Ordering your custom project is simple. Follow the easy steps below.
You can use any photo you'd like - but remember that the better the photo, the better the finished product. Photos must be in digital format to send via email. We have a few suggestions, listed below:
- SIZE: For digital photographs, please make sure that they were taken by a 1 megapixel or better camera.
- CONTRAST: A high contrast photo works the best. A black dog on a black couch in a dark room will not yield the best results. Conversely, a white dog in the snow will not work well, either. If your main subject is brightly lit and the background is somewhat dark, the results will be brilliant! Please avoid dark shadows on the face or subject.
- FOCUS: Make sure your subject is sharp. The better the focus, the better the final piece will be.
- COLOR: We can use black and white or color.
- COMPOSITION: Keep it simple. Make sure that your subject occupies 60-80% of the photo. This is not an absolute necessity, but it will make for a better finished piece.
Creative cropping of your photo will result in a better composition, and ultimately, a better finished piece.
  
Scan your photo to make it into digital format or you can upload your digital photo directly. Crop and rotate it and make sure that the dimensions are correct then -
Send your digital photos by email to:
All custom products are 100% cotton, and highly durable. The colors won't fade like printed materials, but we do suggest that you machine wash on gentle or hand wash, and tumble dry on low. You can expect a lifetime of beauty and vibrant colors from your custom heirloom.

Custom made afghan $78.00
Choose a photo with good focus and high contrast. A white subject on a white background will not yield the best product, nor will dark on dark. We will do minimal color correction where obviously needed, but it is always best to send a good, crisp photo. We may need to crop your photo to best achieve a proportion of 8x10.
For digital photographs, please make sure that the photo is of reasonably high resolution, as a photo that is too small will result in a muddy, low resolution end product. We suggest a minimum of 1280x960 pixels, or roughly 1 megapixels.
Any photograph taken by a professional photographer cannot be reproduced without written permission from the photographer. We cannot accept photographs of copyrighted materials, such as theme characters and sports mascots.
Please be sure to read our Disclaimers and liability statement before you complete your order
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q: What photos can I use?
A: Any photo you like! There are a few guidelines we'd like to offer, though.
- High contrast - a nice, high contrast photo will always work best. If there is a good deliniation between lights and darks, good detail in the subject and a balance in contrast, your blanket or wall hanging will turn out beautifully.
- Large Subject Matter - if your subject matter (a person, a pet, a building, etc) takes up the majority of the photo, you will be able to see more detail and the colors will be more vibrant and true-to-life. If the subject is too small, you might consider cropping the photo so that the subject takes up roughly 60-80% of the image.

- Color - try to choose a photograph with realistic coloring. If the face in the photograph is bright pink, chances are that your PortraitWeave product will not look as realistic as you hope. Try to pick a photo with good skin tones, nice colors and one that is not too faded or old. Remember, while we will do some minor color correction and tone enhancements, what you send is what you will receive. The better and more realistic your photo is, the happier you will be with the finished product.
- Old Photos - while we can certainly make your PortraitWeavers product from any photo, older photographs are not always the best choice. They can be faded or the color can change over time. For best results, pick the clearest, most color-rich older photograph you have.
- Focus - please make sure that the photo you send is in focus. We can do minimal sharpening, but a crisp photo will always work best
- Black & White Photos - we can create your PortraitWeavers product from a black and white photo. No problem!
Q: What about Digital Photography?
A: No problem! You can send your camera files to us directly. We recommend that you use at least a 2 megapixel camera or higher. If you send as a JPEG, please make sure to use minimal compression. If you over-compress, the image will be blurry and pixelated. It is better to send a larger file as opposed to a smaller file. Please follow the above suggestions, as it will help yield the best finished piece.
Q: How many people/pets/buildings can I have in my photo?
A: You can have as many as you'd like, but remember that the smaller the detail, the less likely it is to show up in a woven piece. A blanket with a couple of large faces will yield higher detail in those faces compared to a photo with 10 people in it.
Q: How long will it take?
A: 4-6 weeks. Often, much faster. A lot of that depends on the time of year and the number of orders we have.
Q: Are these products printed?
A: No! These products are jacquard woven, 100% cotton. Never printed.
Q: Will the images and colors fade?
A: No! The images are woven of 100% cotton, so they will never fade - even after repeated washings.
Q: Are these products washable?
A: Absolutely. Our products are machine washable. We recommend cold water and tumble drying on the lowest setting.
