I made this foot wreath with JDaniel to help decorate his grandfather’s hospital room. It was so easy to make.
1.Trace your child’s shoes about 20 -30 times. JDaniel has little feet so; I needed a larger number of tracings.
2.Cut out foot tracings and set aside.
3.Remove the center of a paper plate and cut two holes in the plate to place ribbon through later on.
4.Glue the tracings onto the plate. JDaniel couldn’t do the cutting or the tracing. He could help with the gluing and pat the tracings down.
5.Place the wreath between to plates to dry. It helps keep the wreath shape while the glue is drying.
6.Place stickers on the wreath to decorate. I found these great flowers with stickers on the back. JDaniel had to be closely watched with the flowers. I didn’t want him to chew them. Paper stickers might have been better.
7.Push through the foot tracing above the holes in the plate to create a place to put the ribbon through.
8.Pull the ribbon through and tie a bow. JDaniel was able to help with the pulling through the part.

Looks cute – and a good way to remember how small those feet were at one time:) Thanks for linking to the holiday blog hop!
