Product Review: Photo Pearls
I remember when I was six, my sister brought home a bag of beads and an assortment of saftey pins. At first I wasn’t sure what she was going to do with them but then she began creating all sorts of beaded pins. I admit that I made my share of pins with her but after a while, I lost interest in the craft. What I didn’t realize, before i lost interest, was that you can make a lot of different things with the beads. I didn’t have to stop with the pins, instead I could have went on to make ornaments, jewlery and even photos.
Yes, you heard me right, photos. It is pretty amazing what you can create with beads these days and all it takes are a few supplies, a little know-how and in regards to photos, a good program.
Which brings me to the product of PhotoPearls. This is actually a pretty interesting program that can give you something completely different when it comes to using beads. With this program, you convert any photograph into a beaded pattern to create with. After that, all you will need to do is use a bead board and then apply an adhesive to the back to create a permanent beaded photograph.
Personally, I think this is a great product since it has an almost puzzle-like quality to it. People can place the beads in the right order to create some pretty amazing crafts and you can have a lot of fun with beads. What is even nicer is that you can print the pattern out on most printers and you can use the finished piece for a variety of crafts.
So if you are interested in beading and want to try something new, I would recommend using PhotoPearls.
