Footprint Piggies Keepsake Card

Welcome friends! I’m so glad you landed on today’s Little Piggies – Footprint Card Keepsake post!

It’s been awhile since I’ve shared something for the grandparents on the Glued To My Crafts Blog – so today I’m putting a stop to that madness!

Today’s piggie themed craft tutorial was actually a spur-of-the-moment idea and I’m so glad I took the time to create it with my son.

Since we are military, we live pretty far away from both our families so footprint crafts like this, is extra special to send to the grandparents.

Sides that – crafts like these are just the best to do at this age anyways. With kids growing so fast, it’s great to create keepsakes to remember those once tiny feet!

So what are you waiting for? Grab your supplies and set up shop to make this “Little Piggies” Footprint Pig Card Keepsake to send to the grandparents today. Don’t forget to write a special message inside and of course – make one for yourself too & throw it in a scrapbook for safe keeping!

Happy crafting , my dear friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your footprint “these little piggies” cards on our Facebook page to admire from afar! We can’t wait to see how awesome your child’s little piggy craft turns out! #gluedtomycrafts

Directions:

First things first – squirt some pink craft paint on the paper plate.
Now grab your foam paint brush and dip it into the paint.
Next, pick a foot – any foot! Simply paint the bottom of your child’s foot completely pink and working quickly, press it down in the center of the white cardstock paper.
After wiggling each toe, gently lift up their foot to reveal the print design on the paper.
Clean off excess paint from their foot with a few baby wipes and a quick trip to the sink.
Let the painted footprint design dry completely before moving on.
To give the footprint the look of little piggies – simply draw on eyes, ears and piggie noses with your sharpie markers.
Now trim out the front of the card and glue to a piece of cardstock, that is folded in half.
To finish the card, add your scrapbook stickers to say “These Little Piggies…” on the front.
Then add a special message inside and slip in an envelope for easy mailing!
