Baby Prints
1:58 PM
I used to paint signs all the time and tried to sell them a few years ago. With everyone having vinyl cutters of their own, I rarely paint signs. But I made this one when our first son was born, and plan to add each kid's foot and hand prints to have them all together.
Each kid will be a different color, so with my son green, and Ellaria red, it looks like Christmas, but we plan to have future kids that will mix it up.
I just use water-soluble craft paint to stamp their prints. The hands are the hardest, but Ellaria did pretty great on this sign.
It was interesting to compare her tiny hand to her brother's huge mitt side by side.
I also make them a little block for their room, with the hands and feet. Ellaria's weren't very good prints, her hands were just smears, but that's what you get I guess.
I just paint the name, birth date, weight and length on there.
I wish I had a Silhouette to make it easier, but for now the text is painted and is pretty much free and so that's what I use.
Her block goes on the shelf in her corner.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous keepsakes. Wish I'd thought of that 8 years ago. I do have little painted foot and hand prints on pieces of paper so I do at least have something for them to keep.
ReplyDeletesuch a precious idea!! love this for a keepsake :)
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love keepsake pieces like this. And your hand-painted letters are PHENOMENAL. I had no idea they were painted and not vinyl.
