Keepsake Footprint Ideas
There are many baby keepsake footprint ideas that will help ensure that you preserve your baby’s footprint for many generations to come. Since a baby’s footprint is unique and also serves a way of identifying a baby it is only natural that both footprints and hand prints are used in baby heirlooms. Ideas are every where. You can add your baby’s to scrapbooks, mugs, clocks, wall hangings, decorative birth plates, framed kits, ceramic art, the possibilities are endless. You can also have it imprinted on an acid free card, you can scan it on your computer and use the footprint for many other types of graphic artwork.
You can use a kit that will provide you with the tools needed to complete it. One kit in particular that is very striking is the 3d imprint. If you’ve seen the traditional clay or ceramic imprints, these are set as a depression inside plaster of paris, then hardened and painted or glazed. The same idea is used with the 3d, however the print is raised and three dimensional, not set in as with an imprint. This is an exceptionally unique look that varies from the traditional version.
Another great idea is to have the print etched on to a mug or even a set of baby dishes. These make wonderful keepsakes and can also include information such as the baby’s name, birth date, height and weight, as well as any photos that you might like to include.
If you are creating memory books or baby scrapbooks, you might find that the best idea is one that has been created on acid free paper and then stored on your computer. You can then add images such as your baby’s photo, ultrasound pictures, or memorable photos when your baby was still in the womb to create very special and unique scrapbooks. By choosing any of these keepsake ideas you can ensure that you will have a wonderful heirloom for many years to come.
