Mother's Day handprint crafts

As a Mom of 2 little ones I love homemade gifts for Mother's Day. To me they are the BEST gifts a kid could give. Also, it doesn't get better then to have their handprint as part of the homemade gift.

 

So below I gathered some of the many handprint keepsakes I liked from Pinterest and put them in a post.

Personalized Handprint License Tag

We love making homemade gifts for family members. They mean more to us and it's the best keepsake to have from kids. Last year for my aunt, my kids Godmother we made her a special tag for the front of her car.

This is inexpensive and super easy. All you have to do is go to the local automotive store and get a license tag and cover. They cost less then $15.00 for both.

The tag I got had a flag on one side and blank on the other, so we used the blank side. The kids picked out the color for their handprints and place it on the tag. (Paint we used was just acrylic paint from Wal-Mart for $.59) Then used a sharpie marker to write the message.

The clear cover for the tag protects it so you don't have to seal the license tag.

The great thing about this tag is you can write whatever you want on it and you can design it how you like to. Personalized tags are not cheap and they don't have that personal touch with the kids handprints.

Make your own snowman keepsake ornaments

Fun way to keep the memories of your little one(s) by placing their finger and thumb prints to make an ornament.

As parents we know that our little one(s) grow so fast, and at Christmas time I love pullin out last years ornaments to see how they have grown in a years time.

So this year for the tree we made snowman keepsake ornaments.

To make this ornament it is simple and very inexpensive.

Materials:

the price is $1.29 @ Micheal's and Joann's you can also use coupons to get it cheaper.
Acrylic paints
Sharpie market (black) I used this to make the snowman hat
Mod Podge or clear glaze spray to protect the outside.


I used the thumb for the base, pointer for the center and pinky for the face of the snowman.

This is a great craft to give as a gift to family members or for kids to make in the classroom.

Thankful tile keepsake

I love to make a Turkey handprint keepsake of my kids handprints every year to see the growth. So last year I made tile keepsakes for the grandparents.

Very inexpensive tile keepsake to make and a great gift for family.

Tile I got at Home Depot and it was $1.12 for a 8x10 size tile
Then used acrylic paint to paint the turkeys and feathers on the tile
After paint is dried then I sprayed it with a Fast-Drying-Polyurethane-Semi-Gloss spray
Black Sharpie marker to write

You can buy the paints and polyurethane spray at Micheal's or can order online from the link above.

Hand print place mat keepsake

We took a Fall nature walk the other day to gather some pretty colorful leaves.  We made a fun keepsake place mat with the leaves and did a hand print turkey in the center.

This is a fun and easy craft to do with the kids.

Materials:
Paper cut to the size you want
Mod Podge glue
Leaves
Paint (we used brown cause we made a turkey hand print) this is optional as well
Paint brush

Then we laminated it. I took it to Staples and they did it for free but think it would have cost around $2.00. (Ask when you go if they give free samples cause you want to do it for a class project or say it is for a school)


To put together you just put your hand print on the paper, then glue the leaves.

NOTE: You don't want to let the leaves sit too long cause they get crispy and will crack when you laminate.

DIY....Foot print keepsake plate

After making our Halloween lanterns last week and going to the Dollar Tree this week I got a great idea to make a footprint keepsake plate.

At the Dollar Tree they have clear glass plates so I bought a couple, then came home put the kids foot print on them and mod podge the square tissue paper on the back and it made a cute Halloween plate.

I love when inexpensive keepsake crafts come to mind and work out.

"J" helped me mod podge using the paint brush. Then helped me lay the squares. This was great with doing a pattern.

Wow the things you can do with mod podge......love that stuff.

 

 Here are a couple other fun Halloween things we have done as well you might like to check out.

Spider handprints keepsakes

Every since "J" has been born I have done Halloween hand and foot prints with him. It is so neat to look back each year and see how much he has grown. Alittle sad too, cause my baby is getting so big.

The neat thing this year was when we were doing it, "J" painted his own hand.

This is very easy and you can do it different ways. Trace the kids hands, paint their hands or place in a big ink pad and stamp.
