Hi my crafty friends! With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I figured I would share another SIMPLE keepsake idea that can be easily framed and turned into a gift on the fly. This Handprint Valentine Owl w/free printable template is super easy to make within minutes and it’s relatively inexpensive too!

Change up the colors and added materials to reflect personality and style, while still keeping the price on the cheap! We are talking CENTS to pull it together!

If you have a color printer in your home – you are well on your way to making this DIY come to life and creating a great one-of-a-kind keepsake that anyone can treasure for years to come {plus the finished piece fits nicely in a scrapbook too!}

In this post, I’ve included a FREE Valentine themed owl printable template, so all you need to do is print the file, grab some paint and have your children add their handprints to complete the craft. It’s so simple, you have NO excuse NOT to do it!

Hoot hoot! What are you waiting for? Download the file below and get to work on creating this adorable Handprint Valentine Owl. Then place in a beautiful frame or in a scrapbook for the lucky receiver to enjoy on Valentine’s Day.

I hope you enjoy making it with your child! Happy crafting, my friends! #gluedtomycrafts
