Make Your Own Kids Handprint Snowman Christmas Ornament!
Me and my kids enjoy making homemade project, and especially around the Holidays! This year we decided to decorate our tree in homemade ornaments made by their tiny little hands!
Items needed:
- Matte Finish ornaments (any color, we chose to do silver and gold)
- The shiny ones won’t work as well, they smudge too easily and the paint rubs off.
- Washable paint
- I use Crayola Color Wonders paint, can be found at Walmart in-store or online
- Small tipped paint brushes, you will want these to paint their hats and nose
- (1) Black Permanent Sharpie Marker
Directions:
- Step 1: Paint one of your child(ren)’s hand completely white from the palm to the finger tips. We only did the four fingers and not the thumb
- Have them place the palm of their hand on the base of the ornament and then slowly place their fingers around it. Go ahead and press on their hand to make sure it’s touching completely
- Remove their hands and you can take your paint brush and fill in any white spots missing
- Let the ornament sit and dry completely. This will take about 1-2 hours. You want it dried all the way so the marker and paint does not smear into it later.
- After dry, go ahead and use your black permanent marker to draw the face, button and arms on your snowmen
- After that you can finish and add the orange for the carrot nose and add fun colored hats as well! I also added some snowflakes to the sky around it to make it even cuter
- Again, allow to try completely another 1-2 hours for the paint to dry.
- Add an ornament hook and enjoy your kids masterpieces hanging on the tree year after year!
