The above age and time guidelines are estimates. This project can be modified to suit other ages and may take more or less time depending on your circumstances.
Materials Needed:
- Paper Plate
- Paint
- Ribbon
- Craft Glue
- Paint Brush
- Scissors
Instructions:
Paint the palm side of a child's whatever color you desire. With a very young child, it may be easier to paint the bottom of a paper plate and press the child's palm onto the paint to coat it. Press the painted hand onto the center of a paper plate. Let the paint dry completely.
Once the paint dries, glue the ribbon around the edge of the plate if desired. Use the ribbon to add a fancy bow to the front of the plate. You can also glue a small loop made out of ribbon to the back top of the plate to use as a hanger.
To complete the hand print wall hanging gift, don't forget to include the child's name, age, and the date on the plate. If you want to add a little variety to this project, try this project using colored paper plates.
