Preparing Your Picture

First, ensure your picture is small enough to fit through the ornament's opening. You can trim it to size or use a small photo from a photo booth. If your picture is too large, you can also use a photo editing software to resize it.

Filling the Ornament

Carefully insert your picture into the ornament using the funnel if provided. If not, you can use a pair of tweezers or carefully roll the picture and insert it that way. Once the picture is inside, you can add other fillings like glitter or confetti if desired.

AD

Gently shake the ornament to ensure your picture is well-positioned and the fillings are evenly distributed. Then, securely close the ornament.
