I'm working on a batch of
bottle caps, so I figured I'd snap some pictures to show you how I prepare my images.
Step 1-Gather your supplies! You will need your trusty
Xyron, (I use the 1.5" with PERMANENT adhesive) scissors, your printed sheets of images, and an 1"
circle punch:

Step 2-Cut your images in long strips like so:

Step 3-Load your strips of paper, one at a time, at the top of your
Xyron:

And slowly pull the strips
thru the bottom of the
Xyron:

Step 4-Rub the layers together, and then peel off the top layer. You will be left with your strip if images on a sticker sheet.
Step 5-Trim the strips of images as close to the image that you can. If you don't, the image will not fit in your punch:

Step 6-Once your images are trimmed, you can line up the image in your circle punch, and PUNCH! I use a
Fiskars Squeeze Punch.

Here are my finished images. Simply peel off the back, and you've got a sticker! These can be used for anything. I use them to make
bottle caps. Try using different shaped punches to make shaped stickers too.
I love Italian charm bracelets! They are an easy (and cheap!!) way to show off a bit of your personality. They make great gifts, too! This starter bracelet is only $7! You can't beat that.
