I have had great experience with the Salt Dough Footprint Keepsake so I knew this would be an easy and fun craft to do with kids.
Her main grievance is that once the ornaments are completed, they are far too heavy to hang on a Christmas tree so the term "ornament" should be used loosely here. Also, that is why I have labeled this pin as "on the fence." It was a great and fun project to do with her kiddos, but at the same time it wasn't the same as the pin suggested and the use of the "ornament" on a tree is out of the question.
She did say that if you were to add some string and use a suction cup they would look very cute hanging on a window or using a nail on the wall. Her idea now is to do this every year and hang them up as a sort of "growth chart" for each child which I think is a fantastic idea!
