Once the paint dries, grab a minimally blown up balloon to get to the cutest part- the nose of the reindeer! Dip the tip of the balloon in red paint and dab it to look like the nose of reindeer. Now, it’s time to decorate the canvas with Christmas colored dots, Red,Yellow, Green, orange! Pick the balloon and start dabbing it around the canvas to make it look Christmassy! 

Let that sheet dry and you have one of a kind inexpensive masterpiece to give to family and friends for the Holidays!This Reindeer footprint looks really pretty in a $4 Walmart frame
