Santas Footsteps trail visit from Neutradol

jaxxy00

Think this is a great idea from Neutradol carpet shake freshener. In the tub we brought today is a santas footsteps stencil. The idea is, as shown in the instructions, you use the stencil along with the carpet freshener to make snowy footprints. You could do it from the door or the fireplace.

Its a really simple idea but very effective and will certainly get the kids thinking. Me and partner have already planned that we are going to do footsteps from the fire across the room, then up the stairs to our daughters bedroom then leave pressies at the end of the trail. She may be 17 but so what. We can still pretend cant we

If you want to get some theres no need to go looking in the tubs as its clearly marked with a big wide red band round the tub that it contains the xmas santa stencil.

Good for you to have done such a thing, as i had never even thought about something like this before. Thats why i thought it was such a good idea.

I do love the smell of Neutradol though which is why i buy it. Ive stopped buying all the other cleaners and sprays after having learnt from the oldstyle board but when it comes to Neutradol i just cant resist.

i have a friend who does a similar thing but just uses her husband's boots as a template and sprinkles talc or icing sugar around. So if you don't want to go to the expense of buying Neutradol or another carpet freshener you could try this.

yes the same,we put talcum powder out side my daughters room and before we go to bed my husband gets his wellington boots to make footprints. and in the morning my daughter sees and even gets my hubby to put his foot inside the footprint and exclaims"there not yours daddy they must be santas!!!"
