Those family snapshots are flying out of picture frames and onto lampshades, comforters, even Kleenex boxes. Some examples:

Lampshade: Lamps Plus makes giclee art shades using two or four photos scattered around the drum or a single photo repeated several times. The shade comes with your choice of metal base: table lamp ($99.99) or floor lamp ($129.99). (800) 782-1967, www.lampsplus.com/ArtShade.

Bedding: Two entrepreneurs in Ames, Iowa, are making pillows, blankets and other pieces with photographic images. Bedspreads and duvet covers come in twin and queen sizes; prices start at about $275. Vision Bedding, www.visionbedding.com.

Bust: Sculptura turns three-dimensional scans of clients into machine-cut busts made of plaster-like material in sizes ranging from 6 inches to 14 inches tall. Prices start at $975. For an additional fee, the company can send a mobile unit to do the scanning, so customers don’t have to travel to Sculptura headquarters in Ames, Iowa. (800) 757-5969, www.photosculpture.com.

Wallpaper: L.A.-based Wallpaper Maker can create wall coverings based on customers’ photos. www.thewallpapermaker.com.

Tissue box: Kleenex recently launched a way for customers to e-mail photographs to be printed onto tissue boxes. Customers can select background colors, photo borders and other finishing touches. Cost: $4.99 per box plus shipping. www.mykleenex.com.
