make beautiful necklaces with photo charms. You will need the following six items to make photo charms.
  1. Frames

    • Photo charm frames are small frames that you will use to put your photos in. These can be purchased online or at your local craft store. There are various shapes and designs to choose from.

    Photos

    • You will need photos that are small enough to fit inside the charm frame. You can also cut out areas of larger photos in order to fit them into the photo charms.

    Scissors

    • Have a good pair of household scissors on hand in case you need to trim your photos or if you plan on cutting them out.

    Adhesive

    • Adhesive is a substance that bonds things together, such as glue. Most photo charm frames are made out of metal, so you will need an adhesive that is strong enough to keep the photo on the metal.

    Diamond Glaze

    • Diamond glaze is a clear adhesive that you will put over the photo once you have it in the frame to give it a behind-the-glass look. This glaze will also help seal and protect your photos.

    Small Paintbrush

    • You will need a very small paint brush to paint the diamond glaze on over the photo.
