We love making keepsakes and have made a huge collection over the years. I honestly could never have too many!

How to make a footprint heart
1. Draw or trace a heart onto contact paper and cut it out. The heart needs to be large enough to fit your babies footprints inside.
2. Stick the heart shape in the centre of your canvas and paint the rest of the canvas in your chosen colour.
3. Wait for the paint to dry and then remove the contact paper. this will leave a white heart shape on your canvas.
4. Paint your babies feet and then print them in the heart shape. Put your babies heels towards the bottom of the heart at an angle to create a footprint heart shape.
Wait for the heart footprints to dry and then hang up your beautiful heart footprint canvas!
This beautiful footprint heart was made using my daughter Daisy's footprints when she was 5 months old and we still have it hanging up years later!
