Just put some cardboard or something at the back to create enough pressure that the handprint stays in place. </p> <p>Or blue-tack? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/handprint-per-year-project#post-2768757 Sat, 19 Aug 2017 19:06:59 +0000 SweetCaroline 2768757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What if this year's background becomes next year's handprint? Then there's no need to un-adhere anything. You also have to wait 15+ years to get the background you ultimately want, but that's the best I could do :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/handprint-per-year-project#post-2768747 Sat, 19 Aug 2017 17:36:46 +0000 Jennibenni 2768747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I would just trace them all on the same piece of paper each year. And line up the bottom of the palm eacb time so you can see how the hand gets longer and wider. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/handprint-per-year-project#post-2768711 Sat, 19 Aug 2017 11:17:42 +0000 meadow 2768711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before kids, I remember seeing a blog post on the internet about tracing your child's handprint onto cardstock every year and mounting them in a picture frame where the youngest is closest to the glass and each year you mount the new handprint at the back so you can see how their hands grow over time. It was really cute - so I filed it away in my mind as a "someday..." project.</p> <p>Well - I went and bought cardstock and frames and glue dots and got all excited.... BUT..... then I realized I'm not sure how to do it right. I have a background sheet of cardstock that I will put this year's handprint on. But in a year, I'll need to remove it to put the new one behind and reattach to the background sheet.</p> <p>So my question is.......... all you crafty people....... what is the smartest way to do this so I don't ruin the background sheet? Is there a removable glue dot type product that will really be removable after a full year - or even better - reusable for, say, 15 years?</p> <p>TIA! </p>
