I have had a lot of questions about how to make the photo strip for this photo ornament.
First I will tell you that I used Photo Shop but I am sure that any photo editing software would work.
1) Make a 6x4 template (make a larger one if you want to make a larger photo ball) 6 width and 4 height.
2) Next, choose your photos. I chose all vertical pictures for mine.
3) Resize your photos to 1.5 inch Height and 1 inch width. Make sure the resolution is 300 dpi.
4) Drag your photos onto your 6x4 template and line them up horizontally from left to right.
5) Once you have them lined up running horizontally on the template,I just (while holding my alt key down) chose them all, linked them and then duplicated them to make more rows . That's the fast way. Otherwise you can just continue to drag the photos to make all rows that will be your photo strips.
6) Once I had my rows of strips I saved it as a jpeg, printed it as a 6x4 landscape photo and then cut my strips.
Here is a screen shot that may be of some help!
I hope that helps for those of you having questions about how to do it. Again, if you want a larger photo ornament, make your template a 10x8 or whatever size you want to work with that is larger than a 6x4. If you are looking for the original tutorial you will find it HERE.
If you don't have the software to make one of your own email me at: kidsmom1999@yahoo.com and I will make you one for $5.00. Just send me the photo you want on it and any wording you would like and I will create and print your ornament and send it to you. All you have to do is put it together!
