1. To make one, first cut a 4- by 12-inch rectangle from a piece of decorative scrapbook paper and fold it in half to create a double-layer 4- by 6-inch rectangle.
2. Form the collar by cutting 2 matching 1-inch-long horizontal slits about 1 inch below the fold.

Footprint crafts are always cute!
Here is a cute poem to go along with one:
Footprints
“Walk a little slower daddy,” said a child so small. “I’m following in your
footsteps and I don’t want to fall.
Sometimes your steps are very fast,
Sometimes they’re hard to see;
So walk a little slower, Daddy,
For you are leading me.
Someday when I’m all grown up,
You’re what I want to be;
Then I will have a little child
Who’ll want to follow me.
And I would want to lead just right,
And know that I was true;
So, walk a little slower, Daddy,
For I must follow you.”

Go at least half way down through base and wiggle it back and forth a little to widen. Bake on a cookie sheet for 2 - 2.5 hours or air dry overnight.
Paint the base whatever color you like and let dry.
