Got My Eight Week Old's Footprint on a Baseball - Easier Than I Expected
I wanted a keepsake and I wanted it to be something a little different. A footprint on paper felt ordinary. A footprint on a baseball felt like something we would actually keep and display for years. This ink pad made that happen and it was much easier than I anticipated.Full disclosure: I had the pad backwards at first and got ink directly on his foot instead of using the clean touch method the right way. Once I realized it I decided to just roll with it since we were already committed. Honestly I think the direct contact gave me even better coverage and detail than I might have gotten the correct way - every contour of his little foot transferred clearly. The ink is non-toxic and baby safe so no harm done, and it wiped off his foot easily with a baby wipe.A tip that made a big difference: start with the toes and work toward the heel. Babies tend to curl and pull their toes in when something touches their foot, so getting the toes down first while they are relaxed gives you the best result. I did have to go back and touch up two toes but the print came out clean and sharp with no smudging.The ink dries slower on a surface like a baseball than it would on paper so give it time before touching it. I accidentally got a little on my finger and touched the back of the ball and it did not wipe off - which actually told me everything I needed to know about how well it would stay on permanently.Check my photo of the finished baseball. It came out beautifully. Five stars and a genuinely great idea for a keepsake that goes beyond the baby book.Ver másVer menos
