Baby Footprint Frame
If you've just welcomed a new baby into your home, or are looking for ways to capture certain milestones as you children grow, you may want to consider purchasing a baby footprint frame. Many parents receive copies of their baby's footprints when the child is born, and frame these precious images to put in the baby's room, or to include in a scrapbook.
When you're searching for baby footprint frames, it's important to think about where you want to put the frame. If you're thinking of using the baby's footprints as decoration in his or her room, it's best to select colors that already match with the room decor. You should also decide whether or not you want to hang the frame on the wall, or purchase a frame with a stand that you can place on the baby's dresser or a table in the room.
You should also think about other accents you'd like to add to the baby footprint frame. For instance, some parents have their child's name and/or birthday engraved on the frame if it is made from wood, silver, or gold, or have pictures engraved on the frame, like baby rattles, building blocks, and animals. If you want to hang your baby's footprints in a frame on the wall, you can choose from traditional wall hooks for frames, or you can use ribbon, lace, or pearls as an accent to the baby footprint frame.
Deciding on the size of the frame can be a bit of a challenge as well. If you want to include your child's birth certificate in the frame, or a picture of your newborn, you'll want to get a frame with multiple portrait openings. It's possible to find larger frames with the accents and trimming you want, but knowing where to look is important. If you don't find what you want at a local retailer, there are plenty of online stores and nursery shops that will have baby footprint frames for you to choose from.
Of course, if you're especially crafty, you can create a baby footprint frame of your own. You can use special ribbon, all types of wood, paint, glass, or even plastic to create a frame that is original and can't be found anywhere else. This is a great craft to do with the big brother or sister of the new baby, since it will give them a chance to get involved in preparing for the newest member of the family.
