We took the traditional Christmas saying, “Kiss Me Under the Mistletoe,” and changed it to, “Kiss Me Under My Mistletoes,” because little feet are so cute. I’m sure you will love this keepsake holiday footprint craft.

Kiss Me Under My Mistletoe Footprint Craft
DIRECTIONS
Watch our video to craft along with us or continue below. The directions are also included with the free template so you can download and print them.
Make one footprint per foot on white paper and let them dry. For Babys foot, we actually made a whole page of footprints and then picked out our favorite ones to craft with. Making footprints can get a little messy so have baby wipes or paper towels on hand.
Cut out the footprints. We like to leave a small white edge around them.
Glue footprints to the craft template with the heels at the top and toes pointed down towards the bottom of the page. We used glue dots to make it quick, easy, and neat (no glue puddles) since we were planning on framing our craft.
Glue bows on. Again, we used glue dots.
Your craft is done. You can choose to put them in a frame or turn them into a card by attaching a piece of paper to the back. Whatever you choose I hope you have fun making them and a happy holidays! Thanks for crafting with us.
