I love making crafts with Lil Man that can be incorporated into my everyday decor.
Depending on the material, they can become great keepsakes and long-lasting items for our home, for years to come.
This vibrant colored fall handprint tree is not only perfect for fall decorations – but you could make it for any season of the year or just have them go crazy with colors for their own special touch.
Our canvas is mainly Lil Man’s handprints, but you could also do a “family” tree where everyone’s handprints get involved in the making. Even pets can add a paw-print to the tree. #gluedtomycrafts
Below is how you and your child, can make your own fall themed handprint tree:
Handprint Fall Tree Craft Supplies:
* Large Blank Canvas
* Craft Paint in Various Colors
* Paint Brush
* Paper Plate
* Baby Wipes
* Person with Cute Tiny Hands 🙂
Directions:
First paint the trunk of your fall tree on the canvas. This will give you can idea of where the handprints from your child will need to go.
Next up – paint your child’s hand completely in choice of color and have them press them on the canvas.
Repeat until your tree is full of “leaves.” Be sure to alternate your colors and placement of the handprints on the canvas.
Then to finish it off – add some personalization to your canvas, to make it your own. I added this owl felt sticker to the canvas. He’s just “whoo’ing” around in our tree. Cute, right?!
Then of course, let it all dry and add your child’s age/dates on the back for remembrance. display proudly 🙂
What other ways do you like to in-cooperate your family into crafts? Another personal favorite of mine is my Handprint Flower Potholders {Mother’s Day Gift Idea} post! It goes viral every year!!! #gluedtomycrafts
