You will need:

Construction Paper (you can use construction paper if you can’t find poster board)
Picture frame (I used a 11/14 in frame)
Non-toxic paint (I used watercolor paint)
Scissors
Plastic Tablecloth (to prevent paint getting on your floors)
The Father’s Boot

How to Make Father’s Day picture Frame Craft:

Get your poster board and place your picture frame on top
Use the paper inside of the picture frame as a guide to cut the perfect size for your picture
This is the paper that was originally inside of the picture frame. I used it as a guide to cut my poster board paper.
Now place your cut out poster board into the picture frame to ensure it fits properly

This is the cut out. I managed to cut it perfectly!

Make sure you are using the non glossy side of the poster board so that the paint will easily apply
Now it’s time to paint the bottom of the boot

Here’s how I started to paint the bottom of my hubby’s boot

Paint the most raised parts of the boot so that the paint will transfer to the paper properly

I wanted the colors to be fun and colorful but feel free to use one color if you desire

Once your boot is fully painted, apply one more coat of paint before you press it on your poster board to ensure you get a nice print
Press and hold the boot onto the poster holding the boot firm and pressing it forward and back to make sure the paint comes off nicely
Now it’s time to paint your little human’s foot
Once painted, press and hold your child’s foot where you desire the footprint to be
As a nice touch, I wrote my kids name and age next to their footprint
Feel free to write whatever your heart desires at the top of the picture

Don’t judge my terrible handwriting, but here’s the finished project!

That’s it! I hope you and your child have enjoyed this simple but fun craft together! Comment below if you have any questions.
