Baby's 1st Christmas Handprint Craft
My First Christmas baby handprint or footprint craft. A perfect keepsake or gift to remember baby's first Christmas by.
Cost: $
Materials
- Printed My First Christmas printable (best printed on cardstock)
- Green or red tempera paint
- Paint brush or sponge
- Scissors
Instructions
- Print the My First Christmas printable in either green, red, or both. Printing on cardstock paper works best so it is sturdier and the paint doesn’t go through the paper.
- Paint your baby’s hand or foot. Make sure to get all the way to the fingertips and cover the whole palm.
- Press the hand below the bow on the paper. Make sure to press each of the fingers down so you get a good print.
- Touch up the print using a paint brush or your finger. Be careful when doing this so you don’t make it obvious that you touched it up.
- Allow to dry overnight.
- Once the paper is fully dry, cut along the line to cut out the artwork.
- Frame your craft in a 5×7 and display it or give it as a gift.
Notes
-Make sure to use tempera paint because it can wash off easily and is safe for kids.
-Print multiple copies before starting the craft. It’s very likely you’ll need to try a couple times before you get the perfect handprint or footprint.
