Handmade Gift: Grandma Photo Bracelet Tutorial -- learn how to make mom or grandma a great handmade photo charm bracelet with this super simple tutorial.

Supplies needed to make your own handmade gift:

Frame Charms (I used 6 of these or two packs)
Printed Pictures
craft knife
Mod Podge
Mod Podge Dimensional Magic
Toggle and Closure Set
Silver Jump Rings
3 in 1 Jewelry Pliers

Measure your frame charms and print your pictures to the approximate correct size. Trim away excess paper. I printed my pictures on regular copy paper using the highest quality setting on my printer.

Push the picture into the frame with your finger.

Use the craft knife to mark all around the outside edge. Do not try to cut all the way through the picture at this point.

Remove from the frame and use either the craft knife or scissors to trim all the way around the picture. Test and make sure it will fit properly into your frame.

Adhere the photos to the frames using Mod Podge. Be sure to coat the top of the picture very well. Allow to dry completely.

Add a coat of Mod Podge Dimensional Magic and allow to dry completely. Use your pliers to add jump rings in between the frames.

Using jump rings, add the toggle and closure to the ends of the bracelet.

Your handmade gift is now complete! A wonderful photo charm bracelet to give to mom or grandma or anyone else on your gift giving list. Who would you give this great handmade gift to? Can you think of other pictures to add to the frames instead of kids? Maybe vacation destinations? Or flowers? Let your imagination run wild.Have you missed any of our handmade gift series?
