Fun Fall Project Idea 

Here's a fun Halloween photo project: Take a photograph of your Jack-O-Lantern, crop in a square right around the pumpkin, then turn it into fun magnets, buttons, stickers, ornaments, ect. Any round item works well! (See example pictures below).

Here's some sites where you can make:
Round Buttons and Magnets: Arts Cafe, CafePress, Zazzle
Round Stickers: Zazzle
Round Mousepads: Arts Cafe
Round Coasters: Arts Cafe
Round Ornaments: Arts Cafe, CafePress
Round Keychains: Zazzle, Arts Cafe
Watches: Arts Cafe

FUN TIP: Photoshop Editing for Classic Art Coloring 

If you happen to have Adobe Photoshop, you may want to check out this article by James Delaney on how to improve the color of your pictures using the "Match Color" tool with classic artwork. It's really quite amazing what you can do with this!

Calendar Price Comparison 

Here's a quick comparison of the price of a single standard size wall calendar, plus shipping. The following are the sites I'm familiar with which sell calendars, ordered from cheapest to most expensive. The price listed is the regular price and does not reflect any discounts or sales happening right now (though if you scan this page you may be able to find some!).

The shipping price listed reflects the lowest available shipping cost for shipping one calendar (if you want it there quicker, you'll pay more). Some places also offer discounts when you buy more than one, and of course different places offer different layouts, printing quality, and other features, so you may not want to choose by price alone.

TIP: Save in Bulk

Many custom gift stores offer discounts when you buy duplicate custom gifts. So, buying the same gift for several people can save you a lot--depending on where you shop!

Fun Project Idea 

In association with Zazzle.com In association with Zazzle.com In association with Zazzle.com
You don't have to limit yourself to photos. Children's artwork looks great on custom items, and makes wonderful gifts for family and friends. Scanning your kids artwork gives the best results, but if you don't have access to a scanner you can take a close-up picture with your camera. (Examples above from Zazzle.com ...click on pictures to visit contributor's store).

Back to School Photo Projects 

#1: Family Picture
Send a little of yourself to school with your child! You can make stickers with family pictures and stick them on the inside of your child's notebook or lunchbox, or make a picture key chain and attach it to her back-pack. There are many places to buy custom photo stickers, including Snapfish, Zazzle, and Kodak Gallery. You can find key chains at various sites including Photoworks and Zazzle (see examples of Zazzle's custom borders below--you can search under templates to find lots more!). Discount Photo Gifts also offers luggage tags, which are a fun alternative!

#2: School Calendar
Make a calendar! Many shops allow you to start your calendar on any month you choose, so you create calendar that starts right now to record all those school events (in stead of having to write them down again in January). Plus, these can be decorated with your own photos or your child's artwork! Very cool!

#3: Fun-Raiser
Need a school fund-raiser? CafePress,Zazzle, Spreadshirt and many other print on demand services offer free shops where you can sell your own custom printables. You can sell t-shirts, cards, mugs, mousepads and more with your school mascot or student art, without having to pay for anything up front because items are only printed once customers order them!

TIP: Shop Early to Save on Shipping

Customized photo gifts make great presents--but remember that they can take longer to process than pre-made gifts, so check shipping times and don't wait until the last minute to order!
