Child Handprint Artwork!


I saw a pin on Pinterest and decided that instead of buying the artwork, I would make it with my son! Such a great way to get children involved in arts and crafts, and get a very inexpensive piece of artwork to decorate your home or a child's room.

Materials
  • 4 small canvases just slightly larger than the size of your child's hand
  • Paint (such as acrylic paint)
  • Paint brush
  • Wall mounting items (tape, painting hanger, nails, etc.) I chose to use wall mounting tape to avoid holes in the wall and to reduce the amount of work it takes to hang. 
  • Your child's hands!
Steps
  1. Paint the small canvases the desired colors and let dry.
  2. Once dry, apply paint to the palm side of your child's hand and press gently onto the canvas.
  3. Repeat with the rest of the canvases.
  4. Let dry.
  5. Use chosen method to hang the product in your home!


And here's the finished product hanging on the wall!
