5 Uncomplicated Halloween Keepsake Ideas

Handprint Halloween Canvas Ideas

In this post, I’ve pulled together some past Halloween keepsake ideas that we have made in honor of the “spook-tacular” holiday. My main focus today is to spark some last minute creativity in you and your child! All of which I hope don’t come across as overly complicated!

Like the title of this very blog post suggests – there are FIVE different versions and ways to in-cooperate painted footprints & handprints into awesome Halloween keepsake ideas! Mainly they start with just some paint on a hand {or foot} that you press in the center of the canvas and then decorate the print to make it come to life as witch, pumpkin, ghost or even spider!

Each painted keepsake idea that you will find below in this small craft collection, is perfect to use as decor in your home OR gift them to friends & family afar this season! Best part? They can be stored away easily and pulled out, year after year!

Please use my pictures below as inspiration to create your own masterpieces with your child today! All of which can be easily recreated with items found at your local craft store. Just grab a large canvas, some craft paint and your child to let their creative juices flow as they turn their blank piece into a MASTERPIECE!

Well friends – I’ll let you get to it! Happy crafting and if you decide to recreate any of these Halloween canvas ideas, come share pictures of what you make on our Facebook page to admire! #gluedtomycrafts

Handprint My Lil Pumpkin Halloween Keepsake Idea

Paint a jack-o-lantern pumpkin and add a handprint to create a stem! This is probably my favorite since you can skip the jack-o-lantern features and go for a more neutral fall theme instead!

Footprint Witch Halloween Keepsake Canvas Idea

Turn a simple footprint into a witch by drawing on a head, arms and a broom! We also have a paper handprint version of this particular craft!

Handprint Mama's Lil Monster Halloween Keepsake Canvas Idea

Daddy’s little monster – just a painted green handprint with lots of wiggle eyes and teeth! Similar – I also turned some handprint cutouts into monster puppets recently!

Handprint Ghost - Halloween Keepsake Idea

Probably the easiest of them all – turn a simple white handprint into a ghost by drawing on circular eyes & a mouth!

Trick or Treat Footprint Ghost Keepsake Idea For Halloween

Another ghost themed keepsake – Footprint Ghosts!

And for added fun on this particular blog post – here are some throwbacks to when my son was about a year old!
