I'm a qualified Jeweller and ALL items are handmade with care in my workshop in the UK, no imports or cheaply made items. As a parent and pet owner I know how much sentimental value these prints have and orders will be treated with sensitivity.
We require an impression of your child's or loved one's print to produce this item. There are 2 options:
Take your loved one's print by colouring an area of paper in normal pencil lead and then rubbing the child's finger on the pencilled in area on the paper. The finger is then stuck onto a piece of sellotape and then the tape is stuck onto a piece of white paper. You can then take a photo of the print or scan and emailed to us. You can also try using a dark coloured inkpad - available from a stationers or a craft shop. Take a few prints (until you're happy you have a good quality print) on white paper and scan/photo then email or photograph the jpeg image and send to me through Etsy messaging service. Please contact me if you are unsure about this. Very good results are achieved using this method or the moulding kit method. This method is quicker. You must use this method if ordering from outwith the UK.
We can also send out a 100% safe specialist putty which you use to take your child's/loved one's impression and post it back to us. You will have the opportunity to take prints up to three times before the putty will become unworkable (about 2 minutes). We can only work with the impression we are sent so please contact us if you feel the imprint you have taken is unsuitable. This method is available for UK only.
Please note we recommend that fingerprints only be taken for children over 12 months as fingerprint impressions are not fully formed until after this point. However, if you really want a fingerprint - you still can, but it won't be as defined as an older child's print - so maybe a hand or foot print would be a good option, (which I can also create).
