Quick answer

For a successful custom pet ornament, start with a front-facing, high-resolution photo of your pet, double-check the name spelling, and pick a glitter color that complements your holiday decor.

Why the photo quality matters

The ornament artist creates a custom outline drawing from your pet's photo. A blurry or low-resolution image can result in a less accurate silhouette, so choose a clear, well-lit picture where your pet is facing forward.

If your pet is mostly one color, a photo with good contrast helps the outline stand out. Avoid group shots or busy backgrounds that might confuse the outline.

Choosing the right glitter color

The ornament is handmade with your choice of glitter color. Think about where you'll display it: classic silver or gold works with most tree themes, while a bright pink or blue can add a playful pop.

If the ornament is a memorial piece, a subtle color like pearl or soft blue might feel more appropriate. The catalog offers a variety of options, so take a moment to match the color to the ornament's purpose.

Spelling and personalization

You can include your pet's name on the ornament. Since this is a handmade item, there's no easy way to fix a typo after production. Spell-check the name before submitting, and consider adding a middle name or nickname if it fits.

The name is part of the custom outline design, so keep it short enough to be readable. Longer names may be abbreviated or placed below the outline.

Decision rules for ordering

  • Photo must be front-facing and high-res: Upload a clear, well-lit photo where your pet faces the camera. Avoid group shots or blurry images. A poor photo can't be fixed after production.
  • Double-check the name spelling: Spell-check your pet's name before submitting. Consider abbreviations for very long names.
  • Choose a glitter color that fits your display: Match the color to your tree theme or the ornament's purpose (e.g., memorial vs. playful). Classic colors are versatile; bright colors stand out.
