Heart-shaped dog photo earring
Instruction
I wanted to create a way for people to show the love they have for a special person or animal in their life. I thought shrinking a heart shaped picture frame can do that, so they can make it into earrings, a necklace, a charm for a bracelet, or even a keychain.
Step 1. upload xcs file. add in your 3mm basswood, and cut accoring to your settings for cutting 3mm basswood. Mine was %100 Power at 9mm/s. Cut. (42sec) to cut.
Step 2. grab a photo you want to use, and use the hallowed heart to use it as a stencil. the hallowed heart allows you to see how it will look in the end. when satisfied with the placement, you can trace the outside of the heart with a pen or cut with a blade. tracing with a pen will allow you to see where you need to cut when using scissors.
Step 3. (optional) Paint the heart any color you choose. I chose red on front and back, and black on the sides.
step 4. glue the photo to the solid heart, then glue the hallowed heart to the photo.
Step 5. add the jewelry of your choice. I used 6mm round jump ring for the heart, and 21mm short fishhook Earwire i bought from hobby lobby.
Additional note: you can scale this project by highlighting both hearts and shrinking it bigger or smaller depending on your photo and what you want to make it for. (charm, necklace, earring, etc,)
