Making your photographs into wall art

Custom prints
Creating your own custom prints is an excellent way of decorating your home.
If you are into photography and you've got digital photos of landscapes or people, these can be turned into a canvas picture.
You can get your photos printed at specialist stores such as Boots and Jessops. Boots will print your photos onto canvas, with prices starting from just £21.99 (see Boots.com for details).
Snapfish.co.uk also offer digital photo to canvas prints with a digital photo on canvas collage starting at £24.99. Cheap photography sites
Other good cheap photography sites offering photo printing in the UK include Tesco Online Photo Centre (Tescophoto.com) which sells large photo prints and posters, and will also transfer your pictures onto canvas.
London-based company photo-canvas.com is also good, and currently has a "buy 2 get 1 free" offer on digital photo printing on canvas and photo montages.
