PAIR THIS ICE CREAM KEEPSAKE IDEA WITH —> Cupcake Liner Ice Cream
Supplies:
* Large Blank Canvas – any size you want!
* Craft Paint {pick a theme, a favorite color – whatever your heart desires!}
* Small Paper Plate
* Paint Brushes
* Baby Wipes
Directions:
* First squirt your various shades of craft paint on a paper plate.
* Depending on the look you like, you can either free-style the ice cream cone OR use your child’s footprint as the cone. Regardless of what direction you take, the cone is a great starting point.
* Next paint your child’s hand and press it down on the canvas {near the ice cream cone} to give the look of ice cream.
* Repeat for how many layers you want/the look you like.
* Use baby wipes to remove excess paint from your child’s hands {with a quick trip to the sink as well!}
* If desired, add other embellishments you see fit {like a cherry on top, sprinkles or even a fun dot pattern around the canvas}
* Set aside to let it dry completely.
* Then display your finished handprint ice cream canvas and/or gift it away proudly!
