Handprint Baby Jesus In A Manger Keepsake Printable

Today my son and I made Baby Jesus In A Manger craft come to life, by using his handprint and a keepsake printable I recently designed. I think it turned out super cute and it was really easy to make, especially since the printable I designed, made it come together so nicely!

Couldn’t see this frame in a beautiful gold frame and displayed as Christmas decor?

So friends… think of this idea as a cute gift sentiment, your child can make for someone special today. The free printable can be accessed below and all you need to do is add the handprint “straw” and a little baby Jesus to the center, with some cardstock.

Happy crafting and gifting, my friends!!! Don’t forget to FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK so you never miss a new tutorial from us this holiday season!
