Christmas Craft: Fingerprint Homemade Cards

Guest Post by    Today, a Christmas craft is shared by Bernadette at Mom to 2 Posh Lil Divas.  Leave your fingerprint these holidays with some fingerprint Christmas Cards!  These crafty cards are adorable and very kid-friendly!

I adore the holidays - lots of family, friends, food, good times, getting together and, of course, fun activities galore! The Lil Divas and I have been busy little elves: crafting, creating and learning.

I like to have them make homemade gifts, ornaments and cards for loved ones. One of the things I am particularly obsessed with fond of are hand & fingerprint crafts. It is personal, a piece of the Lil Divas frozen in time - a heartfelt keepsake.

Today, I am going to share some fun & easy ideas for

Fingerprint Christmas Cards

Supplies Needed:

• card stock
• green, white & red paint [acrylic would be best but you can use tempra - we did!]
• sequins & glue [optional]

2. Paint a trunk using brown paint or use 2 thumbprints.
   
   
   
3. Apply sequin decorations if desired.
   
   
   
4. Allow to dry and write message inside to complete card.
   

  

Fingerprint Wreath Card

What To Do:

1. Using thumbprint dipped in green paint make a circle of fingerprints to form a wreath.
   
2. Using pinkie dipped in red paint add a few berries scattered throughout the wreath.
