A Photo Blankets is a large flat, rectangular piece of sheer fabric displaying photos, images, or other design, usually with no borders, usually in the form of a quilt or blanket, usually designed to be a decorative accessory or as a gift. Historically, photo blankets were typically made from thick, soft textured fabric portraying people, places, or objects meant to tell a story. They have evolved over the years to become more contemporary. Often they are designed to match any decor or theme in a room. Some photo blankets feature different colored and patterned patterns, while others are monochromatic.
The main characteristic of photo blankets is that they are typically made up of a large rectangle fabric stretched over several smaller squares of different size and width. Each square is usually either printed with an image or simply printed with a photograph. The fabric is then bound together with a quilting or other decorative stitching. Most photo blankets are hand-sewn, but it is also possible for machine-sewn blankets to be produced. It is not uncommon for custom-made photo blankets to be created, sometimes using photos from one's own collection or from a photographer's studio.
A blanket can be used in a variety of ways. In the simplest way it can simply be used to cover an entire wall. In fact, this is commonly done on the wall of a living room. When the blanket is placed on a table it can add interest to an otherwise plain background. A photo blanket could be used to create a center piece in the family room or dining room.
Another way in which photo blankets can be used is by placing them in a closet or under a couch. It is common for families to use a photo blanket as the cover for the family photo album. It allows the family to keep track of each other and share memories. In fact, a photo blanket may be the family's best kept family heirloom. This is especially useful for children as the blanket can be passed down from generation to generation.
Children can also make use of a photo blanket to make crafts such as collages or crafts that are meant to be displayed in their room. The blanket may be used as the base for a picture frame or as well. The blanket can be used to make a frame in which a photo of a child's favorite toy or favorite cartoon character can be hung. This blanket can also be used to hold a scrapbook page or calendar so that family members can remember special occasions throughout the year.
Photo blankets are a versatile gift idea that anyone will love to receive. From baby blankets to craft blankets, photo blankets are a great choice for any budget.
