Mother’s Day is this upcoming Sunday {yay!} Have you purchased/made your gift yet? If not – no worries because I want to fuel your creativity with a simple DIY gift you can make with the kids today and have packaged by the weekend!

Giving mom something special on HER day is a time-honored tradition. But no one said it had to be crazy expensive or “hair pulling out” elaborate either. Sometimes just a handmade gift from the heart, is the one that is treasured the most.

With today’s simple Handprint Flower Napkins tutorial, you are sure to make something visually inspiring and loved by the receiver. These napkins are fairly easy to make, really inexpensive and sure to make a lasting impression too! Plus they make for a great keepsake to treasure those adorable hands that were small at one point.

So what are you waiting for? Let’s grab our supplies and wrap up the perfect gift for mom this upcoming holiday!

Supplies:

* White Cloth Napkins
* Fabric Paint {we used pink and purple}
* Green Puffy Paint for decorative leaves/stems
* Paint Brushes
* Baby Wipes
* Paper Plate
* Trash Bags/Newspapers
* Cute Little Hands

Directions:

* First lay your napkins flat on some clean, trash bags or newspapers. This is especially important because the fabric paint will more than likely bleed through to the other side and you don’t want your pretty table to get messed up.
* Then one by one, paint your child’s hands and press them in various areas on the napkins. I did a total of 12 handprints on each napkin, but you may need more or less to get the look you like.
* Now grab your puffy paint and outline some leaves/stems coming from the “flowers.” Remember – this doesn’t have to be perfect.
* Once done, let the paint dry completely before using or storing your napkins.

{I highly recommend handwashing these so they are good to go for years to come!}
