December is here!

December is a great month for crafts! My month is filled with crafts and baking with my children. I love crafts but my favorite crafts are the ones that I can reflect back on… this has to be one of my favorites:) 

Handprint Holidays 

You can paint this on anything but I have this on a plate and will you directions for a plate. 

You will need the following for this craft:

– acrylic paint

– brushes

– baby wipes

– a glass platter or plate 

We used brown paint for our reindeers and green for our trees. So their hands were reindeers who are tangled up in Christmas lights and a little ones foot is perfect for a Christmas tree. 

You can definitely change it up. I have seen angels painted using feet and trees made with hands. I just thought this idea was cute. 

*remember, if you do not like your design – you can simply wipe it off using water and start again. 

Once you finished your ceramic plate – set the paint by baking the plate in the oven at 300° Fahrenheit for 30 minutes. I suggest leaving your plate in the oven, turning it off and allowing the oven to cook down and then removing the plate. 

I look at back at this plate and remember when they were this little.  Best handmade craft ever. These are also really great gift for family members.
