Every year I love to pick out a gift to make for the Grandparents from the boys. I usually spend the year pinning ideas from Pinterest of things that I think look cute and then, in November, I narrow down my search to that one perfect item.
This year, I found a super cute idea at
DIY Cozy Home that I just fell in love with from the first time I saw it.
There is nothing better that hands and feet of kids. It's such a great mile marker in their life.
This is what ours looked like:
Now, I was a little fearful of this project because I'm not artistic. When I started this, I wasn't sure how I was going to do the word or the bows. The first thing I did was stamp the feet. I kinda lucked out because the two siblings I babysit totally messed up their canvas - despite me saying, "Do NOT move your foot, they both moved! This gave me a messed up canvas to work with so I could test out some different options. I ended up using a Scrapbooking Marker to write the word "Mistletoe's" and then used glitter glue pens to make the bows and the dots. I impressed myself :-)
These were a huge success as a gift. Yes, I have the kids I babysit always make one too and I make one for myself too! I love making kids gifts that are Christmas Decor so the grandparents/parents don't have to leave them out all year but instead, get to take them out and "ooo" and "ahhhh" over them over and over again!
