The holidays are a time for family, and if you’re like me, your pets are family too. Why not make a holiday keepsake that celebrates your furry friends and their place in your heart?

A paw print Christmas tree keepsake is a wonderful way to capture a moment in time, preserve memories, and add a personal touch to your holiday décor.

Plus, it’s a fun, simple project that you can enjoy with your pet!

 

Materials You’ll Need

  • Canvas or thick paper
  • Pet-safe, non-toxic paint (green, brown, and yellow)
  • Paintbrushes
  • Towels or pet wipes
  • Frame (optional)

 

Step-by-Step Guide to Your Paw Print Christmas Tree

Step 1: Set Up Your Workspace

You should choose a calm, comfortable spot, then lay down some newspaper or an old sheet to protect the floor from any mess.

In addition, you can have treats on hand to keep your pet calm and rewarded throughout the process.

Step 2: Apply the Green Paw Prints

Now, you gently dip one paw in the green paint, then carefully press their paw onto the canvas to create a paw print.

Start at the bottom, and work your way up in a triangular shape to resemble a Christmas tree.

Step 3: Add the Trunk and Star

Once you have the tree shape with green paw prints, grab your paintbrush.

Add a brown rectangle at the bottom for the trunk of the tree. Then, with yellow paint, place a star at the top of the tree.

 

Step 4: Decorate with “Ornaments”

You can use different colors of paint to add “ornaments” by making small dots around the tree.

If you’re feeling creative, add some sparkly touches or glue on small gems after the paint dries.

For an extra special touch, you can add your pet’s name and the year somewhere on the canvas. This little detail will make the piece timeless, a memory you can look back on year after year.

You could even add a holiday message or other family members’ names if you want everyone to be part of this keepsake.
