The kind of handmade gifts from my girls is one I LOVE to make right before Thanksgiving as we tend to have a few days off from school with conferences. So I designed this one to be a sweet mommy and me (or parent + me) craft for the holiday season. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
What you'll need to MAKE this one
CHEEKS Brand Craft Mat
Paint Brush
High Quality Scissors
Cardboard (I used Amazon box as it's just thick enough but not too thick)
Mini Wicker Wreathe
Red Ribbon
Mod Podge
Felt (purple, dark green, green)
Glitter Card stock
Gold String
Black + White photo of your child printed out on printer paper with hands down at sides (palms to back)
Parent: Take photo of child (arms out by sides)
Palms facing back
Parent: Print photo in black + white
Kids: Mod Pod photo to cardboard (on bottom + top of photo to seal)
Airy dry (or let dry by fireplace while monitoring/don't get too close of course!) and
at the same time wipe clean your CHEEKs craft mat
Parents/older kids: Cut around silhouette. After cutting out around the silouette my size is 8 inch x 5.5. inches here.
Parents/older kids: Glue gun previously cut felt leaf shapes to wreathe base
Parents/Older kids: Glue gun wreathe to photo
Parents/older kids: Fabric glue (or glue gun) on mittens, bow + glitter card stock pom pom
Display and enjoy.
Happy MAKING! Warmly, Steph
