HOW TO MAKE IT :

  • Pre-heat oven to 250 degrees.
  • In a mixing bowl, add the water, salt, and flour to combine. Knead with your hands to get it all smooth. Use a rolling pin and roll it out flat.
  • Have your child press their foot into the dough then use a knife and cut around the edges.
  • Bake in the oven for 2 hours then let them cool. Once cooled, paint them with brown acrylic paint. Let them dry a bit and put together the antlers with pipe cleaners.
  • Hot glue the pipe cleaners on the back and the nose. Use black puff paint or sharpie for the mouth and eyes. Make a loop for the ribbon and hot glue that to the back as well.
  • Finish with a coat of mod podge or a clear coat spray to seal it.

NOTES

If the dough is a little sticky add a little flour to get a easy to work with consistency otherwise your child’s foot will get stuck and the print isn’t as clear.
