Homemade Christmas Gifts: Digital Photo Collage As a Great and Inexpensive Christmas Present


If you are looking for ideas for homemade Christmas gifts, a digital photo collage can be the perfect one. This gift is both personal and decorative. Whether you are making the collage from your home computer or using the assistance of a print shop, a picture collage can make a great gift for a Christmas present.

Digital photo collages make great Christmas gifts because they allow you to gather several pictures together to form a new design. When put together, the pictures occupy less space than they would if they were in separate frames. This helps make them a convenient gift for people who have limited wall space and a personalized gift that anyone can appreciate.

The first step to complete a digital photo collage is to select the pictures you want to use. If you do not have all of the photos in a digital format, you can scan them to turn them into a digital format. Choose pictures that suit the recipient. For example, if the gift is going to a grandmother, use several pictures of her grandchildren. A collection of pictures over the years may be another good idea. If the recipient is a new bride, use a collection of wedding pictures. Also, include pictures of the couple's courtship for a reminder of their pre-marriage relationship. For the adventure seeker, select pictures of various trips and stunts that he completed. Selecting the right pictures can help you make Christmas gifts that are personalized for the recipient.

Next, you will have to decide the dimensions of the collage. You can use an online feature of an online shop or photo editing software to form the shape of the collage. You may want all of the pictures to be the same size for continuity. Another option is to make some pictures larger and more prominent than other pictures. The total dimensions of your collage will depend on whether you are printing it at a print shop or on a home computer. If you are using a home computer, the size will be limited to the constrictions of your home printer. Print shops can print collages that are the size of posters or even larger formats.You may want to keep the photo collage in the digital format so it can be used in a digital picture frame.

Finishing touches include adding a title and a border. Decorative accents can be added to the corners to help make it more glamorous.

If you are using a print shop, look for coupons before making the purchase to save. Some print shops provide coupons each time that you purchase prints. You may also be able to find online promo codes to use during an online checkout with the collage. You may even be able to find a coupon that will allow you to buy one collage and get another free. It should be no problem, especially in Christmas season which is full of different promotions.

A digital photo collage, in my opinion makes one of the best present between homemade Christmas gifts ideas. It is highly personalized, and usually means more than just another tie or a perfume for the recipient.
