Useful tips to help you achieve the best results...

Q: What's the best medium for the artwork?

A: Felt tips, paints and flat collage are best. If you use oil pastels please make sure they are "fixed" or they'll smudge. By and large, the brighter the artwork, the better the end product. (NB Glitter is banned as it gets everywhere and spoils other artwork!)

Q: Can I mount photos on the templates?

A: Yes you can use photos.DO NOT USE pencils or pencil crayons, silver paint ,metallics/gel pens or faint wishy-washy colours. If you are using coloured card for the artwork, please do not use pale colours

The following tips and notes should help, email us if you still have a question

  1. Specific artwork information is supplied on the free downloadable templates ➞

  2. DO NOT USE Silver paint, faint wishy-washy colours, pencils or pencil crayons.
    Do use bright, bold colours preferably felt tips, paint or flat collage.

  3. Suggest ideas or themes eg. Self-portrait, family portrait, holidays, hobbies, jungle, space, pets etc.

  4. Do not expect an exact colour match and please bear in mind that if the artwork is messy, then the print will be equally messy! Individual artwork fabric items are printed actual size. Other items have scaled artwork as appropriate.

  5. Keep important bits of artwork, such as names and ages away from the edges of the template and the corners.

  6. Please add the child’s name and age to the artwork so that it appears on the finished product. We will not add the names.

  7. If it is not obvious which way round a picture should be, please indicate “top” on the reverse of the artwork.

  8. Individual artwork is returned along with the products, so you can identify which product belongs to whom.

  9. Group artwork is retained for future orders unless otherwise instructed.

  10. Before you send in the artwork, please ensure that the order form on the template is completed in full and legibly, with the child’s name, group name, product choice and quantity. If your group has a long name then it is fine to use initials to identify it. If you would like the items sorting into classes, please make sure that the class number or name is marked clearly and consistently on the artwork.
    We do not refer to spreadsheets - we process orders from the built-in order forms so it is very important that they are correctly filled in.

  11. Here's a Parents Sample Letter ➞ - these can really help increase orders.

We reserve the right to reproduce supplied artwork for marketing purposes.
