AI image by LocalRankA baby's hands and feet change within weeks, and the first haircut and the umbilical cord are gone just as fast, which is why a small group of Singapore craftspeople make keepsakes from them. This guide covers six makers: hand and foot casting studios, traditional taimaobi hair brush and cord stamp makers, and one jeweller that works with breast milk. Each description is drawn from the maker's own website, so claims are attributed to it. We list no prices because they change and depend on design. Read the how-to-choose notes first, then contact two or three makers to compare timing, home visits and what each quote includes.
1. 3dPortrait Singapore
3dPortrait Singapore makes three-dimensional hand and foot castings of babies, and its site presents each piece as finished by hand in the studio's own atelier. It says the moulding session happens at the family's home anywhere in Singapore, with delivery to the doorstep. The site describes the first hundred days as the ideal window for a newborn cast and also lists milestone castings for full-month celebrations, christenings and first birthdays, each dated and discreetly engraved on the reverse. The site offers a gallery and a frame simulator for planning. The studio states it was founded in 2014 and uses baby-friendly materials that are gentle on newborn skin. It suits parents who want the work to come to them.

2. B&G Lifecasting
B&G Lifecasting sells casts of babies and families through an online shop that groups its products into single baby or child casts, sibling casts, family casts, statue casts and impression casts. The product pages describe a baby's hands and feet cast in a gold or silver finish and set in a box frame, with a photo and personal text supplied by the customer. Its contact page lists studios inside KK Women's and Children's Hospital and Mount Alvernia Hospital, and the product descriptions add that moulding can also be done through a home service. Statue casts are shown as table-top sculptures in plaster or bronze. The site invites appointments by call or WhatsApp.

3. Precious Casting
Precious Casting is a home-based maker of three-dimensional hand and foot sculptures, and its FAQ page says it has no outlet or shop for visitors, so the moulding session takes place at the family's address. The 3D hands and feet pages list designs for one cast, two casts, two hands and two feet, adults, and family and sibling sets, plus other designs. The about page describes the casts as handcrafted, painted silver or gold and framed, made with a natural seaweed-based moulding material that the business calls non-allergenic. Engraving and embroidery are listed as separate services. Bookings run through a WhatsApp button or the contact page. The FAQ also admits that every cast turns out slightly different.

4. Huatsing Baby Souvenir
Huatsing Baby Souvenir describes itself as a Woodlands workshop specialising in baby hair and umbilical cord keepsakes. Its home page lists baby hair brushes in the Chinese taimaobi tradition, umbilical cord stamps with the baby's name engraved on the base, first haircut services, Chinese naming and baby hair art such as pendants and bracelets with hair set inside. The company says most customers choose a home visit so the haircut can be done in familiar surroundings, and that parents can also visit the workshop to place an order. It states that its brushes are handmade and that sandalwood brushes carry its own lifelong warranty. Pages appear in English and Chinese, and appointments can be requested through the site.

5. Huaxia Taimaobi Centre
Huaxia Taimaobi Centre makes taimaobi baby hair brushes and umbilical cord stamps. Its contact page gives a headquarters at Braddell Tech in Toa Payoh and says home service is available every day. The site explains that the brush head is made from the baby's first haircut and engraved with the baby's name, birthday and a blessing, while the cord stamp is a crystal or liuli piece engraved with the name. By its own count the company, founded in 2003, has made tens of thousands of brushes, and it also lists Chinese naming. The website looks dated, but a community event featuring its naming consultant was scheduled for August 2025, so confirm outlets, hours and appointments by phone before visiting.

6. Apart.sg
Apart.sg is a keepsake jeweller whose home page names breast milk and hair among the materials it works into rings, necklaces, bracelets and earrings. For new mothers, its breast milk page describes two approaches: milk concealed beneath a stone such as opal or mother of pearl, or milk shown in clear resin, which the site candidly says may yellow or change over time. The brand states that it documents the making of each piece, handles orders one at a time and labels each sample. Visits to its Excelsior Shopping Centre showroom are by appointment, arranged through the WhatsApp button on the site. It suits mothers who want a wearable keepsake instead of a framed cast or a brush.

How to choose
- Start by deciding what you want to keep. A cast of tiny hands and feet, a taimaobi brush made from the first haircut, a cord stamp and a piece of jewellery are different crafts, and the makers here each specialise in one or two. Match the object to the maker before comparing anything else.
- Ask about timing before the baby arrives. Cast studios describe a newborn window, one saying the first hundred days, and hair keepsakes depend on when the first haircut is planned. Ask how far ahead to book, how soon after a full-month date a visit is possible, and what happens if the schedule slips.
- Check where the session happens. Some makers visit your home, some work from a workshop or showroom, and one lists hospital studios. Ask who travels, how long the session usually takes, and what they do if the baby is unsettled, since a calm baby makes casting and haircuts easier.
- Ask what the keepsake is made of and how it ages. Makers describe moulding materials, paints, resin, crystal and sandalwood in their own words, so request the description in writing. For anything set in resin, ask about yellowing, and ask how to clean and display the finished piece.
- Get the full scope in writing before paying. Confirm whether the quote covers frame, engraving, photo, home visit and delivery, what the timeline is, and what happens if a cast or brush has flaws. Because every handmade piece differs slightly, ask to see recent finished examples of the style you want.
