Baby’s first Christmas is a special thing indeed, and it only happens once in each persons life so it’s important to make it special in every way possible. This project captures those teeny little feet just the way they are and turns them into a charming Christmas Tree to add to cards, gift tags or just to hang on the fridge and to remind you of those little toesies!

Difficulty level: Easy
Time required: 30 minutes

Things you’ll need:
Green acrylic paint
Cardstock
Foam brush
Pompoms
Craft glue

Things to do:
1. Paint a generous coat of green paint on the bottom of each cute little food and press them onto the cardstock, toes pointing out and heels overlapping to create the tree shape.

2. Once the paint is dry, add pompoms for the star, ornaments and a trunk with small dabs of glue. Allow the glue to dry before displaying or gifting.

Little footprints are just about the sweetest things in the world, don’t you think? And I’m always looking for ways to preserve memories of those sweet feet before they get any bigger (which they are doing every day, of course). This project gives you a snapshot of those feet in this moment and creates a lovely holiday memento all in one quick little craft!
