| Unfortunately,
creating kaleidoscopes yourself can be time-consuming (if
not bewildering.) You probably know the process:
1. Determine how many copies of your photo are needed (based
on the number of "pie wedges" you want in your kaleidoscope.)
2. Find a lab that understands what you are talking about
when you ask for half of those copies to be printed as reverse
images.
3. Make another trip to the photo lab to pick up your copies.
4. Determine what portion of the photo you want to use for
the kaleidoscope and draw the cutting lines. (Even if you
have a kaleidoscope template, you have to make sure it's lined
up exactly the same on each photo.)
5.When cutting each photo, make sure that the lines are perfectly
straight so that you don't end up with any gaps in seams of
your kaleidoscope.
6. Put the pieces together and hope that you like the result!
Whew! Is it any wonder that most people don't
include kaleidoscopes in their scrapbooks? It's a shame though,
because kaleidoscopes add a unique dimension to scrapbooks.
Kaleidoscopes are like snow flakes. No two are ever alike
- even when they are made from the same photo!
At Lotus Flower Imaging Solutions, we never
tire of creating custom kaleidoscopes using your photos! We've
turned in our rulers, protractors, templates, craft knives,
multiple photo copies and glue for a computer. Let us create
the masterpiece you envision but don't have the time to create!
All you have to
do (as a minimum) is send us the photo(s) you want to use,
give us a general description of what part of the photo you
want to be sure is included in the kaleidoscope, as well as
what the final size should be, and we'll do the rest! You
can optionally give us special instructions for the type of
edge you want on your kaleidoscope and whether you want any
special twirl effects or lettering
added. We'll mail your completed kaleidoscope back to you
within a week. No rulers, templates, no cutting, no seams
in the final product - and best of all, no
frustration! It's that simple!
