There’s no better way to commemorate your child’s feet than with a custom footprint airplane keepsake canvas!
As parents, we treasure those tiny toes and little footprints, don’t we? They remind us of how quickly time flies as we watch our children grow.
One creative and enjoyable way to preserve these ephemeral moments is by crafting a footprint airplane keepsake canvas. It’s not only a fun activity for you and your children but also a personalized piece of art that captures the essence of childhood.
On that note, now is the perfect time to turn those little toes into something to cherish forever and I sure hope you give this tutorial a try today!
Craft Supplies:
- Large Blank Canvas
- Paint Brushes
- Washable Craft Paint
- Small Paper Plate
- Baby Wipes
Directions:
- If you like, use a pencil to mark where you want the heel of footprint to go {maybe even do some test runs on plain paper so you know exactly where you want your plane to be}
- Now make the “wings” of the plane by painting your child’s entire foot & pressing it on the canvas. {repeat for other foot} You will want the heel to be facing inward/towards the body of the plane.
- Next, paint the body of the plane in between the two footprints. Add features to really make it look like a plane.
- If desired – using the bottom end of your paint brush, paint a dotted pattern around the canvas.
- To finish my painted airplane canvas with footprints, I used my finger to lightly mix gray/blue/white to create some clouds on the canvas.
- Once done with your footprint airplane painting, let the paint dry completely before displaying.
- For easy hanging, hot glue ribbon on the back of the canvas. Don’t forget to add your child’s name/age/etc on the back.
