The pet design on an octagonal glass ornament with your photograph. The octagon keeps nearly everything a square keeps while still having a silhouette of its own, which makes it the middle option between a plain tile and a shaped outline.

A Shape Without a Statement

The bone and the paw tell the room what the ornament is about. A square tells it nothing. An octagon sits between: it reads as a deliberate object among the baubles without declaring a species, which suits households with cats, rabbits or several animals of different kinds. It is also the shape to choose when the ornament is going on somebody else's tree and you would rather not impose a dog bone on their decorating.

What It Takes From the Photograph

Only the four corners, which on an animal photograph are floor, grass or sofa. Everything else stays, including the tail and the paws that a circle would remove. For a dog sitting rather than lying, or two animals side by side, this is the shape that keeps them both in the frame and still looks like something.

How It Hangs

Your photo stays in full colour, which is what lets a tabby read clearly as a tabby, stripes, markings and all. Thin glass lets light through, so put a bulb behind the ornament rather than in front of it. The octagon also hangs flat against a branch rather than turning side on, so the picture keeps facing the room instead of showing its edge half the time. A round ornament turns freely and spends a good deal of its time sideways.

Files and Sizes

Dark coated animals need the brightest file you have, taken outdoors or beside a window; our designers will say if the photograph falls below the point where it will hold. The middle size suits a single animal, and the largest is worth taking if there are two of them in the picture, since each one then gets a reasonable share of the glass.

The shapes number seven. Heart, round, square, octagon, bell, bone and paw. Sets are built to your own choice of shapes. The discount runs from 10% at two to 50% at fifteen.

Colour Enhancement is an optional extra, $1.99 per image. Ten per cent off at two, fifty at fifteen.

Pet Photo Glass Octagon Ornament FAQs

You can upload any high-quality image that you’d like to have engraved in your crystal. That could be a favorite family photo or a picture of you and your spouse. It could also be a really great selfie or a picture of your dog. Everyone has unique memories that are special to them, and at ArtPix 3D, we totally get that.

So go ahead! Upload a photo of the llama you saw at the petting zoo, the cactus that poked you on your family vacation, or the treehouse you used to hang out in before it got struck by lightning. Maybe this picture is linked to a significant moment in your life, or maybe it’s part of an elaborate inside joke; either way, we’re happy to engrave it in a custom crystal keepsake that you can treasure forever.

All our crystal items come in a custom black gift box with internal padding, which protects your crystal during shipment, and offers a great way to store your crystal securely when not on display.

Ordering a custom crystal online at ArtPix 3D is easy! You’ll start by selecting a crystal product from our shop. Next, you’ll upload your photo and adjust its position on a template of your crystal shape. Once you’re happy with your preview, you can customize your crystal by choosing your size and writing a note or caption to be engraved below your image. You can also select various add-ons to be included with your order, such as light bases, greeting cards, and a cleaning kit.

When you’re finished, double-check to make sure you’re satisfied with the customization options you selected. Next, check the box that reads “The personalization I entered is correct,” and select Add to Cart.

You’ll have another opportunity to confirm your personalization in your cart. Check your order summary to verify that the size, shape, and orientation (if applicable) of your crystals are correct. You should also proofread any text and make sure your selected add-ons are all present and accounted for. If you enabled ArtPix HD for your photo, your summary should confirm it.

Next, enter your payment and shipping details. If you have a discount code, you can apply it at this stage under Apply Coupon. You can also provide any custom instructions under Order Notes. Finally, select Place Order to finalize your purchase.
