brynne, you are my hero! i have been looking for the perfect art for my bathroom!
Yay! So glad this post is perfect for you! Thank you Cassie 🙂
What type of paper would you recommend and what size works best?
These are just what I have been looking for!
Hi Pam – so glad this post is just what you were looking for!
Each image is a slightly different size, so it will be dependent on the individual image that you choose. You can print these at home (I think cardstock would work really well), but you could also have them printed at a photo printing place as prints, posters, or even canvas art! If you want to print at home, you can use a photo editing program (you can even use a free one online, like PicMonkey) to create a properly sized “canvas” (like 5×7 or 8×10, or whatever size will work best for you) to pull the image into so it prints at the right size.
Where do you recommend getting these printed at because my home printer would not be able to print any of these prints?
Hi Pam! I don’t necessarily have any one place I would recommend, but I would look for an online photo printing place (you can find some really great prices online!) or even just stop by a local print/copy shop to have it printed. Standard sized prints (like 8×10″ or 8.5×11″) should be very affordable!
Thanks!
loving these birdies!
