How to Make a Homemade Baby Thank You Card
There is nothing more special to someone than a handmade token of their affection. Making your own handmade baby thank you cards is easy and will let others know that you cared enough to personalize their thank you card. You can use your baby's footprint to personalize the thank you cards in a fun and unique manner.
Items needed:
- Blank invitations
- Stamper pad (pink or blue)
- Five inches of ribbon that matches the stamper
- Purchase the materials that you will need to make your invitations such as blank invitations, a stamper pad in the appropriate color depending on if your baby is a boy or a girl, five inches of ribbon for each card in a color that matches the color of the stamper that you are purchasing.
- Make room to lay out all of your invitation on a flat surface as you create them so that they can dry thoroughly without being touched so that the ink does not become smeared.
- Push your baby's foot down into the stamper pad and then press it out on a blank piece of paper so that you can determine how much pressure needs to be used to make the perfect footprint. Once you have mastered the art of making footprints with your baby’s foot move on to step four.
- Place your baby's foot on the front of each blank envelope. Be sure to center the footprint on the card, leaving enough room to attach your ribbon to the top of the card.
- Repeat this process until you have added a single footprint to the front of each baby thank you card.
- Allow the cards to dry for about an hour.
- Tie your ribbons into small bows and place them neatly in a pile.
- Plug in a hot glue gun and allow it to heat up thoroughly.
- Apply a small amount of glue to the back of one of the bows and then place on the top, center of your thank you card above your footprint.
- Repeat the process until you have attached bows to all of your baby thank you cards.
