Why a Glass Print Is the Perfect Way to Elevate Kids’ Art
While snapping a photo of your child’s masterpiece is great for documentation, it can easily get lost or forgotten in the camera roll. Rather than trying to hold on to everything, you can print the most important or most special art from your kids as a glass print.
Glass elevates any picture into a gift-worthy display. Here’s why:
- Vibrant colors and clarity: Glass preserves the richness of paints, markers, and crayon textures.
- Frameless elegance: A modern look that fits any wall or shelf.
- Ready to hang: Mom doesn’t need to frame, tape, or figure out placement—it’s ready-to-hang.
- Personalized meaning: Each print captures a moment in time, showing the love, creativity, and growth of your child.
Mom will see more than art—she’ll see thought, care, and a memory.
How to Turn Your Kid’s Art into a Mother’s Day Gift in 5 Steps
The better your photo, the better your glass print will look. Follow these steps for the best results:
1. Keep the Photo Flat and Well-Lit
Place the artwork on a flat surface in natural light to avoid shadows.
2. Straighten and Scan
Carefully use your phone camera and shoot from directly above the artwork straight down. We also recommend the PhotoScan app by Google Photos to help you get perfectly aligned shots.

3. Crop and Adjust
Focus on the artwork itself, trimming out extra background (like the table or surface you set your kids’ art on) for a polished look.
4. Upload to Fracture

FAQ: The best way to turn your kids’ art into a Mother’s Day Gift
Can I turn any artwork into a glass print?
Yes! Crayon, pencil, marker, or watercolor—Fracture preserves all the details, colors, and textures. Just make sure the photo you take of the art is even and well-lit, and that any excess background is cropped out. This applies not just to kids’ art, but any traditional artwork.
What sizes work best for displaying kids’ art?
Most kids’ art isn’t going to be the main statement piece on your wall, but will make an adorable accent to an existing gallery wall or shelf. We recommend our Extra Small through Medium sizes, depending on where you think the gift will be displayed.
For desktop or shelf: Small Square (5″ x 5″), the Extra Small (4.8″ x 6.4″), or Small Rectangle (7.2″ x 9.6″).
For wall display: Our bestseller, the Medium (10.8″ x 14.4″) or Medium Square (11″ x 11″).
How can I personalize the print to make it gift-worthy?
Add a digital border (black, white, or cream) and text like a date, short note, or title. It’s easy to make your Mother’s Day gift uniquely yours—and something only you (and the kids) can give.
From Fridge to Fracture: Make the Special Ones Count
Not every doodle deserves wall space—and that’s okay. But the truly meaningful ones, the creations that make Mom smile and spark memories, deserve more than a magnet.
With Fracture glass prints, you’re not just gifting artwork—you’re creating an elevated, personalized gift she’ll treasure forever.
This Mother’s Day, give Mom something more personal. Your kids’ artwork can be transformed into a keepsake that celebrates your child’s creativity and her love.
