So on that note, if you are looking for a SUPER adorable muffin craft for kids to make and gift to someone special in their life {maybe for Teacher Appreciation Week or even Valentine’s Day!} this particular handprint craft idea is the one to bookmark & do ASAP!

Today we are going to help YOU and your child make an adorable Handprint “I’d Be MUFFIN without you” Keepsake Idea within minutes. All you need is paper, some craft paint and our free provided printable to complete it. Not to mention, it’s great for ALL ages to recreate!

It’s going to be the CUTEST paper muffin craft you can make ANY day of the year. Whether for a Mother’s Day gift or just because “pick me up” moment – I’m sure there is someone in your child’s life who would LOVE to receive this muffin keepsake. On that note, keep scrolling for ALL the details and free file!

Directions:

  • First things first, if you haven’t already, print out our “I would be muffin without you” file {listed above in the supply list} on a single sheet of white cardstock paper.
  • Next up – grab the craft paint, paint brush and paper plate.
  • Squirt a small amount of paint on the paper plate.
  • Dip the paint brush in the paint.
  • Now pick a hand – any hand!
  • Go ahead and paint the palm & fingers of your child’s hand completely.
  • Working quickly, press the painted hand in the center of the printable, right on top of the cupcake liner design. Be sure to wiggle each finger so the paint really transfers to the paper.
  • Now gently lift up their hand to reveal the handprint design underneath.
  • Grab a few baby wipes to clean off excess paint and head to the sink for a good scrubbing as well.
  • When done cleaning up, it’s time to finish the keepsake! Grab the black Sharpie marker and draw on some squiggles around the handprint to make the “muffin top.”
  • Go ahead and also take the crayon & color in the blank spots to fill it all in {you can also add some black dots to give the muffin some texture.}
  • At this point in time you can also add other embellishments you see fit {like some stickers or glitter glue!}
  • Then gift or display your paper muffin keepsake masterpiece proudly!
  • Don’t forget to snap a few pictures of your finished paper and handprint muffin keepsake on your phone and tag us on your social media sites! #gluedtomycrafts

Some Last Notes:

  • If you don’t have a printer to take advantage of our free file, no worries! You can always hand-draw a basic cupcake liner shape on some cardstock paper and use small scrapbook letter stickers for the lettering instead!
  • BTW – if you don’t want to do a painted handprint for the muffin top, you can also make a PAPER one instead! Just trace and cut out a handprint design, that you glue down right above the liner. The choice is yours on this cute DIY.
