Olivias Shopping Tips To Understand When Purchasing Baby Handprint Frames
Posted by Babies - 05/02/10 at 02:02 pmBaby handprint kits are great gifts for birthdays, baby showers, fathers/mothers day or for grandparents. The perfect way to get your baby’s handprint (particularly when they are too young to appreciate the idea) is to wait till they’re asleep. Baby handprints come in a lot of materials, and could be designed in a variety of ways. You can also design handprint frames.
You can find kits for newborns as well as for an older child. Save those handprints or footprints when they are so teeny tiny. Most kits consist of a ornamental tin, a non-toxic plast solution, ribbon plus instructions. Finished product measures four 1/2″ in diameter. Kits are meant for children ages newborn - three years.
Parents can cherish their newborn’s birth by making a memento hand and foot cast of their baby. A treasured item they’ll love years later! Parents can cherish forever baby’s small handprint.

Paint a single coat of glaze across the palm and keep the fingers apart so that the fingerprints appear on the tile. Ensure that the hands are steady and then gently press the palm and fingers for the full hand impression. You can also paint baby’s hand with acrylic paint (look for the AP Certified non-toxic seal) and then press firmly onto the center of the canvas. Wash baby’s hand immediately with warm soapy water to take away all the paint.
Frame the finished print. Frames come in a range of sizes, colors plus finishes. For a bold impact, you might show one footprint or handprint in a small frame. Framed fanciful prints are habitually bestowed as baby gifts on the christening ceremony. The frames will be engraved with the names of the child and even the date of the holy ceremony.
