5 Ways to Turn Your Snaps into Keepsakes
21st September 2016
Nowadays everyone has their smartphone to capture memories. You can share them online and send them to your friends, but then you forget about them as they are just sleeping somewhere amongst a pile of snaps on your phone. Photographs remind us of the best, the cutest & even the worst moments.
Why not transfer these snaps into nice memorable keepsakes? Here are a few ideas to turn these photos into nice keepsakes.
1. Poster Prints
Maybe the most common & old school keepsake idea, but here it is...The Poster Print! They bring something special to your room, & your home. Personalised posters are so ‘in’, you get the feeling you’re a star, hanging on the wall.
Our posters can be printed in many sizes:
2. Canvas
You have the feeling your place is missing something, and you’re looking for a print to hang on those empty walls? Transform your home into a Gallery with personalised canvases. Why not print out some of your best summer holiday snaps onto a canvas, to make you feel better when you’re all snuggled up in winter. You snap, we print! We have really amazing prices too, as our canvases start at €39.99. So get creative, and customise your home!
Tips for canvases as well as Poster Prints:1. Before ordering, think about where you would put your poster/canvas. Be aware of the colour in the room and the space you have.
2. Make sure the resolution is picture perfect. Avoid blurry or pixelated canvases by picking the best quality. Ideally a resolution should be between 180 DPI and 240 DPI. Anyway we will let you know if your picture has a ‘poor quality’ when you upload it.
3. Edit your photo to suit your tastes. Add filters, change colours, brightness, etc. Why not make your snap look vintage after all; you design it the way you want! This is a piece of art not just a photo!
3. Make a Photo Collage
Capture emotions by displaying not just one picture, but a collage of several pictures to create your own work of art! A bit like the old school collage we used to do on our walls as teens, or even like the Instagram collage, except for these are printed out! Sometimes you like a few pictures but can’t seem to put your finger on your absolute favourite, well collage gives you the possibility to pick a selection rather than just one. Go for the simple or the scattered collage, depending on your mood. Capture those special moments with a Photo Collage today as little as €3.99.
Tips:1. Pick a theme, or a specific period in time.
2. Try and make the colours work together avoiding too many different colours.
3. Add cool filters to your pics, and maybe some comments (date, where, whom).
4. Mobile and tablet covers
How cool would it be to have your own picture on your phone cover? You will stand out with and all your friends will want the same! Also, you get to keep your favourite picture with you all the time, cause we all know we never leave the house without our beloved phone. Why not create our own Mobile & Tablet cover now?
Tips:
1. Make sure to pick a picture you really love because you will have to see it every single day. On the other hand, if you get bored with it you can always create another one.
2. A portrait picture is better that in landscape mode, as you hold your phone upwards and not sideways usually.
5. Placemats & Coasters
Custom print your gorgeous memories on coasters & placemats. Place them all around your house, on your tables. Revive your morning with a cuppa, and a personalised coaster. We promise on a bad day it will cheer you up! Nothing Tea and a custom coaster can’t fix!
