Frequently Asked Questions About Photo Christmas Ornaments
What are Shutterfly photo ornaments made of?
Our ornaments come in a variety of premium materials, including ceramic, metal, glass, and wood. Each option is designed to last for years while adding a touch of elegance to your holiday décor.
How do I personalize an ornament?
Creating a custom photo ornament is easy. Start by choosing an ornament design, then upload your favorite photos from your phone, computer, Google Photos, Amazon Photos, or Facebook. Personalize your ornament by adding names, dates, or custom text, preview your design, and place your order. You can also order multiple copies to give as gifts or share with family and friends.
