This easy kids’ craft is perfect for Christmas. Make a set of these handprint napkins to give as a gift, or use them yourself at your holiday table. They’re sure to brighten up the room and put a smile on everyone’s face.
Craft Supplies:
* Plain Cloth Napkins {washed and ironed flat}
* Fabric Paint {we used green, yellow, brown and red}
* Paint Brushes
* Baby Wipes
* Small 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.
*The next step is to decide where and how many handprint trees you want on the napkins. You can do several {just be sure to map it out first hand} or do a single Handprint Christmas Tree like we did.
* Now grab your green paint and completely cover one of your child’s hands with paint.
* Press the painted hand onto the napkin, to make the start of your tree shape.
* Now grab your grab your remaining fabric paints and paint on the other tree embellishments {think stem, ornaments, star etc.}
* Once done, let the paint dry completely before using, storing or gifting away your napkins!
* Don’t forget to share pictures of your custom painted Christmas napkins with us on your social media sites! #gluedtomycrafts
