handprint canvas


The kiddos and I made this for my dad for his birthday a few months ago. I’ve had the idea floating around my head for while. I saw it somewhere, but for the life of me I can’t remember where. A blog, a magazine – no idea – or I would give credit. But, I saved it in my brain to make someday. And here it is. It was easy and would be great for a mom or grandma for Mother’s Day.
First, I painted the canvas tan.
Then, I stamped the words I wanted “Grandpa is wrapped around these little fingers” onto white tissue paper and then Mod Podged the tissue paper to the canvas. I guess I could have stamped the words right onto the canvas, but I was afraid I would mess up.
Last, I painted the kids hands and helped them press it to the canvas.
Let it dry and covered the whole thing with light layer of Mod Podge. Cute. Easy. Fast.
