Steps
- Cut out a pair of footprints from our printable template – or get creative and cut out your own shapes and patterns!
- Use the paper cut-out to trace the footprint onto the sponge. We decided to use a dense sponge with a scouring pad on one side.
- Cut the footprints out of the sponge then trim and shape the edges if they’re looking a bit messy.
- Glue the sponge to the jandals using a hot glue gun.
- Roll out a long sheet of brown paper.
- Dip the sponges into a small amount of paint then started making tracks!
We used the Resene colours Outrageous, Cupid, Riptide and Saltpan.
