A Handprint Wreath

 

A friend of mine gave me this idea for a gift from my kids to some family friends who often fill in as grandparents since our families all live out of town.  Besides the mess, it was an easy and quick project with a personal touch.

I got the canvas, bow, and paint at Hobby Lobby.  We used three different shades of green—one for each of their handprints.  As you can see, some are more “textural” than others :)

And, for fun, we tied a movie gift card onto it.
