The afghans were BEAUTIFUL!! It was a jaw dropping gift and one that I am sure they won't soon forget.

Chad and Laura - Durham, NC
Thank you so much for the picture blanket. As we were opening gifts after the wedding, the whole family really liked it-very unique. It now lives on our couch and all our guests comment on it.

Lawrence - Silver Spring, MD
The afghan was a smashing success. We had the extended family over for exchanging gifts and everyone was talking about how beautiful it was and what a great idea. Most of them were on the cruise with us so they remembered when the photo was taken and they were amazed at the details in the weaving.

Harrison and LeAnne - Gastonia, NC
“There is no doubt that the picture quilt was the highlight to our day.”

Picture Weave

• COPYRIGHT: Picture cannot be copyrighted or it must have a copyright release from the photographer or studio if even it appears professionally done. In addition, we cannot accept photographs of copyrighted materials, such as theme characters and sports mascots.
  • Click to see Sample Copyright Release from photographer
  • Click to see Concept Seventeen customer permission form
• SIZE: 5 in. x 7 in. minimum, but the larger the photo, the better, up to an 8x10.
• ORIGINAL PICTURE: Please submit a copy of the photograph.
• OLD PHOTOS: We can certainly make your Picture Weave product from any photo however older photographs are not always the best choice. They can be be faded or the color could have changed over time. For best results, pick the clearest, most color-rich photograph you have. Contact us for further information regarding restoration
• BLACK & WHITE PHOTOS: These pictures are fine as well but the finished Picture Weave product will be in Black & White if your photo is in black & white.
• DIGITAL: Use a digital camera with at least 4 mega pixels. Digital pictures are accepted, but make sure the picture is of a minimum 1280 x 960 pixels, between 500 kb - 2 MB, or at least 180 dpi(dots per inch). In this case, it is better to send a larger file as opposed to a smaller file. If in doubt, send the picture to us first and we will tell you whether it is ok, for FREE
• GROUP PHOTOS: You are entitled to have as many people in a photo as you like but remember 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.
• CONTRAST: A high contrast picture works best. If your main subject is brightly lit and the background is somewhat dark, the results will be brilliant!
• FOCUS: Make sure the subject is sharp. The better the picture, the better the finished product.
• DETAIL: Almost every detail, whether good or bad is caught by Picture Weave. For example, if an old picture has a crack in it, that crack will show up in the Picture Weave Product.
• COLOR: Try to choose a picture with realistic coloring because whatever you send is what you will get in the final product .
• COMPOSITION: Keep it simple and make sure the main subject occupies between 60-80% of the photo so that more detail can be seen. This way, colors will also be more vibrant and true-to-life.

By providing us with great pictures, then we are able to provide you with the most amazing finish product. This is a collage photo afghan(throw) and not a picture, see the fringes.
