Halloween Footprint Art

Ok, I know this is a juvenile project, but the boys sure had fun getting their tootsies painted and I think we will look back and marvel at how tiny their feetsies once were! ;-)



So I picked up a 2 pack of canvases at Michael's for about $6. I already had the paint and ribbon so that was about the cost of this project. Love that!



First I painted the canvas black and let dry overnight. Then I took the boys outside for the fun!

I wiped their tootsies down with a wet wipe to make sure they were clean and then started painting a foot! We had some construction paper with us to practice with first :) And made a few handprints too just because!

Then we made a nice white footprint on our nice black canvas!





After both boys had done their foot prints, I let the canvas dry. Then I wrote a small BOO in the corner of each and after that dried, Mod Podged of course!




A little glitter and embellishments around the edges... I am not quite satisfied with their faces....May have to work on that!




And a bow to top it off and we have two cute wall decorations! Grammy gets to be the recipient of the second one. I had other plans for my 2nd canvas but Z felt each one needed a foot print!









So there you go, cute, inexpensive and fun craft for the kiddos too!



I am linking up with Fireflies and Jellybeans: show off your stuff! Lots of cute ideas out there, go check them out! :)

  2. I'm seriously amazed at you. I have no energy to do crafts when I get home! I feel like I struggle to just get lunches made and clean up (a little) after dinner. I wish I had your inspiration and energy!
