They draw it. We make it real.
We turn your child's drawing into a 3D keepsake, keeping the shapes, colours and little details that make it unmistakably theirs.
From a simple drawing to a real keepsake
Every keepsake begins with a real child's drawing. We don't try to change it — we bring what they imagined off the page and into the real world.

How does a drawing become real?
From a simple photo of the drawing to a keepsake you can hold in your hands.
1. Send us the drawing
Take a clear photo of the drawing and send it to us through the form below or on Instagram.
2. We bring it into 3D
We turn the drawing into a 3D model while keeping the character and special little details of the original.
3. We print and finish it
The model is carefully 3D printed, then sanded and finished by hand to prepare it for painting.
4. We paint it by hand
Using the original drawing as our guide, we hand-paint each keepsake to bring its colours to life.
5. It's ready!
Your keepsake is carefully packed and ready to make its way home to you.
From drawing to finished keepsake, the process usually takes around 2 weeks.
About Mafan Studio
Mafan Studio is a small creative studio in Hoorn, the Netherlands, where children's drawings step off the page and become real 3D keepsakes.
Every piece is individually created from the original drawing, 3D printed, then carefully finished and painted by hand.
We don't mind if the lines aren't straight or if one eye is bigger than the other. In fact, those are the details we love most. We don't correct them — we keep them.
