Tiny Hands, Big Emotions Captured Forever

In the whirlwind of feeding, baby bonding, and sleepless nights, it’s easy to overlook the little things, like just how small your little one's fingers once were.

The overwhelming rush of love you felt upon meeting your newborn will remain etched in your heart forever, but as they grow, those precious, tiny features become increasingly difficult to recall.

A foil handprint keepsake offers a quiet, lasting reminder of those delicate hands, capturing not just their size but also the profound depth of emotion that filled your heart in those early moments.

Why Foil Newborn Handprint Art Is So Special

Foil baby handprint art is special because it offers an alternative way to capture those tiny features without the mess and hassle of traditional methods.

Our baby handprint and footprint kits offer a beautiful blend of baby bonding and personalised art, turning those fleeting details into a lifelong keepsake.

Using a special printing process, each handprint is perfectly preserved in gorgeous metallic foil. You receive a finished piece of artwork, ready to display proudly in your home as a treasured memory for generations.

Every time you glance at your keepsake, you'll be taken back to that unforgettable moment you first held your baby, when love, awe, and joy hit you all at once.

Why Choose the Bespoke Foil Company?

Since establishing our company in 2017, we've worked hard to ensure The Bespoke Foil Company stands out from the competition in the best ways. 

Here's why parents trust us to capture their baby’s precious moments.

Unique Foil Fusion Technology

You won't find our special foil printing process anywhere else.

Traditional printing methods use an outdated method that results in a speckled, uneven finish. Eventually, the foil peels away from the card, ruining what should be a cherished keepsake.

We set out to change that, and we succeeded!

Our unique Foil Fusion Technology removes all the problems associated with foil printing. By bonding the foil seamlessly to the card, the foil remains flawless and intact. No peeling or deterioration.

Each baby's handprint is preserved as it should be, perfectly, and forever. 

Sustainable and eco-friendly

We'll admit that when we first started our company, we used plastic packaging. But we quickly realised this wasn't the way.

Contributing to landfill waste did not fit our vision of the kind of world we want to leave behind for younger generations.

Therefore, we removed all plastic from our products. Everything is sustainable and can either be recycled or composted. Even the wallets our prints arrive in (which look like plastic) are actually made from compostable cellophane.

Independent and family-owned

When you buy from us, you support a small independent business. Run by our family for your family, we understand just how emotional and important keepsakes are.

That's why we handle each foil print like it were our own. We take care to create and deliver the perfect print, and we're more than happy to answer all of your questions and concerns.

Gentle, safe, and non-toxic

Our foil kits are as gentle as they can be. 

Unlike paint or ink, we guarantee that our inkless wipes are completely safe for your baby and won't cause any harm or irritation.

You can use our kits on the smallest of newborn babies without any worry or concern, even right after birth.

A Peek Inside the Kits

Each of our kits contains everything you need to capture your baby's foot or handprints.

We know too well how overwhelming becoming a new parent can be, so we've designed them to be as straightforward as possible. In just five minutes, you can create a stunning keepsake without any mess.

In the kit you'll find:

• Two inkless wipes

• Four sheets of reactive paper

• Complete and detailed instructions

• A card containing your order number (this is required when uploading your images)

The kits include one A4 print in your choice of foil and cardstock colours. But fair warning: as soon as the grandparents see it, they'll want one, too! Luckily, you can order extra prints to keep the whole family happy.

How to Take Prints of Your Baby's Hand

Wait for a moment when both you and your baby are calm and relaxed, then follow these steps:

• Take one of the inkless wipes and apply it thoroughly to your infant's hands. Make sure you cover the palm and all the fingers. One wipe is usually enough for both hands.

• Using a firm surface (you can use the box the kit arrives in), press your baby's hands onto the reactive paper, and an imprint will instantly appear. Use all the paper. The more prints we receive, the easier it is to pick the best ones.

• Take photos of each sheet of paper and upload them to our website.

• Add any personalised text, such as the baby's name and birth date or a sweet message, and decide if you want any extra prints or add-ons.

Now, all you have to do is wait for us to work our magic:

• We select the best prints, clean them up (remove smudges and other imperfections), and then send them to you for your review.

• Once you're happy with the result, we'll transform them into stunning foil-printed keepsakes. 

• Lastly, the completed artwork will arrive at your door, free of charge and ready to take pride of place in your home.

  
  

Are There Other Creative Ideas for Creating Handprint Art?

While there are plenty of creative ideas for creating handprint art, most are not suitable for a newborn.

The problem is that using paint or ink is super complicated. Both smudge easily, and it's incredibly tricky to get a clear handprint. Then there's the mess, which no new parent wants to deal with.

Making imprints in clay or plaster is another option. You do end up with detailed prints, but it's fiddly to do, and both clay and plaster are easily breakable. 

Unfortunately, if you break your clay imprints, they're gone forever, as it's impossible to get another copy.

That's why foil prints are such a great option. They're easy, mess-free, and once your baby's print is captured, you can order extra copies anytime. It's a beautiful keepsake you can share with family, and it lasts a lifetime.

FAQs

What makes handprint art powerful?

Handprint art is powerful because it captures a fleeting moment in time that can never be recreated. 

Each tiny line and curve tells a story of your baby’s earliest days, making it a deeply personal and meaningful keepsake.

Can it be turned into wall art?

Yes! Your baby's handprints can be transformed into beautiful wall art by using a foil kit from The Bespoke Foil Company. 

Each kit includes one A4 foil print, and you can enhance the art by adding personalised text. We also have a variety of framing options. Easy to display, your new wall art can take prime position in the home or nursery.

What's the emotional value of this keepsake?

The emotional value of this keepsake lies in its ability to freeze a brief moment in time. Babies grow quickly, and yours will never be as tiny as when they were first born.

A handprint keepsake becomes a tangible reminder of how small they once were, creating a lasting symbol of love, connection, and those early newborn days.

Can I use the foil print kits for baby footprint art?

Yes! The Bespoke Foil Company foil kits are suitable for both handprints and footprints. 

To create your baby's footprint art, all you do is apply the inkless wipe to the soles of the feet instead of the hands and press them onto the reactive paper.

Can I use ink pads for baby handprints?

It's not recommended to use ink pads for making baby handprints or footprint art. Besides being messy, the ink may not be suitable for a delicate baby's skin and may cause irritation.

Instead, use the special inkless wipes that come with foil printing kits. They are safe, chemical-free, and don't cause any harm to your baby.

Final Thoughts

As you take your baby's hand in yours, it's hard to imagine how something so small can hold so much of your heart. 

Those early days pass in the blink of an eye, but a foil hand or footprint keepsake helps you hold on to the magic, capturing a moment you’ll always remember.
