Hi my crafty readers! Can you believe Mother’s Day is literally right around the corner? I always get super excited this time of year because I just LOVE the excuse to make some special gifts for family who aren’t near by. I already have a ton of ideas to make/share with you all but today I’m starting the fun with this easy Handprint Flower Bouquet Keepsake Canvas idea.

Not only is this DIY gift idea super simple and inexpensive to pull together – but it also makes for great spring decor or a special gift to mothers and proud grandparents on the upcoming holiday. Best part? You don’t need to be an elaborate artist to recreate this. Just a little imagination and paint will get you there!

So don’t delay – grab those craft supplies today! Then carve some time out of your day to make this beautiful canvas to display proudly in your home and/or gift to someone special. You can even use this idea to make cards or beautiful scrapbook pages. I just hope our post sparks some creativity in you! Happy crafting my friends!

Supplies:

* Large Canvas
* Various Colors of Paint {green being a primary one}
* Paint Brushes
* Paper Plate
* Wipes
optional – scrapbook stickers

Directions:

Between each step – be sure to let the paint dry completely so colors don’t bleed
* First paint your child’s hand and press it down on the center of the canvas. This will be the hand that will hold the flowers.
* Next paint an “arm” coming from the handprint.
* Start painting the flower bouquet coming from the handprint. I first painted some stems and then added the flowers as I went. You can also add as many or as little as you like.
* To finish off the Handprint Flower Bouquet canvas – simply add other embellishments you see fit {like scrapbook stickers, glitter etc} Then display proudly or gift away!
