Love You Watts Lightbulb Craft
Check out our handprint light bulb craft where we make a keepsake for a dear loved one. It would be great gift idea!
It’s a simple saying but it makes a BIG impact. I LOVE YOU WATTS!
Those simple four words are perfect to say to anyone, any day of the year. Think Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, grandparents, teachers, friends – whoever! I feel like it’s such a blanket statement for ANYONE who makes a good impact in your child’s life.
Today’s crafty kid craft idea is a simple piece of artwork that can be treasured for years to come. Our keepsake craft is perfect for framing and/or turning into a large paper card. Just click the provided file below, print it out in the comfort of your home and add your child’s handprints {or baby footprints} to complete the “rays” of sunlight from the light-bulb. That’s it!
You seriously won’t believe how simple it is to create this Handprint Light Bulb craft and you will wonder why you wait this one! So don’t delay – find the complete tutorial & the FREE to use printable below. Happy crafting, my friends!
