First, I wanted to make a special ornament for the grandparents with Brayden's handprint. I found this link on Pinterest which inspired me to make my own.
Materials:
-clear bulb ornament
-fine glitter
-clear glue (I used a glue stamp pad meant for stamping and embossing. I found it in the stamp section at Michaels)
-flake glitter or cellophane glitter
-sharpie marker
Stamp child's hand in the clear glue then place carefully on the bulb ornament. Make sure the bulb is large enough for the entire hand print. Also, it is VERY helpful to have an extra set of adult hands to help with the stamping of the hand...especially with a squirmy 16 month old! Shake glitter over the glued hand print, over a plate or bowl to contain the mess.
Then, I decided to add some interest and make it look snowy by adding the flake cellophane glitter to the inside. This part was very messy! Finally, I wrote the quote, "So much love in such small hands!" on the opposite side of the bulb. The grandparents LOVED it!
