Pinterest Project #5

For the first time in a long time I decided to make a New Year's Resolution for myself to complete some of those thousands of Pinterest projects that I've been pinning. My goal was to complete one project a week and because I am  such a go-getter, I have managed to complete 4. Yup 4, and it's been 8 months.

Anywho, I had purchased the items necessary to make the butterfly footprint painting (link) that has been floating around for a while and just hadn't gotten around to completing it until last week. Both kids were dirty and stinky from being outside and needed showered anyway, so I thought what a good time to get their feet covered in paint!

Since I was also covered in paint I didn't get pictures of them helping to create the pictures. But, here are a few pictures of the project through it's different stages. (I apologize for the horrible pictures, but you'll get the idea.)

The beginning, 2 blank canvases that were painted already painted white for a base.

I've read where other's have painted onto their feet, I found this easier.

I like to use 2 colors so they are more symmetrical, anal I know.

Add the antennae, a body, their name and...

viola!

I love them! They turned out so cute, and I know in a few short years I look up and them and remember just how little they used to be! :0)
