baby footprint

Baby footprint - with only $25 you can create a lifetime memory for you and your baby. You can make your own wall art and all you need is a set of four 8 inches x 8 inches canvases, acrylic paint in four vibrant colors and paint brushes.

Start by painting the canvases, one color for each canvas. Apply 2 coats of paint on each canvas. Sure you can leave the canvas white but colored, they are a great complement for a white wall nursery. After the paint dries out, you can start the fun/messy part: applying a bit of paint onto the sole of your baby's foot and make the print.

Apply pressure from behind the canvas so that you get a better print: lesson learn after recording the left foot. Second attempt with the right foot was better but then Victor moved his foot. Do one foot at a time so it doesn't get too messy because the baby will definitely move a lot. And use a sponge to paint the baby's foot. A paintbrush will tickle him , which will trigger even more movement.

Finish it off with adding the age of the baby or the date, your choice. We went for the age: 3 months and the 3 left canvases will be used for months 6 , 9 and 12.
