• Have children place glue dots on the back of each rhinestone and then place them in the center of the “handprint tree” to give it a personalized ornament look.
• Once your child has the look they like, cut out a small simple star from the yellow cardstock and add it to the top of your tree.
• At this point, you can either add more customization {like stickers, buttons and/or sequins} or go straight to personalizing the inside so you can mail it right away.
