This easy, fun, and unique DIY idea is a wonderful way to create customized holiday artworks and introduce your little one as a budding artist, too–one tiny step at a time. Hah! What’s more, this all too adorable art activity can become a yearly tradition for as long as those cute little baby soles can fit on your kraft paper cards!

- Ribbons
- Scissors

Ready to make your vibrant and tot-ful cards for the holidays? Let’s get started by watching the easy-to-follow tutorial video below:
Steps:
- Prepare your materials. Squeeze out some white acrylic paint on your paper plate.
- Gently place your baby’s foot on the white acrylic paint, and make sure to cover the whole sole. Then, press your baby’s painted sole onto the kraft paper.
- Repeat this same process using brown acrylic paint.
- Once you’re done with the footprints, you may start adding Christmas accents and designs using bright and festive colors. For our cards, we decided on reindeer and snowman themes!
- If you plan to use your artworks as gift cards, just cut around the shape of each footprint and then punch a hole at the top center part for the ribbon. Another option is to fold your kraft paper in half, artwork side up, for an instant greeting card!
