Hold My Hand Today But My Heart Forever Keepsake

We absolutely LOVE making and sharing keepsake printables on Glued To My Crafts, especially this time of year!

I’ve been rather busy around here and I have another SIMPLE DIY idea that can be easily framed and turned into a gift on the fly for the upcoming Valentine’s Day holiday.

This Handprint Hold My Hand Today But My Heart Forever w/free printable template is super easy to make within minutes and it’s relatively inexpensive too!

You can also add materials to reflect personality and style, while still keeping the price on the cheap! We are talking CENTS to pull this heart-themed craft together today!

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 “hold my hand” printable template, so all you need to do is print the file, grab some craft paint and have your children add their handprint to complete the craft. It’s so simple, you have NO excuse NOT to do it!

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