Ornaprints Are Back: Tiny Hands, Tiny Feet & Christmas Keepsakes 🎄
There are Christmas decorations you buy because they're cute.
And then there are the ones you unwrap ten years later and say, “OH MY GOD, LOOK HOW LITTLE THEIR HAND WAS.”
Those are our favorites.
Ornaprints are back at Kiln Creations, which means it's time to turn those tiny hands, feet, fingers and toes into ceramic Christmas ornaments you'll pull out year after year.
What Is an Ornaprint?
Ornaprints are personalized ceramic ornaments featuring your child's actual handprint or footprint. You bring us the kiddo. We provide the clay and the supervision and—perhaps most importantly—people who have tamed a lot of little toes. Once we capture the print, we'll help transform it into an adorable holiday design. Reindeer, snowmen, Santas, Christmas trees and other festive creatures can all start with one little hand or foot.
Add a name and year, and suddenly you've got a snapshot of exactly how small they were this Christmas. Because apparently children insist on getting bigger every year despite our objections.😡
🎁 They're Pretty Great Gifts, Too
Grandparents are notoriously difficult to shop for.
You know what grandparents don't need?
More stuff.
You know what they absolutely WILL lose their minds over?
A ceramic ornament with their grandbaby's tiny footprint on it.
Make one for your own tree, make multiples for grandparents, or knock out a few Christmas gifts at once. They're personal, useful, don't take up half someone's house, and nobody has to pretend to be excited about another candle.
👶 Yes, Babies Can Do It!
In fact, babies make some of our favorite Ornaprints.
Those impossibly tiny newborn feet don't stay impossibly tiny for long, so this is one of those projects we're especially glad people make while they can.
Older kids are welcome, too. Handprints, fingerprints and even letting them help decorate their own ornament can turn it into something that's theirs instead of simply a keepsake about them.
And perfection is absolutely not required.
A slightly squished toe or crooked little finger is part of the story.
🎄 A Little Piece of This Christmas
Years from now, the toys will be gone. They'll have outgrown the Christmas pajamas. You probably won't remember what was in half the packages under the tree.
But you'll still unwrap that ornament.
You'll see the name, the year and that ridiculously little hand—and for just a second, you'll remember exactly who they were that Christmas.
That's why we make these.
These memories won't make themselves.💗
