Then, either photograph or scan the images and email them back to the ever-so-helpful owner of Smallprint, Olivia. Pieces can then be turned around in 5 – 7 days from taking the print, if needed, leaving you with a gorgeous little handprint or footprint to treasure, rather than one to clean off your walls!
