Place A Custom Order

creating a custom ornament design

To begin a new project with Barker Ornaments, new customers must submit high quality, shadow free, color photographs or detailed line drawings so that a sample ornament can be designed. Photos submitted by email must be photographed with high resolution cameras that are 3 mega pixels or higher.  We recommend that photographs of buildings be taken in the early morning or evening hours to minimize shadows. The largest size print available should be submitted so that fine details such as architectural features can be accurately reproduced. It is also important to take photographs of the exact angle desired for the finished ornament design. A set up fee of $35.00 is charged for the sample custom ornament to be designed and created. The sample is sent to the customer for approval before production begins on the project.

To place an order, please mail a check in the amount of $35.00 along with photographs, drawings, or digital prints to Barker Ornaments at 5879 Brown Rd. Oxford, Ohio  45056. Once received, your specially created sample ornament will be mailed to you for approval within 3 weeks.

Browse Sample Ornaments

If you are considering a project, please take a moment to look through a few of the sample ornaments we have created through the years. You will notice that each ornament has been uniquely created. The angle, detail, and color are largely established by the quality of the photograph or drawing that is submitted by the customer. Holiday details and certain other architectural details are hand painted into the picture by artist, Ralph Barker. These details vary widely from project to project, depending on the preference of the customer. You will likely find a sample that is similar in nature to the project you are considering. As you browse our samples, we hope you find it easy to envision a beautiful custom designed Barker Ornament to celebrate your special event.
