Mistle Toes & Footprint Snowman Cards

These are so cute when you have a little one around the house! We made these in 2020 when my daughter was one-year-old and I still love them and hang them up every Christmas! These simple and easy baby and toddler crafts are fun art projects with kids and is a fantastic idea for baby’s first Christmas! It makes excellent grandparent, godparent, aunt, uncle, cousin, and friend gifts.

When I made this one, I also made two more so that both sets of grandparents could be gifted these for Christmas! I personally love this footprint craft more than any other – they’re only small for so long.

How to Make the Best Mistle Toes

1). With a paint brush, paint both feet with the green paint. Paint the canvas with the footprints and let dry.

2). Using a paint brush, red paint, and green paint, paint circular balls scattered throughout the canvas. Let dry.

3). Dab some hot glue on a couple of the balls and then spread some glitter on it. Let dry.

4). Use hot glue to affix the snowflake stickers to the canvas. Stick the “Mistle Toes” stickers across the bottom of the canvas board.

5). Cut thin red ribbon and hot glue it from the tip of the bottom of the footprint, up to the top of the canvas. Cut and tie bows with the thicker, silky red ribbon. Use hot glue to affix the bows to the tips of the bottoms of the footprints, overlaying on the thinner ribbon. Glue a piece of string to the back of the canvas to hang.

6). With a black fine tip Sharpie marker, write the name and date.

How to Make the Best Footprint Snowman Cards

1). Use a paint brush to paint the foot white. Carefully place it in the center, on the piece of blue paper. Lift the painted foot straight up and wash the paint off. Make sure to leave at least an inch or so on both the top and bottom of the footprint. Let the paint dry.

2). With a black Sharpie marker, write: “My Love for you” on the top of the footprint. Write: “Will Never Melt!” beneath the footprint.

3). Use red paint to paint a hat and scarf. Use brown paint to paint stick arms. Use orange paint or an orange marker to paint or mark the carrot nose. Use a black marker to dot the eyes and mouth. Let the paint dry.
