Expert Answer

Applications like Photoshop can help you shrink down the picture to the size of your locket. From there, you can cut it out.

Question

Is there any way I can keep the photo in there without gluing it?

Community Answer

Most lockets have bits on the side that help the picture from falling out, but if that doesn't work, use a tiny amount of glue tack.

Question

My locket has a space for two photos, but it's heart-shaped, which makes it harder to make the photo exact. How can I make sure the photo fits the locket edges precisely?

You could take a scrap piece of paper and trace around the frames, then use that as your guide.

Question

What if I want to use a full picture?

Community Answer

If you want to use a full picture, it will have to have a fairly large image on it or it will be too blurry to see once it's shrunk down into the locket. For example, a portrait of someone's face would be a good choice, but a large group photo would not.

Question

I have an oval locket. How do I do it?

Community Answer

It would be best to use the first method for that. For example, trace the empty space of the locket inside, then put the traced paper on the image (I recommend a face). Then cut out the image, place it in the locket, and done!
