THE HANDPRINT PENGUIN CARD HOW-TO:
- First things first – simply trace your child’s hand {either left or right} on some simple black cardstock. I recommend using a piece of white chalk for this step.
- Now go ahead and trim out the traced out shape with some basic paper craft scissors.
- Add a white circular cotton pad to the center of the newly cut-out handprint for the penguin’s belly.
- Now add other penguin embellishments {like a cardstock triangle nose and wiggle eyes} to bring him to life!
- Then attach the finished penguin handprint to a premade cardstock card front for easy gifting.
- Finally, write a short message inside the card and mail away! It’s simply easy peasy – just how we like it on Glued To My Crafts!
