Today’s “I Love You Watts” post is a great way to capture how little hands in time, on paper, forever.

Not to mention, the free “handprint light bulb” keepsake printable that you will find below, makes for a great handmade gift idea to give to someone who brightens your child’s day!

Just download, print and add a simple yellow handprint to the center!

It’s a simple saying but it makes a BIG impact. I LOVE YOU WATTS! Perfect for 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 download 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.

You won’t believe how simple it is to create this Handprint Light Bulb craft! Find the complete tutorial and the FREE to use download below.

Happy crafting, my friends! Please don’t forget to share pictures with us of your creations or of the lucky receiver holding it! Not only are spreading good cheer to the one who receives it, when you share pictures with me, it makes my day too!  #gluedtomycrafts
