What better way to show your dad how much you love them than with this adorable keepsake idea? It’s the perfect way to keep a special memory forever!
Handprint Hooked On Daddy Printable
Father’s Day is right around the corner and I have yet ANOTHER keepsake idea that is PERFECT to make in honor of grand ole’ dad!
Inspired by my other Hooked On Daddy Canvas Idea that went viral a few years ago – I was inspired to make a printable to make it even easier for YOU to pull it together with ease {especially those in preschools and daycares!}
All you need to do is download my FREE Hooked On Daddy Keepsake Printable below, print on blue cardstock and add your child’s sweet little handprint in the center. Then finish off with a drawn on “hook” and you have an instant gift idea that can be placed in a frame or given as is!
So let’s “swim” to it! Find everything you need to know in the full tutorial below!
Happy crafting, my dear friends! Don’t forget to share pictures with us afterwards, on our Facebook page so we can give you a virtual high five from a far! Be sure to give us a follow on Pinterest, so you never miss a new tutorial from us!
