1. Footprint Ghost Keepsake Canvas
There is nothing sweeter than the tiny, fleeting size of a newborn’s feet. Capture this beautiful moment in time with a classic footprint ghost keepsake. To create this adorable DIY, you will need a small pre-stretched canvas, non-toxic white acrylic paint, a black fine-tip paint marker, and a background color of your choice, such as deep purple or midnight black. Start by painting the canvas your background color and letting it dry completely. Gently apply the white paint to your baby’s foot using a soft foam brush, ensuring even coverage. Press their foot firmly onto the canvas. Once the paint is dry, use the black marker to draw two tiny eyes and an open mouth on the heel portion of the footprint, transforming it into a friendly little ghost. This timeless keepsake is perfect for displaying on your mantel year after year.
