Paw Print Keepsake Ink Kit

That small paw you know by heart, kept on paper after the puppy fluff fades. This paw print ink kit lets you press one clean print onto card at home, ready to frame, slip into an album or keep in a drawer.

Why it works

• A print you can actually frame. The ink pad sits in a white card sleeve, and the print goes onto plain white paper that fits a small photo frame.
• Done in a few seconds. Press the paw onto the pad, then onto the paper, and lift straight up. No molding clay, no waiting for plaster to set.
• A color to suit the frame. Choose black for a classic look, or pink or deep blue for something softer.

At home with it

Picture a quiet evening after a long walk, your pet sleepy and heavy on the sofa. Someone holds them close, you press one front paw onto the pad, then onto the card, and feel the soft pads give under your fingers. Writing their name and the date underneath is the part that tends to catch in your throat a little.

Why this one

A phone photo of a paw is easy to take and easy to lose among thousands of others. Clay impression kits need mixing, baking and a steady pet. This is a single ink pad and paper: one press, one print, something you can hold.

Care

Keep the pad in its sleeve when not in use so the ink does not dry out. Wipe your pet's paw with a damp cloth straight after printing, and let the print dry fully before you touch or frame it.

Good to know

The ink can mark skin and fur until it is wiped off, so have a damp cloth ready before you start. Very hairy paws give a softer, less defined print. Trim long fur between the pads first if you want crisp toe shapes.

Questions

Will it work on a wriggly pet? It helps to have two people: one to hold and one to press. Do it when your pet is tired, and keep a second sheet of paper ready in case the first press smudges.

Is the ink safe on paws? The listing names no chemicals of high concern. Wipe the paw clean straight away so your pet does not lick the ink off.
