Customer photo review of Custom Punch Needle Kit - Turn Your Photo Into Handmade Art

I hung my finished piece in my living room and it looks amazing. It feels really special knowing I made it myself from one of my favorite photos. The quality of the materials is great and the colors turned out beautifully. It’s such a nice alternative to standard wall art. I’ve already gotten so many compliments on it.

At first I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to do it, but it turned out to be really beginner-friendly. Once you get started, it becomes almost meditative and very relaxing. I liked that everything was included, so I didn’t have to buy anything extra. The design made it easy to follow along without confusion. I’m already planning my next project.

I got this as a gift for my sister using a photo of her and her dog, and she absolutely loved it. The whole idea feels so much more personal than a regular present. It took me a few sessions to complete, but it was actually really enjoyable. Seeing her reaction made it 100% worth it. I’ll definitely be ordering another one soon.

I made this with a photo of my dog and I honestly love how it turned out. The whole process was much easier than I expected, even as a beginner. I worked on it over a few evenings and found it really relaxing after work. It now sits on my couch and adds such a personal touch to my space. I’ve already had a few friends ask me where I got it.

Up close

Soft loops you can actually touch

Every color area is filled with plush yarn loops, so your portrait has real depth and texture, more like a small tapestry than a print.

We match the yarn shades to skin tones, hair and background, so the finished piece looks like them.

FAQ

Your questions, answered

Will it really look like my photo?

Yes. We optimize your photo by hand (crop, contrast, colors) into a stitch-ready design and email you a free design preview within 24 hours, before anything is printed. You can ask for changes before you approve. The finished piece is a stylized, textured portrait, not a photo print.

Do I need any crafting experience?

No. Push the needle through the canvas, pull it back, move one step, repeat. The illustrated guide is written for complete beginners. Mistakes are easy to undo: pull the loops out and punch again.

What if my photo isn't perfect?

A sharp phone photo is all you need. We simplify every photo into clear shapes by hand and send you a free design preview before anything is printed. If something looks off, ask for changes or send a different photo before you approve. For extra peace of mind, add the Photo Check (+$5): one of our experts checks and approves your photo before production.

Do I see the preview before I pay?

You place your order with your photo, and we email your free design preview within 24 hours. You can ask for changes before you approve, and nothing is printed until you do.

Which size should I choose?

Small (16 × 20 in) for one person or pet. Medium (20 × 24 in) for two people or pets, our most popular size. Large (24 × 32 in) for three to five people or pets. More than five? Email us your photo first. Every size includes the frame.

How long does it take to stitch?

It depends on the size and how much detail your photo has. Medium and Large take longer because there's more to fill. It's meant to be enjoyable, not fast.

Is it a good gift?

Yes. Give the kit so they enjoy the making, or stitch it yourself and give the finished artwork. You can ship it straight to the recipient by entering their address at checkout. Your design preview is emailed to you, not to them, so the surprise stays safe.

Can I use any photo?

Please use photos you took yourself or have permission to use, for example a wedding photo with your photographer's OK. We can't turn paintings or illustrations by other artists into kits.
