DIY Handprint Ornament for Christmas

Christmas· Winter

Create some memories for your tree with this DIY handprint ornament for Christmas.  Add those little hands to an ornament that you can pull out year after year.  I love the memories that come from the box of ornaments for our tree.  I can now add this one to our collection.  See how to make your own version below.

  • Black Disc Ornament
  • White Craft Paint
  • Red Craft Paint
  • Hot Glue and Glue Gun
  • Assorted Pom Poms
  • Google Eyes
  • Holiday Ribbon
  • Round Sponge Brush

diy-handprint-ornament-christmas-consumer-crafts-unleashed-5The most difficult part of this project is actually getting your handprint.  Coat the child’s hand with white paint and lay over the ornament.  It will not be perfect but that is the point of this handmade ornament.  Allow the print to dry completely before continuing.
