Supplies for Footprint Mermaid Keepsake
- White Cardstock
- Various colors of paint
- Paint Brushes
- Baby Wipes
- Paper Plate
- School Glue
- Small Rhinestones
Directions:
First is the footprint for the body and tail of the mermaid. Simply paint your child’s foot and press it in the center of a single sheet of white cardstock.
Now take a small paint brush and paint the remainder of the mermaid’s body, head and hair coming from the footprint. Be sure to paint on any other embellishments you like at this point in time. Once done, set aside to let it all dry completely.
To finish the Footprint Mermaid – glue on some small rhinestones all over the “mermaid tail” to give it a one-of-a-kind embellished look. Then display and/or gift away proudly!
