“This little hand holds your spot, A gift from me, I love you a lot.
Each time you read, think of me, And the love we share, endlessly.”
To complete this “holds your spot” 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 bookmark that is ready to gift instantly!!
And that’s it! Your handprint bookmark is now complete! Not only does it hold a special place in a book, but it also holds a special place in the heart of the person receiving it. This simple yet meaningful craft is a wonderful way to capture a moment in time and share a little love. Happy crafting! ❤️
