What else can I make with handprints?
If you like handprint projects, check out our family hands portrait. Instead of paint, hands are traced onto colorful scrapbook paper and then cut out and arranged largest to smallest. Make it summery by using bright colors or summer themed patterned papers (suns, palm trees, ice cream, etc).
