Oh my goodness, it's that time again! The holidays bring out the DIY gal in me more than any other time. This week I wanted to do a project with my 6 year old and his cute little feet. I surfed the web to find something worthy of my son's time and came across an adorable picture of a butterfly made of two tiny feet! Yay! I had to make one of my own and that is what I did! Here's my process. Enjoy y'all!

I only have two photo's for this 'ible but I've added lots of detailed instructions so if you've any question just comment. Thanks!

This is the CUTEST idea I've seen in a very long time. Great activity for the kids and for mom, too!

You know... you could use this idea on cardstock and customize it into a Valentine's Day Card for using the rorschach method.

Imagine how adorable it would be using a baby's foot?

I see a new Ible in your future, TabbyDeAnne... and a sweet entry into the Valentine's day Contest!

I totally agree! I'm working on one for grandma right now! Since I've two little boys I was thinking of using one foot from each of them for the wings. The size would be off but I think it would give the butterfly charm! lol. We will see tho. Thanks;)
