Welcome to my one of my craft/hobby that I have done. These are easy to make. Photos with good contrast show best. All my photos are scanned, cropped. lightened if needed, filed. Photos should be cropped if necessary for best results. Here are some available colors and combinations that I used for pcphoto frames or pc coasters as suggestions:
Light Blue Pearl, Silver, Pink, and white for any Baby Photos.
Gold, Lilac Pearl (or Lavender), Red, Blue Pearl and white for a rich look.
Kelly Green, Lemon Yellow, Sweet Potato and white for an Autumn look.
Raw Sienna, Ecru, Gold, Black and white for a Tiger with stripes effect.
Lavendar, Black, Silver and white for a very Elegant look.
Kelly Green, Royal Blue, and Red Pearl and white for a Bright Fun Sports look.
Turquoise, Lt. Blue Pearl, Silver, Kelly Green and white for a Cheerful look.
Now these are only examples, of course, you can choose your own combinations.
You will have to invest in supplies and your time to make them. Completion for me, depends upon my time load but usually in a day or two to allow for decoupaging to dry, if I have the supplies and the time. I put strong magnets on the photomagnets so they won't slide down with a very strong glue. All coasters I may put felt dots on the bottom for protection and/or a glaze coating may be put on to make it washable. Below are some suggestions for sizes:
Marblized frame or CandyCane frames
1 Medium Magnet approx. 2 1/2" x 3" or so, depending on the photo after it is cropped.
PC coffee coasters take a lot longer so you put your own price on in what you feel is right.
Please keep in mind that they are one-of-a-kind and unique! People will like them.
If you do create your own pc photo magnets or pc coasters, please give me credit and note the following:
