How to Make Cabochons for Use in Beadwork 

Glad I could help!

Photo paper. Sorry for late response.

I apologize for the late response. I print them on photo paper. I mostly have them printed at Walgreens photo. The photo paper gives a better quality image. Printing on my printer at home with regular paper has a more dull and darker look. I have been printing some graphics for buttons recently, and sent them to be printed at Office Depot printing. I select 28# paper. They usually have coupons and they print them pretty quickly. I have found that they are better quality prints than at home. And I print them on 8.5x11 size.

I think they are asking how do you get the circular images? Google? And then how do you turn them into little circles?

I design them using InDesign. In Word, go to Layout/Size/scroll to find 4 x 6. Set margins to narrow. Then start making circles by going to Insert/Picture. Then crop to shape - oval. Click crop again and find the corner of the circle, and move it until it is 1' x 1'. Then, move your photo to where you want it to fit. You might have to hold on the shift button while you are adjusting the size of the photo (inside crop marks), so it won't get distorted. I hope this helps. Sorry for the late response. I didn't get a notification of comments.

I make them with Adobe InDesign using my photos. These were printed on 8x10, but I've also created 4x6 sizes also. Sorry for the late reply...just saw your comment. Thank you for the questions!
