Continuing on with the Snoopy goodness of earlier today – here is the PERFECT Christmas keepsake idea that is sure to be an iconic piece that will be cherished for years to come!!!

The true meaning of Christmas isn’t about a picture perfect tree or elaborate expensive gifts. It’s all about HOPE and that’s exactly what I think about when I think about the story of Charlie Brown & his Christmas Tree.

So without further ado – here is how YOU can make this Handprint Charlie Brown Christmas Tree Keepsake with your child today! It’s perfect for displaying in your home or gifting away to grandparents to holiday season. Whatever you do – happy creating my friends!!! By the way – find the Charlie Brown Christmas Tree Movie through our AFFILIATE LINK!

Christmas Canvas Supplies:

* Blank Canvas {affiliate link}
* Craft Paint {green, red, brown, tan}
* Paper Plate
* Paint Brush
* Baby Wipes

Directions:

* First squirt your various colors of craft paint on a paper plate.
* Next paint your child’s hand completely green and press it down on the canvas.
* Now paint a thin tree trunk coming from the palm of the handprint to some wood crosses {what is holding the tree up}
* To finish off the Handprint Charlie Brown Christmas Tree Keepsake – add a red Christmas ball coming from the green handprint and add a dot pattern around the canvas’s edge to give it a festive look.
* Then let it all dry completely before displaying {don’t forget to add your child’s name/age/date to the back to remember when it was made!}
