O' Christmas Handprint Tree...

I love Christmas and since I can't get away with putting up my tree this week, I decided to get started on my handmade Christmas decorations and gifts. Today, I made a tree out of all of our handprints. This has been a lot of fun for the Snails! I think we will make the traditional handprint wreaths next (I still have mine from when I was in 4th Grade). And maybe a handprint garland for the mantle. And some handprint reindeer. And some handprint santas. Can you tell that I adore handprint crafts?


I'd love to hear what is on your list for this year!

Wow. That's a lot of cutting but I think I really like it, so I think I'll have to try this and all the other ones you mentioned. Thanks for sharing.

This is a neat idea.
We recently started making ornaments from the dough that you can bake in the oven. We also made a few seasonal ornaments for our own home.
I plan on doing more projects of this kind since my DD is old enough to be crafty this year.

Thanks for praying! Obviously I have been MIA a bit...and really even before this.

Evan is doing well and might go home tomorrow...maybe today.

Oh this is so timely for me. I was just a hunting for some fun Christmas crafts. I can do Christmas anytime of the year;) This is adorable! I adore handprint decorations. I have some flat Christmas trees from when my son was teeny, and some reindeer handprints from when he was about 3. So glad to know you are on the same wavelength as me;)

I LOVE this project!!! Thank you so much for sharing it. As soon as my kindergarten son saw your picture of the handprint tree, he said, "Can we do that?!" We love fun seasonal projects that put a little "holiday" in our home!

That is very cute! Thanks for linking it up at my blog. The more ideas to better!

Before you take my images, you'd better ask me first. I request that if, and when, you use my information and pictures, you provide proper credit and citation. A link back to my blog is nice, too. I love to give permission to really nice people. In fact, I have never said no. If you steal anything from my site, I get to be mean to you. Really mean. And I am smart enough to catch you being sneaky, too.
