Handmade Christmas Gift From Kids

 

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 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 (size 5x5) with hands down at sides (palms to back)

Parent:Take photo of child (arms out by sides)

Front + 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 



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 + pom pom


Display and enjoy!
