Photos in glass ornaments

[Christine Johnson]

I love all the glass ornaments and have already made a few. My daughter got married Nov. 13th, and I was thinking it would be great to make one of these ornaments for the newlyweds with their picture on the transparency. I haven't a clue if this is possible. My printer isn't the greatest for printing photos...should I take it to Kinkos for them to do? Would that be really expensive?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks

I was stamping with a friend and she put one of her daughter in on. I think if it were printed on lighter weight paper it would be easier to put into the ornament because regular photo paper is really heavy and has a tendency to crack if you are too aggresive with it. So if you can print it on lighter weight paper or take it somewhere that can it would definately be a really cool gift! Good luck and let us know how you make out with it.

I've done the picture on the transparency and they don't last. It looks pretty for one year, but when I took the ornaments out the next year, the picture had gotten all blurry...I used an Epson Photo printer and ink jet transparencies and it still degraded over time.
