DIRECTIONS: To complete this “always be yours to hold” craft, the first thing you need to do is print out the provided “heart” file on cardstock paper. You need ONE print per heart craft.

Next up, use basic paper scissors to trim out the heart outline from the paper. Set aside the cutout for now and discard excess paper.

Now use a pencil to trace two handprint outlines on another color of cardstock paper. Use scissors to trim out the two “handprint wings” from the white cardstock paper.

Finally, using a glue stick, secure the two handprint cutouts to the back of the heart cutout. And that’s it! You now have a beautiful and sentimental piece to gift away!

At this point in time you can also add any other embellishments you see fit to really customize your child’s grandparent’s day handprint craft {like some small heart stickers!}
