how do you get a picture little enough for a locket?

I usually cut the face out of the picture I want to use.  I have also thought of using one off the index card they give you with your prints.

how big is the locket? Some places (I think CVS and walgreens do it) will let you order custom sized photos and you can get smaller ones. I haven't had a locket in forever, but I did that and trimmed it down to what I needed.

If you've got photoshop or paintshop, you can go in and put a white or black mat around the picture so that when you send it through to be printed it doesn't blow the picture up to a full size.  You'd make an all black 4x6 image and then drag/merge  your locket image into it.  Then resize the locket image to the size you're needing.  My laptop won't run my photoshop or I'd offer to do it for you.

THIS!  DH got me a locket for Christmas but I haven't had the time to figure it out.  I figured I'd get wallet size pics ordered from CVS or Walgreens and then cut it down to size...I'll let you know if I figure it out!

I'd probably crop it to the image that I wanted and then use photoshop or something at home.

It is tiny.  It is a circle, maybe a half an inch wide.  I need to measure it.  Thanks for the suggestions everyone.  I may try CVS or walgreens.  I would have no idea how to do it myself.

I've used Microsoft word before to make a really small print.  If you paste the picture into a word doc, you'll be able to adjust the size.  Then print on photo paper on your home printer.  Much cheaper and still decent quality.  Good luck

I would suggest photoshop. I think places that can print pictures out could size them for you too...like Sam's Club or Target.

I have one for my fur-baby that passed away. I googled locket size pictures and ordered in online. I think it was about $7.00 and I got 3 differesnt sizes. Two of them worked perfectly. Good luck!
