I make custom gifts in glass, metal, etc. I purchased legal transfers for textile printing, etc.
However, I make custom gifts such as découpage plates, glass trinkets, buttons, journals, key chains etc and I want to place the photo of the First Family on these items. I have seen many photos in magazines, newspapers, etc. that I like, and I could cut away the background, etc and just use the rest of the photo if that is OK.
Usually, in making personalized gifts, one scans a photo and processes the photo as needed in order to make the item. What can I do? I don't want to violate any copyright laws in making these unique items. And, I have not been able to find a source that sells sublimation transfers of the First FAmily. Sublimation transfers are needed for coffee mugs, etc. The buttons and glass trinkets do not require a transfer as such. I just need to print out on my printers, and process them for making the items.
Please note that I have legally purchased images for textile imprinting by transfers.
Desperate. Time is running out for preparation.
