In honor of my son’s upcoming sixth birthday {seriously – where did the time go?} I recently pulled together this Handprint Birthday Keepsake printable and I thought I would share it with all my AWESOME readers on Glued To My Crafts!

Whether you use it to mark a special birthday occasion OR you use it for a “just because” moment, I hope it comes in handy for you!

It’s super simple to pull together {even for the non-crafty parent} so I hope you download the FREE printable below and make sweet memories with it! Remember – this is also perfect to gift away to grandparents and friends far away!!!

Happy crafting my dear friends! Please don’t forget to share pictures of your birthday inspired handprint keepsake on our Facebook page to admire. You have no idea how much it makes my heart skip a beat, when I see the inspiration come to life in your home!
