While baby boy isn’t quite ready to join us for this Christmas, I’ve been swooning over all of the adorable “Baby’s 1st Christmas” stuff I’ve been seeing everywhere. I’m resisting the urge to pick up an outfit for next year since he’ll be 11 months old & I have no idea what size he’ll be wearing, so in the meantime I thought I’d share this adorable and easy DIY Baby’s First Christmas Ornament Craft!
DIY Baby’s First Christmas Ornament
Items Needed:
Christmas Bulb Ornament
Tacky Glue
Glitter
Directions:
1. On a piece of paper, draw an outline of your little ones feet (or you can use a ink pad, and stamp an outline).
2. Cut out the outline and trace it onto the Christmas bulb.
3. Fill in the outline with tacky glue and coat in glitter. Tap off any excess glitter and allow to dry for 24 hours.
As you can see it’s super simple {as long as you can wrangle your little one long enough to get their footprint!} but so cute!

This is such a cute idea! I would do it then put it in a clear box to display it year round. I would be to afraid it would get broken. What a neat gift to pass on to your child for their first tree. Love it!
