Once you make a personalized photo throw blanket, give a display ladder as well. This keeps the blankets up off the floor when not in use. The picture can still be displayed on the blanket.
Select photos of special memories or people. For example, family photos, family pets, or family vacation photos. Choose high-resolution photos for the best results.
Photo gifts are always in season! For holidays, photo ornaments and calendars are always popular. Photo blankets and pillows make cozy gifts for birthdays. Canvas prints and photo books are great for anniversaries or other milestons.
Stick to a theme or color scheme. For example, don’t mix vintage black and white photos with modern, colorful ones. Vary the photo sizes for visual interest. to maintain a cohesive look, choose frames with similar styles and/or colors.
