A good way to recollect how small your baby once was is with a baby handprint kit. Baby handprint kits come in several different sorts. Saving baby hand prints is a practice that has gone on for centuries. Baby handprints can be placed onto nearly anything with some of the more favored being ceramic tiles, clay, and paper. Baby handprint kits are a superb shower gift for the mummy to be. Ceramic tiles are one great spot to put your baby’s handprints.
To do that you’ll need a four inch or a 6 in. tile, a brush, a ceramic under glaze in a dark color, a container of clear glaze, and a humid sponge. Wipes or paper towels to clean off baby’s hands should also be kept handy. You should have no problem finding all the necessary materials at your local craft store. Before starting the project ensure that both the tile and baby’s hands are clean and dry. Paint baby’s hand using the dark under glaze being certain to keep the fingers separated. When the hand is covered in paint place is on the ceramic tile meticulously so you get an imprint of the complete hand. You may add other touches like designs and your baby’s name and date of birth. Permit the tile to dry totally and them apply a coat of clear glaze.
Plaster is an additional great substance to use when making baby handprints. Step 1 will be to put some plaster into a small container. Wipe a little oil on baby’s hand and then compress it gently in the plaster. To get a total print you will have to apply mild pressure to each part of the hand. Baby’s hand will have to be cleaned after you remove it from the plaster. Use a knife or bamboo skewer to etch baby’s name and date of birth in the plaster before it is totally dry. If you are especially creative you can put other designs in the plaster as well.
