Today I've invited a few moms over to make Halloween cards for our friends and family. So spoiler alert if you are a friend or family member!!
We are going to use:
Plastic disposable plates
Water
Silver paint- acrylic
White paint- acrylic
Metallic silver gel pin, maybe white too
Black 9x12 construction paper (I've already cut mine into a square shape)
Scissors
Paper towels
Babies feetsies
no babies were harmed in the act of stamping
I'm going to try to use his foot as the body of a bat - silver paint
My back up plan it to use his foot shape as a white ghost
I plan to write boo and or trick or treat smell my feet
Strategy I've used in the past for getting a good foot print:
Having another person help!
So I paint the foot rather than sticking his foot in the paint.
I paint foot, have paper ready, press from heel to toes. You have go to push those toes down at the end bc their instinct is to curl their toes. Emily did the straight down, whole foot technique and had better results. Some experimenting may help so cut some extra paper.
Have the card turned in the direction you like.
For example: we had the fold of our card faced towards us so that baby's heel was already in the correct position.
RESULTS:
And here's what went down the rest of the time :)
