Happy crafting, my friends! #gluedtomycrafts

THE HANDMADE 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.

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.

Write a message inside the card and mail away! It’s simply easy peasy – just how we like it on Glued To My Crafts!

Whether you make our handprint penguin idea to mail as #happymail or you decide to slide the finished pieces into a scrapbook for safe keeping – I hope my pictures and short words inspire you! This idea can also be used for framing in a simple frame or even making a full scrapbook page for easy memory keeping. Don’t let the creativity stop you here!
