Handprint Work Gloves - A Creative Gift Idea For Kids To Make

Handprint Work Gloves & Poem – A Creative Gift Idea For Kids To Make

Our handprint work gloves themed gift idea is one that can be given to anyone, anytime of the year. Pair it some tools or a home improvement gift card and you have an instant present that is sure to be well loved by the receiver!

Although I originally came up with this gift tag poem printable idea for Father’s Day, if you have someone in mind who is a gardener or a handy dandy fixer around the house, they are going to love receiving this handmade idea. I could even see this idea being used for a housewarming gift!

To complete this DIY, all you need is a basic pair of cloth work gloves, fabric paint and of course, the free poem file found below, that really ties it all together. Kids will love making and sharing their creations, so don’t click away just yet. Make it happen today and find all the details below!

Happy crafting and gifting, my dear friends! Don’t forget to share pictures with us! #gluedtomycrafts

Directions:

  • First we are going to work on the gloves. Pull them out and lay them on a flat surface that can get messy.
  • Squirt your fabric paint on a paper plate.
  • Decide where you are going to place the handprints on the gloves. I did ours on the outside but you can also do the palms of the gloves instead. At this point in time, you should explain to your child what to do, where to place their hand etc. I found it’s easier to talk about it BEFORE you place the paint on their hand, versus that short period of time you have to work with while the paint is still wet on their palms. Fabric paint tends to dry faster when it hits the skin so you will need to work faster than normal.
  • Now go ahead and one hand at a time, use a paint brush to paint it completely {whatever color you like} and press it flatly, on the surace of the work gloves.
  • Before they lift up their hand, be sure to press it down gently {but firmly} and jiggle each finger so the paint really sticks to the gloves.
  • Then, if you need too, use the same paint brush and a little remaining paint to fill in any missing spots that might have not filled in all the way.
  • Repeat for the other glove but use the opposite hand.
  • Use baby wipes and a quick trip to the sink to remove excess fabric paint from hands.
  • Set aside and let your work gloves dry completely. This is where I suggest you print out our free printable to pass the time.
  • So go ahead and click on the link listed above in the supply.
  • Save the file to your computer.
  • Now go find the file on your computer, right click it and print it in color, on a single sheet of white cardstock.
  • Have children sign their name in the provided space and decorate the paper if they want to.
  • When ready, pair the poem and decorated work gloves together & gift away proudly!

For the lucky receiver to enjoy their gloves for years to come – I highly recommend {if they need to} to HAND-WASH these in cold water.
