Each week Momondealz bring us a craft that is fun, educational, and frugal. My boys are growing so quickly and I just love hand print art so this week I decided to make Family Hand Print Art using corkboard and the kids’ hands.
Just a side note, Momondealz said she laminate
Family Hand Print Art
Materials:
Cork board
Ribbon
Paint
Paint Brushes
Directions:
1. Paint the entire front side of your cork board pieces and allow to dry (just to be safe we let them dry overnight).
2. Paint the hands of everyone in the family (Will LOVED painting his Daddy’s hands) and have them leave their handprints on the cork board.
3. Hot glue ribbon to the back of the boards and hang!

Beautiful – I shall do this with my cat’s paws!
WHAT a great IDEA!
I work at a daycare with a limited budget for craft supplies. I think I can substitute cardboard for the cork for an inexpensive activity for the kids. Thanks for the inspiration!
I think al of us have the hand print pictures from our children’s grammar school days. Using cork board, however, makes these preicious prints longer lasting, in a choice os sizes and turns the art into a family fun project.
so cute and easy to make.
Hello! I’ve been looking around your site and came across this. Love this idea! My daughter is big time into arts and crafts, so I’m going to make this our next weekend craft. Thanks a bunch!
thank you for sharing this when i would love to do this with my children I have made things for my husband before with the kids handprints and last mothers day made handprint gifts (we have little to no extra money) for mothers day gifts for my mother in law
I love this idea. This would make a great gift from the grandchildren to their parents for a birthday, Christmas, or any other special occasion.
this would be so fun to do with my little kiddos !
I like the style of this one, we just did one on a painting canvas with each childs hand print in a different color, all kids on the same canvas, it looks great, but I like this way too!
What a great idea for the whole family! I use handprints quite a bit in my Preschool class. May use this as a Mother’s Day gift! THanks!
I absolutely LOVE this! I can’t wait to do this with my family
This is so cool! I can’t wait to try this out and it’s a good way to keep a memory!
I love this and I will be doing this with my kids and the little one I babysit for! Thank you!
I love this craft. This would make a great Christmas gift for the grandparents. Plus it is an easy one.
THIS LOOKS LIKE A RELATIVELY EASY CREATION I WOULD SAVOR FOR YEARS! IT’S ACTUALLY SOMETHING I WOULD CONSIDER SPENDING LOADS OF MONEY ON TO HAVE PROFESSIONALLY DONE, & NOW HAVING THE INFORMATION PROVIDED, WILL RECONSIDER & DO IT MYSELF. THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS POST. NEVER THOUGHT I’D FIND SOMETHING SO USEFUL WHEN JUMPING AROUND A RANDOM BLOG! =)
I love it, I pinned the instruction on my Pinterest account
