Footprint Surfboard Keepsake Card

Footprint Surfboard Keepsake Card – Kid Craft Idea For Summer Fun

Surfboard Footprint Keepsake Card

Today’s post is for my beach loving friends! Not only is this Footprint Surfboard kid craft idea super easy and adorable – but it makes for an AWESOME keepsake card piece to send to the grandparents far away, during the summer months!

To complete this surfer themed keepsake card, simply paint the bottom of your child’s foot and use it as a “stamp” on your cardstock paper. Then after the footprint is completely dry on the paper, you will add a few embellishments to give it the look of a surfboard. It’s super easy – I promise. Don’t let our words {or tutorial pictures} intimidate you though! I’ll tell you the full how-to below!

So on that note, what are we waiting for? Let’s grab our swim trunks, some simple craft supplies and get to work on this TOTALLY awesome surfboard craft idea! I just know you are going to love making it!

Surfs up and happy crafting, my dear friends!!! Please don’t forget to share pictures of your child’s finished footprint surfboard keepsake card, on our Facebook page or tag us on Instagram for us to see there. I can’t wait to see what colors you choose for the surfboard card!  #gluedtomycrafts
