This is a great way to make the most of your holiday snaps. You can easily transform your photos into wonderful postcards and send them anywhere you like. There are loads of sites online that make this easy and fun.

1. Create a photo collage

If you are new to the digital age, you can create a collage using your photos. There are lots of apps that allow you to add multiple pictures together so you can have fun with your family’s holiday snaps.

2. Use social media

You can also use social media to create postcards using your holiday photos. Upload them to Instagram, Facebook and Twitter and create a special hashtag. The site Pinterest can be used for collaging but you need to be careful when creating your boards. If you have a large collection of photos, you might want to create a board for each of your family members, as this can make it easier to share.

3. Print your pictures

If you don’t fancy using social media, then print your photos and create postcards from them. You can also download your photos onto CDs to save on paper. There are plenty of sites online that offer high quality printing.

4. Make a photo book

You can also make a photo book using your holiday snaps. There are loads of sites online that you can upload your photos and choose the size and layout of your pages.

5. Take your photo

Your camera can be an effective tool for creating a postcard. You can simply snap a photo of a particular location, for example. Alternatively, take a picture of your loved ones on your travels.

6. Create a drawing

Drawing can be fun and it’s an excellent way to express your feelings. It is best to start out simple and experiment with different styles. If you are confident, you can draw an entire scene.

7. Capture the moment

Take some snapshots of your holiday. If you like, you can include text as a caption. If you are using a mobile phone, take a selfie, otherwise just capture the scene around you.

8. Send your postcards

Once you have created your postcards, you can use the site Mail Chimp to email them. This is the best way to get your friends and family to see them. You can even use it to send them directly to your parents.

If you would rather make the cards yourself, there are plenty of websites online that you can buy blank postcards from. You can also use your favorite printer and have fun decorating your cards.

9. Use your imagination

If you aren’t sure how you want to create your postcards, you can make a blank canvas. For example, you could make a postcard of an old photo or use a scrap of fabric to make a dress.

10. Use your creativity

The final option is to create something completely original. You can make a postcard out of your favorite song or you can create a card out of your favorite quote.

Can you use photographs as postcards?

The answer is YES, but only if the photos are small enough to fit on a postcard.

Why not go to the post office and buy one of the many designs of postcards available there, especially if you have lots of different places to visit around the country you visit?

A postcard is an affordable way of sending greetings to your friends and relatives, and can cost as little as £1.40 each.

If you want to send a personal postcard, it can make a great present, especially for birthdays or Christmas.

If you want to send more than just a photo or two, you can choose from a wide range of designs and sizes. Postcards with a message on the back can look more personal than those with no text, and you can choose from black and white photos, drawings, paintings, watercolours and many more styles.

For a larger size postcard, a design featuring one of the beautiful landscapes found around the UK can make an attractive gift. The countryside looks so inviting and peaceful, and you might not have to travel far to enjoy it.

For a more unusual gift, how about a picture of a famous place in the UK such as the Lake District, Stonehenge or Big Ben?

These postcards come in all shapes and sizes, including a square design that can be used as a bookmark. They can be decorated with photographs, painted pictures, prints or illustrations.

So whether you’re sending greetings, or simply making your wishes known, a postcard can be a wonderful way of showing you care.
