Baby Footprint Plaque Tutorial
{Featuring Mod Podge, of course}
I had grand plans of having this project completed before Father’s Day so that I could share this gift idea with y’all, but Baby W had different plans this week–better late than never, right?!
Here is what you will need to make your very own
Baby Footprint Keepsake Plaque:
Supplies:
Wooden Plaque {@ Michael’s for about $2 or less}
Your little ones foot print on scrapbook paper
Acrylic Paint {or spray paint}
Mod Podge {I used the matte finish}
Scissors
Paint brush
Sand Paper {not pictured}
STEP ONE:
Use the acrylic paint to get a footprint from your babe.
Good luck getting a decent footprint of your squirmy little bundle of joy.
I got about 20 like this before I got one that was half way decent:
This one looks like Baby W has 3 inch toes.
Paint the edges of your plaque the color of your choice {I used black}. No need to paint the middle of the plaque since it will be covered by the paper.
STEP TWO:
Now you have to cut the scrapbook paper with the footprint on it to be the correct size to mount on your plaque. This is the tricky part. Because the plaque has a bevelled edge you can’t easily trace the outline.
So here is a helpful technique I have learned. Flip over the paper with your footprint on it and place it directly onto the spot on the plaque that you want it. Now, grab a crayon and color over all the edges of the plaque. The EXACT edge of the plaque will show up the darkest in crayon.
Now, cut out your paper along those dark crayon lines for a perfect outline.
STEP THREE:
Apply a generous amount of Mod Podge to the surface of your plaque and then place your footprint cut out on top. Smooth out all the bubbles.
Notice that the edges won’t be perfect and glue may be dripping down the sides.
This is OKAY.
Before applying the top layer of Mod Podge take your sandpaper and sand down the rough edges of paper and dripping glue.
I also sanded the edges of the plaque to give it a distressed look.
STEP FOUR:
Once you have finished sanding, apply the top layer of Mod Podge to the entire surface of your plaque. Don’t worry if it looks foggy and/or white from the Mod Podge–the Mod Podge will dry clear.
And here you have it:
I put my plaque on a photo stand, but you could also apply ribbon to the back and hang it {like I did in my door hanger tutorial}.
Now try to find the perfect place in your house to display your cutie-patootie wittle footsy wootsy.

There are actually plenty of details like that to take into consideration. That could be a nice level to convey up. I provide the thoughts above as basic inspiration but clearly there are questions just like the one you bring up where an important thing might be working in trustworthy good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged round issues like that, but I am positive that your job is clearly recognized as a good game. Each girls and boys really feel the impact of only a moment?s pleasure, for the rest of their lives.

I have realized some important matters through your site post. One other thing I would like to state is that there are many games out there designed mainly for toddler age young children. They involve pattern recognition, colors, dogs, and patterns. These typically focus on familiarization as opposed to memorization. This makes children and kids occupied without having the experience like they are studying. Thanks

The next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as a lot as this one. I mean, I know it was my choice to learn, but I actually thought youd have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you can repair if you werent too busy on the lookout for attention.

Interesting article. It is unfortunate that over the last ten years, the travel industry has had to tackle terrorism, SARS, tsunamis, bird flu virus, swine flu, as well as the first ever real global recession. Through it the industry has proven to be effective, resilient plus dynamic, discovering new tips on how to deal with misfortune. There are generally fresh troubles and opportunities to which the sector must once more adapt and act in response.
