To complete this “handful of love” craft idea, all you need to do is print out the provided file on WHITE cardstock paper. Go ahead and trim out each tag.
Next, kids will trace and cut out their handprints from cardstock paper, then decorate them with fun elements like glitter, heart stickers, and more.
Once the decorations are completely dry, caretakers can “seal” the handprints and the tag together between two pieces of clear contact paper to preserve them forever.
Finally, punch a hole at the top, thread some string through, and turn it into a charming ornament ready to hang!
And that’s it! It’s doesn’t get any easier than this! This handful of love handprint keepsake can happen within minutes and I sure hope you add it to your Valentine’s Day craft plans! Happy crafting, my friends!
