this idea came from crystal in an email to me.
thanks so much!
super easy but SUPER DUPER cute!
we started with these ornaments from target.
they are big.
i loved the colors so i picked these.....but any glass ball ornaments would work.
i did this one child at a time....you'll see why.
first i painted their hand with regular craft paint.
set the ornament in the middle of their flat palm....fingers out.
slowly have them close their hand so an entire handprint is made.
make sure they don't move their fingers....just close their hand.
then they slowly take their fingers off the ornament.
set it somewhere to dry.
then you can choose if you want to yell at your child ......
"DON"T TOUCH ANYTHING! GO WASH YOUR HAND AND DON"T USE MY GOOD TOWEL TO DRY IT!"
or not.
let the white paint dry....we waited overnight....just to be safe.
then use a Sharpie to add faces.
we used a glue gun and cut out tiny little scarves.
we didn't have black felt or we would've made hats too.
and they add snow falling also.
i think they are about the cutest ornaments i have ever seen.
then write their name and date on the palm and you created a keepsake!
have fun.
