Foot & Handprint Piggies & Paws Ideas

    Clay Prints

    • A clay print provides a simple way to preserve the little hand, foot or paw print of your loved ones. Buy clay or make clay, but use a recipe that dries solid. Clay designed for kids generally stays moist and is easily damageable. Cover your work surface with wax paper and place the clay in the center. Use a rolling pin to roll the clay out to a 1-inch thickness. Cut the clay into a circle or rectangular shape and place the hand, foot or paw directly into the center. Use a knife to write the date and name on the side and set aside to dry. It may take several weeks for the clay to completely dry, depending on the type of clay used.

    Plaster Prints

    • Purchase plaster from a craft store and cover your work space with old newspaper. Poke two holes in the end of an aluminum pie plate and thread a ribbon through it. Tie the ribbon into a bow. Mix the plaster according to the package directions and pour into the pie plate. Rub Vaseline onto the hand, foot or paw and gently press into the plaster. The plaster starts drying fast, so you need to work quickly. Press down for five to 10 seconds and gently pull up. Use a knife to write the name and date on the plaster. Once it dries, you will have a new plaque.

    Print Cards and Tags

    • Lay sheets of construction or craft paper next to a paper plate. Pour a small amount of ink or paint onto the plate. Place the hand or paw into the plate, coating it with paint or ink. Quickly transfer it to the paper and press down. Use smaller sheets of paper for nametags and larger sheets for cards.

    Wreath Ideas

    • Place the hand or paw on a sheet of construction paper and quickly trace around the edges. Use this sheet as a template for other pieces. Cut the first paw or handprint from the paper and place it on different sheets. Trace around the edges and cut each piece from the paper. Arrange the pieces in a large circle, overlapping the edges. Glue the pieces together, creating a wreath.
