Being that we do not live near family, I often like to give gifts to the grandparents that are somewhat sentimental from the kids and that can be a keepsake.
And what is the perfect gift that fits all three of those things?
These cute pink glittery hands are from my baby girl. And... do you now how *hard* it was to get a good handprint from my squirmy 8 mo. old?!!

Handprint Ornaments
... too sweet for words.
So here's a few that we have made and given as gifts:
Simple Baby's 1st Ornament:
Supplies:
- Ornaments ( I purchased these from Hobby Lobby). We used the "flat" round bulbs.
- Acrylic paint
- Glitter paint
- Feather boa
I painted Little Sis's hand with pink paint and attempted to make a handprint-- took a couple of tries!
Once it dried, I used some glitter glue to make it sparkle a bit.
And for extra flair I added a pink boa; I couldn't decide which I like better.. the feather inside the ornament or the feathers around the top-- so I made two of each!
My inspiration came from A Sorta of Fairytale's Baby's 1st Ornament.
Handprint Snowman Ornament:
Supplies:
- Ornaments ( I purchased these from Hobby Lobby). We used the "flat" round bulbs.
- Acrylic paint
Using T's fingers we made snowmen!!
I painted my son's palm and four fingers white and he pressed them onto the ornament.
Once the "snowmen" dried, I added hats, noses, mouth, scarf, and buttons with paint.
So stinkin' cute! I don't even want to give them away! But in the spirit of *giving,* ...... I will.
