Makin's Clay® Memory Frames

Makin's Clay® has these great Memory Frames

which make a perfect gift....

While this project is not complete....

I want to show you how the process

and how Velcro Brand Adhesive makes it easy to finish

when the time is right!

There are several Memory Frames to choose from

for this one I choose the Double Turning Frame

Each kit comes with a package of 

Makin's® No Bake Polymer Clay

so that you are able to capture

a foot print, hand print or 

to create something for the frame.

I rolled out the clay.

I used footprint rubber stamps

to create temporary footprints

for the Memory Frame,

I will take the real foot impressions

when my grandson about 3 months old

and his feet are  a bit stonger

to be pressed for a good impression.

These are small so there is enough left over clay

to use for the real foot impressions,

just be sure to keep the left over clay in a 

zip lock bag to keep it from drying out. 

Let these dry completely 

which can take about 48 hours 

depending upon thickness.

Once dry I used Velcro Brand Press and Close Fasteners

on the back of the clay impressions.

and also on the fabric which I used as a backdrop

in the frame.   By using the Velcro 

it will be easy to change out the 

rubber stamped impressions for 

the real ones once they are made!

Here are two sides of the frame,

if you follow my blog you may recognize

that the lettering and background

match the curtains and boarder

I made for the nursery ...

The letters here were made from left over

Donald Duck pictures I had.

Here is another way the frame can look,

the picture side is not finished yet,

since it in a shadow box, I want to find

a small Donald Duck to put in there at the

bottom to go with the theme of 

the nursery.

Here is another way the frame can go,

of course the real footprints

will take up a bit more room than these

which will fill up this side of the shadow box better.

Here is another way the frame can go.

This photo shows how easy it is

for the frame to turn.

These make great gifts....
