Record the Story Behind a Handmade Object

A handmade object can hold the memory of learning, effort and the person who created it. A keepsake story can preserve that context even when the object itself stays elsewhere.

Give the story a clear shape

Photograph the object with the maker's permission and describe what you know about its creation. Ask the maker to review the story if you include details of their process. Credit their contribution clearly.

A detail to build on

I remember you explaining how you made this and showing me the part that took the most patience.

Choose what belongs in the memory

Do not infer materials, techniques or origins you cannot confirm. Let the maker's own account guide the factual details.

Bring the idea into a personal keepsake

An iTripe keepsake connects a physical gift with a personal digital message and media through its QR or NFC feature. Use the idea above to choose a clear story, then prepare the words and files before activation. Check names, spelling and the selected media together so the complete experience reflects what you intend to share.

Browse the iTripe collection for current designs and product details. See the FAQ for activation guidance, and keep copies of your original photos, recordings and message in your own storage.
