First I want to apologize for the quality picture. It's hard to see what I'm trying to show you, but just imagine it, if you will.
I got this idea from my sister-in-law. She has an apron with her children's handprints/footprints making reindeer just like I do, except that it is on a white/red/green striped apron (I think!). I chose to do a red apron several years ago, when my children were younger. It's a little dark for the project, so a lighter color of apron would be better. I remember being in a rush and not taking time to make sure the paint was on their hands and feet really good. I also didn't heat-set the pain after it dried, so it's faded some.
Under each reindeer I have the child's name and age painted. My daughter's reindeer has a holly and berry on top of the reindeer head to make it more girly.
No, the quality isn't quite as good as it should be. I should have planned ahead instead of rushing the craft. But it's my children's handprints and footprints. It's a special treasure and keepsake, in my opinion! It hangs in my kitchen every Christmas.
Pin It Now!
