Has this ever happened to any of you? Finding a gift for a person who has everything. Recently, my mom celebrated her birthday. Actually it was 3 days after mine. I always tell her I am her forever birthday gift. Now you know that’s about cute for a few years, then mom wants you to pony up and get her a real gift.
This year I was at a lost. I could do the “old” reliable, a gift card. However, I did that last year. So when it doubt ask someone who does not know your mommy. I was talking to my friend Denise and she suggested an idea she saw on Pinterest. Eureka! Why didn’t I think of that. My friend suggested I do a hand print craft featured on TresFrenchhens. Here is a picture.
It is a really cool idea. So I set out to make it happen for my mom. My first task, find an affordable frame big enough for our little family project for mom. I went to Goodwill. This actually was my first time in this thrift store haven. I racked up not only a good-sized picture frame, a chair for my girls room(my next revamp project), a plate, tambourine for less than $20. Score!
The first thing, I traced all of my families hand prints on coordinating colors of scrapbook paper. I actually had some on hand(no pun intended).
The frame I purchased for $2.75 actually had a picture inside mounted on heavy cardboard. I did not want to move it because of its durability, instead I used scrapbook paper left over from our hand print and covered part of the picture.
Next, I used Mod Podge to glue down each hand print starting with the biggest down to the smallest. I can tell you it was not easy tracing the hand print of a 2-year-old. We had to do it at least three times. I opted not to put our name but instead my favorite Bible scripture, Proverbs 31:28, “Her children arise up, and call her blessed…”
It was a super easy project and I like how it turned out. You can see my pictures below. What do you think? In His Super Grace,
