A good way to remember how small your baby once was is with a baby handprint kit. Baby handprint kits come in many different sorts. Saving baby hand prints is a convention that has gone on for years. Baby handprints can be placed onto nearly anything with some of the more well-liked being ceramic tiles, clay, and paper. Baby handprint kits are a superb shower gift for the mother to be. Ceramic tiles are one great place to put your baby’s handprints.
To do that you’ll need a four in. or a 6 inch 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 not have any problem finding all the necessary materials at your local craft store. Before beginning the project confirm 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 that you get an imprint of the entire hand. You may add other touches such as designs and your baby’s name and date of birth. Allow the tile to dry utterly and them apply a coat of clear glaze.
Plaster is one more magnificent material to use when making baby handprints. The first step will be to put some plaster into a little container. Wipe a little oil on baby’s hand and then push it gently in the plaster. To get a complete print you will need 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 completely dry. If you are especially artistic you can put other designs in the plaster as well.
