Handprint Flower Potholders {Mother’s Day Gift Idea}

I’m starting off this busy Monday with a Mother’s Day gift idea that is perfect for little hands to make AND gift this upcoming holiday!

Whether you are planning on making these Handprint Flower Potholders for yourself OR to gift – I’m sure they will be a crowd pleaser! #gluedtomycrafts

I personally LOVE creating keepsakes wih my Lil Man’s handprints. {You have seen so many examples already on my blog}

There is just something about them that makes me melt every time I look at them.

Although, it’s a sad reminder how fast he grows. Us mothers might complain about the sticky handprints on the walls & windows now – but once they are gone we will miss them. {Can you relate?}

So why not capture the “moment” and seal it in with this craft? It only takes a few simple supplies {one of which I picked up at my local Dollar Tree} and an hour of your time! If you plan to gift it, you could even write “thanks for growing with me” in the card.

Check out the FULL tutorial below!!! Happy crafting, my friends!!! #gluedtomycrafts

Handprint Potholder Craft Supplies:
* Potholders {Dollar Tree or through our affiliate link}
* Fabric Paint {affiliate link}
* Paint Brushes
* Paper Plate
* Cute Kid With Hands
* Baby Wipes for easy clean up

Directions:
* First squirt your fabric paint on a paper plate.
* Now go ahead and paint your child’s hand {whatever color you like} and press it, in the center of the potholder.
* Then, if you need too, use the same paint brush and a little remaining paint to fill in any missing spots that might have not filled in all the way.
* If you would like to do a flower {like I did} paint a flower stem right below the handprint.
* Add other embellishments if you like.
* Let your potholders dry completely before using or gifting.
* Enjoy for years to come – I highly recommend HAND-WASHING these :-)

Below is another version using the Oven Mitt instead!

Just follow the same steps as above!!!
