Materials
Ornament
Fine glitter
not basic craft glitter, you want it to be fine and more powdery
Mod Podge
Instructions
Brush a layer of mod podge onto baby's hand then press the hand against the ornament.
If it isn't a perfect print you can fill in any areas with a small paint brush and a bit more mod podge.
Sprinkle fine glitter over the handprint. Shake off excess glitter and let the ornament dry.
Write the date on the back with a permanent marker. If there's room you can add baby's birth stats!
Add ribbon to hang the ornament and hang on the Christmas tree.
Notes
Note: Most babies aren't super cooperative with this, you just do the best you can. Basically, we're looking for an outline of a hand.
