Memorable DIY Handprint Tree


This supercheap DIY project may be inexpensive to make, but it will undoubtedly become the most valuable Christmas Decoration you'll ever hang. Great for the kids and grandkids! 


What you need:
Foam brushes
Fabric Paint brown, green, yellow and colors for ornaments.
Canvas of some kind. burlap wrapped canvas Hobby Lobby.

How to:
You really have to be precise with where the footprints and handprints go! We practiced before on newsprint so that the kids knew exactly what to do.

The biggest tips are to just know exactly where you plan to place the prints, but as you can see, it is quite easy to do! The paint does dry fast, but you do want to wait between each set of colors to switch. Do the feet, wait for them to dry, then the hands and let them dry, then the star on top and you can do the ornaments while the star dries.  But because it dries so quickly, this project was completed in less than 30 minutes! Also, this acrylic paint does wash off very easily, which makes it easier to use with kids.
