Welcome to our crafty corner today we are making "hand"made (get it) flowers magnets.. What you will need for the project.. Some kind of cover for your surface (we use a trash bag), cup for water, big paint brush, paint (of course), magnet picture frame (bought ours at dollar general for 1.50), 5x7 sized construction paper and your child hand..
Step one... Paint your childs hand anyway you would like.. I put yellow in the middle and different colors on each finger but you can do it anyway you like.. P.S. my son loved this part!!
Step two.. Just stamp the childs hand down on the construction paper.. Make sure they spread their fingers out and also make sure you put alot of paint on the
hand or it may not come out right..
Step 3.. Let the "flower" dry for a few minutes then get your child to draw a stem and leaves for it.. I put the year at the bottom of ours and on the back wrote happy mother's day (these were for his grandmas)..
Step 4.. Let dry over night.. Then put them in the magnetic photo pocket and viola you have the best gift for any occasion from your little one.. His grandmas loved these and so do I.. It was so easy to do, a bit messy but so worth it.. Until next time keep crafting!!
