Every Christmas I love making special holiday-themed crafts with my son so that he can give them to grandparents and other family members. Sometimes we make handprint Christmas cards or festive DIY ornaments. This year I combined the two and made this Christmas Tree Handprint Ornament.

Your little one can help make the ornament with you because this holiday craft is super simple. Encourage them to personalize their craft using glitter, markers, and crayons. Just remember to document the year and the little one’s name!
I think handprint crafts and cards are a cute way to commemorate a moment in time. It’s a fun, easy way to document your child’s growth, especially when you add a photo to the handprint. You can look back and remember the time when your child was little, what they were excited about, and what was going on in your life at the time.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Christmas Tree Handprint Ornament Directions
Trace your child’s hand on a piece of green construction paper and cut it out. This will be the Christmas “tree”.
Cut out 3 small squares to make Christmas presents for under the picture. Add a strip of contrasting paper down the center to 2 of the boxes to look like presents.
Glue your child’s picture at the bottom of the handprint. Glue the 2 presents on either side. Place the third box at the bottom of the picture. This will be where you write your message or child’s name and year.
Laminate the entire handprint and then cut the excess. Punch a hole at the top and string a piece of red ribbon through.
Using hot glue, attach 2-3 mini bows to the top of the presents and the top of the picture.
Gift these adorable Christmas Tree Handprint Ornaments to grandparents, aunts and uncles, friends, or teachers. Make sure to get your little one involved so they feel extra proud when they gift it to their favorite person.

Hi! I’m Meagan and I’m a 41 year old mom of a high energy almost 9 year old, happily navigating my way through the little boy years. I’ve been married for 14 years. I met my husband over 20 years ago in high school; we got married 10 years later after graduating from the University of South Florida. I currently help run a family business with my parents while blogging about my life and love of DIY projects!
When I’m not at a kids sports game, I enjoy spending time with my family on a beach anywhere. I also love decorating and organizing, fun DIY projects, bargain shopping, and eating out or in! I also love Barbecue anything and a good show or movie on Netflix.
