Photos - Not just for Walls !

by Bob Salter of Hotrodphotos4u ( 7-Mar-2011 )

OK - You have hundreds of photos -but not enough room on the walls. What to do?? For starters - you can decide on a theme - say "Family". Take your photo files and get something different made - like coasters for the coffee table, mugs for the coffee or hot chocolate, a license plate for that front of your car, key chains, luggage tags, calendars...... you get the idea.

With todays digital technology you can get the neatest things made using your photos for your house, for gifts, fundraising or like me - as extra income to survive! I have some of these items on my website at www.hotrodphotos4u.com Take a look at them.

A couple of rules to remember. Photos of people work better for taller items - and car photos, that fishing boat, etc work better on wider items - better as rectangular shapes. I have sold a lot of coaster sets but it can be hard fitting some photos onto either square or round coasters. You need to experiment. If a customer sends me an order for coasters - I will not process that order unless I feel it "fits" good. I use a Pro lab to do all my photo processing needs - I stay away from 2 hr or same day places. Try your objects around your house first so you know they do hold up - that is very important.

Well - Got to go - Take some pictures and have some fun creating some unique items or gifts.

Thanks !

Bob
