For the drawings you can't throw away

Your child's drawings, kept exactly as they drew them

The three-legged dinosaur. The purple sun. The smile that runs off the edge of the face. Photograph them and we turn them into things you keep — a canvas for the wall, sticker sheets, socks — without changing a single line.

A real drawing by the founder's niece — the only artwork we've put through the process so far. Drag it: on the left, the photo. On the right, the cutout our process made from it — not redrawn, not tidied up.

  • Phone photos are fine
  • You keep the originals
  • Nothing to buy yet

In a year, most of these are gone

They fade on the fridge door, they go soft in a drawer, and one day they quietly go in the recycling. The child who drew them changes faster than the paper does — the wobbly crown is a six-month-old, not a style. This is for keeping that.

We keep their art exactly as they drew it

Your child's drawing is cut out and kept exactly as drawn — we never redraw a single line. On a sticker sheet, on a pair of socks, on a canvas on the wall, the art itself is untouched.

Most companies that “turn your child's art into something” hand it to an illustrator or a model and give you back a tidier version — cleaner lines, better proportions, none of your child. We cut theirs out and leave it alone.

  • A phone photo of a child's felt-tip drawing of a family of three in winter coats and bobble hats, holding hands between fir trees, on white paper against a dark background.
    What you send
    The same three figures and their fir trees lifted off the page, with the paper and the dark background gone — every stiff straight leg and mitten hand unchanged.
    What we cut out

    Felt-tip on printer paper, shot on a dark table. Three figures and four trees, all cut out in one pass.

  • A phone photo of a child's painting lying on a carpet: a large brown paint blob on cream card, with googly eyes glued on and round glasses and a smile drawn over it in black marker.
    What you send
    The same painting with the carpet and its shadow removed, leaving the sheet exactly as it was painted — splatter, teal smears and glued-on googly eyes all still there.
    What we cut out

    Poster paint, splatter and glued-on googly eyes, photographed on the carpet in bad light. For a full-sheet painting the whole page is the artwork.

    What we cut out

    Washi tape, foam stickers and sequins over a pencil drawing, on a spiral sketchbook page. Nothing tidied up.

    mixed on sketchbook

Every drawing here is a real one, used with the family's recorded permission. Nothing is redrawn and nothing is an example we invented.

Three steps, and one of them is yours

  1. 1

    Photograph them

    Snap the drawings on the fridge with your phone. Crooked, glared, on lined paper — that's what we built for.

  2. 2

    We cut them out

    Each drawing is lifted off the paper exactly as your child drew it. A person checks every single one before it goes anywhere.

  3. 3

    Real things arrive

    A canvas for the wall, stickers, or socks — with your child credited as the artist.

What their drawings become

  • The print-ready canvas artwork: the child's queen drawing centred on a cream square, ready for a 12-inch stretched canvas.

    A canvas for the wall

    Their drawing, printed big enough to hang, with their name on it as the artist. The canvas file above is the one our process made from the drawing at the top of this page.

    A real photo goes here when the first proof copy lands — we don't mock up things we haven't held.

    We're aiming for around £59

  • A kiss-cut sticker made from the child's queen drawing.

    Sticker sheets

    Their characters, kiss-cut. The sticker file above came straight off the drawing at the top of this page.

    We're aiming for around £8

  • A repeating sock pattern built around the child's drawing.

    Socks

    Their drawing, repeating around a pair of socks. The pattern file, as our process made it.

    We're aiming for around £15

These are the files our process produced, not photographs of printed products — we'll swap in real photos once the proof copies arrive. Prices are what we're aiming for, not an offer: nothing is on sale yet.

The things parents ask first

My photos are terrible. Does that matter?

No. Kitchen-counter photos with glare and a bit of a wonk are what we tested on — the drawing at the top of this page is one. If a photo genuinely won't work, we ask you for another rather than guessing.

Do you redraw or 'improve' the drawing?

Never — it's the whole point of Feltip. We cut your child's drawing out and place it as-is. The scenery behind it is made by us; the drawing is untouched, down to the sequins.

Do I have to send the original artwork?

No. Photos only. The originals stay on your fridge where they belong.

What happens to the photos of my child's art?

They're used to make your keepsake and nothing else. They're never used to train models, never shown to anyone else, and never used in our marketing without you writing to say yes. Source photos are deleted on a schedule after your order is fulfilled, and sooner if you ask.

When can I actually buy one?

Not yet, and we'd rather say so. The first proof copy is being printed, and nothing goes on sale until we've held it in our hands and judged it good enough. Join the waitlist and you'll hear the moment it is.
