Instructions for the Hand Print Ornament:

Prepare the Handprint:

Apply white craft paint evenly to the child’s palm. Make sure it’s not too thick. Carefully press the child’s hand onto the ball ornament. Ensure that the fingers are spread out to resemble a snowman’s body. Press firmly but not too hard.

Create the Snowman Body:

Allow the handprint to dry completely. You can use a hairdryer to speed up the process. Once dry, add two small coal eyes to the handprint. You can either glue small black beads or use black paint for this.

Add the Carrot Nose:

Cut a small triangle shape from orange felt or construction paper or use orange paint for the snowman’s nose. Glue the carrot nose just below the eyes on the handprint. Another option, you can just paint on a carrot stick.

Accessorize with a Hat:

Attach a snowman hat to the top of the handprint. You can either use a small fabric hat, paint one on, or create one using black paper.

Personalize and Decorate:

Get creative! You can add additional decorations like buttons down the snowman’s body, a scarf made from ribbon, or even draw a mouth with a black marker.

Let it Dry:

Before diving into the creative process of decorating the bulb, make sure to allow the painted handprint to thoroughly dry. This step ensures that the design sets properly and prevents any smudging or blending of colors. A fully dried handprint provides a clean canvas for the upcoming festive decorations, ensuring that your snowman handprint Christmas ball turns out as charming and delightful as envisioned. Patience in this stage guarantees a polished and long-lasting result for your holiday ornament.

Seal the Design:

If you want to preserve the design, consider applying a clear sealant such as Mod Podge over the ornament. This will protect the paint and decorations.

Hang and Admire:

Once everything is dry and sealed, your snowman handprint Christmas ball is ready to be hung on the tree! Add a festive ribbon and enjoy the festive addition to your holiday decorations.

Tip: Place the bulb on a glass to dry & decorate! i used a mason jar to hold the bulb.
