How to Create Fall-Inspired Baby Keepsakes
Freeze those tiny toes and hands in (fall) time.
Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble... as autumn approaches, it's a time for nostalgia and seasonal traditions. It's no surprise that you want to capture every moment—and every season—with your baby.
You can capture every moment in a subscription photo book or Classic Photo Book, and you can also capture the absolutely perfection that is your baby's tiny toes and fingers with these fall-inspired baby keepsakes.
These these simple, at-home fall baby keepsake ideas for autumn-inspired pieces you can decorate your home with for years to come.
Combine flour, salt and water to make a dough you can mold with your hands. Flatten the dough, then press your baby's hands and feet into the dough, making a handprint and footprint.
Cut around the shape of your baby's foot, and add a hole at the bottom by the heel.
For baby's handprint, cut around the shape of the hand, adding the shape of a stem at the top (by their fingertips). Add a hole to the side of the stem.
Place your dough molds on an aluminum-lined baking sheet. Paint the entirety of the footprints with white paint (then add a smiley face with black paint), and the pumpkins with orange paint (make those pumpkin stems brown!).
Bake in the oven until the molds harden, then remove. Once the molds cool, loop string through the holes and tie to create keepsake ornaments.
Violà! Now you can always remember their tiny toes and feet, and break out these sentimental keepsakes for every year to come. Don't forget to snap pics of them and add to your subscription photo books, or printing a Classic Photo Book. You'll be happy you took the time to take photos of your always-getting-bigger little one!
