Memories To Hold On To

Blogger: Abby Tudela Via Dirt On The Rocks

Hi there, my name is Abby and I blog at Dirtontherocks.com and 

Bigboychronicles.com. Thanks to Marilyn for giving me the 

opportunity to write a guest post on her blog today.

Do you like doing projects with your children that won’t break the bank? 
While browsing Pinterest, I found a great project to do exactly that.

When my son was younger, I had always wanted to keep a mold of his hands 
and feet, instead I opted for a stamp pad and frame from the local arts and crafts store.

I remember shelling out twenty dollars for a small stamp pad and frames, 

which I could have made on my own now that I think about it, 

but at the time it seemed like the best solution.

Here’s an alternative to the ink pad - make your own mold at home!

Ingredients for your Mold:

½ cup of salt½ cup of flour¼ cup of water

Directions:

Knead the ingredients together until a dough forms

Make the impression of the hand or foot and any 

other writing you want included.

Bake the dough for 3 hours under 200 degrees in your oven

There you have it -  you’ve got your mold. Simple, right? 
You can always paint over it if you’d like or add a gloss finish.

You can place it on a mantle, decorate your child’s room, or even 
use it as stepping stones on your front yard. Placing it on a 
canvas for display is also very inexpensive. 
It’s easy and makes a great gift.

There’s definitely nothing better than using what you 
have at home and making an awesome project out of it!
