Photo Blankets..

*pepe — Sun, 14 Jul 2013 04:07:30 GMT

Has anyone had a photo printed on to a blanket.

If so do the blankets stand up to being chucked in the washing machine and dryer.

Any recomendations on where to get it done.

Please excuse the lack of question marks, its my vain attempt to not have this thread show up as a question

It sounds very tacky, like those animal prints on cheap synthetic blankets you can buy at the best & less type shops.

What type of photo did you want to print?

I had a photo put on a piece of fabric with a poem as well and attached it to the back of a quilt. I got it done at a printing/photocopying place . It is still the same after 5 years of use and washing. You can print it yourself though, using the correct products.

Is the blanket already made? not sure how you would or who would do that.

yep the blankets are made, you can get polar fleece or woven from what i have found so far.

i have printed on fabric for quilts and cushions myself but a blanket just won't fit through my printer. 😛

I looked at the ones on snapfish. They look good, especially the collage ones.

Would a blanket need to be washed often?

probably not too often.

i was just after anyone's experiences as i'd hate to get one and wreck it.
