THE HAIR KEEPSAKE

Are you the kind of parent who would keep their child’s hair from the first haircut, to remember how it was, and notice how it changes through the years?

Then this keepsake may be for you!

I recommend you read this post where I tell you more about this and suggest a couple of alternatives to preserve cut hair.

This is how I made my girls’ hair keepsakes. In the video below, I use gold ribbon instead of real hair for showing purposes! It’s so easy. Be careful and slow with the cut hair, especially if it’s curly or wavy, to prevent the hair strands from separating and losing the texture of the curls.

If you would like to make the same keepsakes that I made for my daughters, you can download, below, the illustrations of the background and the rocket or the butterfly, to print them at home and make your hair keepsakes.

Here are links to the frames I’ve used for my daughter’s keepsakes, and the one I’ve used in the video:

Enjoy making your hair keepsakes, and let me know if you have any questions! I’d love to know how they turned out too: please tag me @pokidots on Instagram!
