Handprint My Future Looks Bright Keepsake

It’s easy, fun, and with just a few simple materials you can create a lasting memory of the bright future your little ones have ahead of them. This keepsake craft project isn’t just fun – it’s easy too!

Craft Supplies:

Directions:

  • First things first – you are going to need to print out the provided lightbulb printable. You will need one print per keepsake craft.
  • Now grab your washable yellow craft paint and paper plate.
  • Squirt a small amount on the paper plate. 
  • Next pick a hand. Any hand will do. Paint the palm and the fingers of your child’s hand completely yellow and press it on the printable, right in the center of the lightbulb design. 
  • Now carefully lift up their hand to reveal the handprint design. Use baby wipes to clean off excess paint from their hand. 
  • If desired and while the paint is still wet, shake some loose craft glitter on top of the handprint design for a little extra sparkle.
  • Once done decorating the my future looks bright keepsake, set it aside to let it dry completely.
