Painted baby footprint plate SO EASY!

This one is super easy and its works great as a decoration around the house and as a gift for family members. Plus it super cheap!

What you'll need:
A plate ($1 at Dollar Tree)
Acrylic or porcelain paint for feet
Porcelain paint pen or Sharpie for letters




The trickiest part about this is getting your little one to stay still!
At first I put paint on a plate and dipped her foot in it but that didn't come out well so I eventually just painted her foot with a small brush (while my husband held her). 
So paint one foot and press it on the plate at an angle (my baby curled her toes up instantly the toes are a little spotty). 
Then repeat with the other foot. 
Then just write the letters on and marvel in the beauty. I found that cursive looked best. 

Then put your plate in the oven (Do not preheat)
Set oven at 300 and bake for 30 minutes


PRESTO! Now you have a precious keepsake for pennies on the dollar. :)
