their real print
No appointment, no rushed moment
A kit that lets you
take your time.
Getting a baby handprint does not have to happen on someone else’s schedule. The kit comes to your door, so you can wait for the kind of window parents know is worth waiting for: after a feed, between naps, or whenever little hands and feet seem most relaxed. You can make more than one impression and choose the one that feels most like your baby.
That at-home moment is only the beginning. Your dried mould returns to Debbie’s studio, where the real print becomes the heart of a ceramic ornament. It is shaped, carefully finished, fired, glazed, and made ready to hang. The result keeps the tiny lines, soft edges, and character of one particular hand or foot, rather than turning the memory into a generic baby shape.
A baby handprint ornament kit gives busy families a gentle way to hold onto a fleeting detail without needing everything to be perfect. The little tilt of a toe or a finger that would not quite straighten can be exactly what brings the day back years later.
A calm process from your home to the studio

Bring the memory home
Debbie turns your real impression into ceramic, then finishes the ornament by hand for the place it will hold in your family.
The print is the part no one else has
Made from the marks you want to remember.
A photograph shows how small they were. A real impression holds the shape of that smallness in a different way: the curve of a palm, the spread of a foot, the soft character of a print that only belongs to your child. The kit helps you capture that moment at home, and the ceramic keeps it close long after the mould has done its work.
If you are welcoming a newborn, a footprint is often the easiest print to catch because little feet tend to stretch. A handprint can be especially moving when you catch a relaxed hand. There is no wrong choice, and no need to make it look like a factory-perfect craft. The real details are what make the ornament personal.
Some families choose one piece for their own tree. Others begin with an ornament, then use the same little impression as the starting point for a matching keepsake for a grandparent or godparent. However you share it, the memory begins with the hand or foot you made at home.

Why the kit feels
so personal.
Made on your family’s time
There is no appointment to keep and no need to persuade a baby to cooperate in an unfamiliar place. The kit waits for the relaxed moment you find at home.
More than a printed image
The ceramic begins with your baby’s own mould, so the finished piece holds the distinctive shape and small details of the real print you captured.
Finished by hand in the studio
Once the dry mould returns, each ornament is shaped, finished, fired, glazed, and prepared by Debbie. That careful work is why it needs time.
The best time to begin is whenever the memory feels worth keeping. For some families, that is in the first newborn weeks, when a foot seems impossibly small. For others, it is a first Christmas, a birthday, or a quiet afternoon when they realise how quickly those tiny hands are changing. The finished ornament does not need a particular occasion to matter. It simply gives a real moment a place to live.
Planning matters most when the ornament is a gift or meant for a holiday. The kit is normally sent within a few business days, but the handmade ceramic process begins only after the dry mould reaches the studio. Allow around 10 weeks from then for the piece to be made and sent home. Starting early leaves room for the mould, the making, and the anticipation to feel calm.
When the ornament comes out each year, it can hold more than the print itself. It can bring back the day you made it, the familiar room, the person holding the baby, or the first season your family felt newly complete. That is the difference between a decoration and a keepsake made from a real little hand.

little print.
A lovely way to give a family a memory
For new parents,
grandparents, and Christmases ahead.
A baby handprint ornament kit is a thoughtful gift because it does not ask a new family to decide exactly what they need. It gives them a small experience to make in their own time, and a real little print that becomes more meaningful as the years pass. For grandparents, it can be a way to feel close to the new baby through a keepsake made from that child alone.
If you are giving an ornament for Christmas or another particular date, choose it early. The finished piece is made by hand after the mould returns, so an early start gives the family the freedom to make the print without rushing, and gives the ceramic the time it needs to become something lasting.
A little reassurance before you begin
Baby handprint ornament kit questions.
What comes with a baby handprint ornament kit?
After you choose an ornament, a soft mould kit and clear instructions are sent to your home. The kit is there to help you capture your baby’s real handprint or footprint in a calm moment. Once the mould is dry, return it using the information included with your order, and Debbie uses that impression to make the ceramic ornament.
Can I make a baby handprint ornament at home?
Yes. The print is made at home, where you can choose a settled time and take more than one relaxed try if you need to. The finished ornament is not a home craft project: after the mould returns, Debbie shapes, finishes, fires, glazes, and prepares the ceramic piece by hand.
Is a handprint or footprint easier to make in the kit?
Every baby is different, but a footprint can be easier in the earliest months because little feet often stretch more readily than curled hands. A handprint can be lovely too, especially after a feed or nap. A soft edge, a curled finger, or a tiny toe is part of what makes the finished ornament truly theirs.
How long does a baby handprint ornament take?
The mould kit normally leaves the studio within a few business days. Once your dry mould arrives back, allow around 10 weeks for the ornament to be shaped, fired, glazed, and sent home. If it is for Christmas or a gift, beginning early gives the whole process room to feel unhurried.
