This first year with the boys I really wanted to do something special for the new grandparents and great-grandparents. I hope they love this project as much as I do!
Pretty simple in concept, although inking and printing hand- and footprints of two five-month-olds by yourself without getting ink everywhere... almost impossible!
The idea was to have the hands and/or feet be in the shape of a heart. It wasn't as blatantly recognizable as I had hoped, so I just outlined it. This could work with just one baby, just with both hands, and could probably work with siblings of similar ages, too.
Make sure to use toxic-free ink, as it is inevitable some will end up in baby's mouth.
The frames I found at a thrift shop; I love funky frames and each one was specially picked out to match a specific Mom we love!!! Quick project and one that is usually well-received. Who doesn't like baby prints???
Happy Mother's Day weekend to one and to all!!!
