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 friends!!!

Birthday Keepsake Craft Supplies:

* Free Template Printable {download HERE}
* White Cardstock
* Color Printer
* Craft Paint {we used orange}
* Paint Brush
* Scrapbook Number Stickers
* Paper Plate
* Baby Wipes
* Marker
optional – embellishments like glitter, rhinestones etc.

Directions:

* First download the Birthday Printable. Print in color on white cardstock {or on any color cardstock you like!}
* Grab your craft paint. Paint your child’s hand completely and press it in the center of the printable. Use a baby wipe on your child’s hand to remove the remaining craft paint.
* Set aside your handprint keepsake to let it dry completely.
* Then add other embellishments to give your Birthday Keepsake piece a personalized look {like a number sticker in the palm of the handprint} as well as having children sign the bottom. Then display/gift proudly!
