How to Make it

Here's a Step by Step guide on how to Make this Fourth of July Craft

Step 1 - Print the Design on a Heavy cardstock paper, in A4 size.

Step 2 - Paint your child's hand. You can use the washable stamp pads along with paint brushes or washable round painting sponges to paint your kid's hand in red and blue.

Step 3 - Press the left hand on the left size of the page and right hand on the right size of the page.

Step 4 - You will place the handprints over the fireworks. Make sure the hands are painted well. Not too much so that the color drips and neither too less so that the handprint doesn't appear effectively.

Step 5 - Allow the Handprints to dry out completely.

Step 6 - [OPTIONAL] You can ask kids to make it their own (if they want) by adding some stickers or Fourth of July themed Sparkles and glitters either on the sides or on the Handprint.

Step 7 - When the paint has dried and kids have added their personal touches, it's time to frame this Keepsake. But, before that - Add your child's Name and Age on the Keepsake to make it a memory.

You can get it framed from a store or simply get the frame online and frame it at home. As easy as that.

Tips to Make it More Special

1. You can use glitter paint around the handprint. Red glitter paint for the red handprint, blue for the blue handprint. It will make it stand out.
2. To Make the fireworks more appealing and attractive - add some firework stickers or red, and blue star stickers. It will bring out the painting more and more.
3. Once you've made the Handprint craft, Scan it in a store or at home and make multiple copies so that you can gift this to grandparents or aunts and uncles who can keep it in their homes.
4. You can Make a series of this kind of Printable every year and see the Handprint grow every year. Sounds nice right?
