How To Take A Fingerprint for Fingerprint Jewellery with Materials You Have at Home.

We have created a whole collection of fingerprint jewellery in sterling silver and solid gold. To create your custom fingerprint necklace you need a fingerprint!

There are two methods we can recommend:

  1. You can use the pencil method described below
  2. you can use an app called iFing. We are not affiliated with this app, but we have used fingerprints created with this app and they work perfectly. There is a small fee to download a fingerprint created with that app. 

Follow this simple step-by-step process to take a clear, accurate fingerprint with materials you can find at home.

What you need:

  • HB pencil,
  • scotch tape,
  • white paper,
  • a finger, thumb, or toe!

1. On a clean, white sheet of paper, color in a solid square with a soft lead pencil.
