Hi friends,

In honor of Christmas this week, we’re sharing these simple Thumbprint Wreath Ornaments. The littles were sick the last 2 weeks and didn’t enjoy many holiday activities, so I rounded them up for some easy thumbprint fun.

The Steps

Are you all done with your shopping, wrapping, and baked goods?! Maybe you’re like me this year and have gotten very little done haha.

For this craft Naomi and Matthias worked together, while I worked with Micah, my crafting buddy last week :) These cute thumbprint wreaths can be used as personalized gift tags or even place settings, that double as ornaments for your family/guests! Whatever you decide, they’ll be super cute and a great way to get the kiddos involve

optional: Cover your work space with newspaper, extra wrapping paper or a table cover.

PREP

  1. Fold your paper into fourths.

  2. Open up the paper and glue the upper half with the bottom half.

3. Cut the glued paper in half.

4. Use the cup and pencil to trace a circle.

PAINT

1. Squirt a bit of paint onto the plate.

2. Use the right thumb for one color and the left thumb for the second color.

3. Press each thumbprint on the drawn circle, rotating the thumbs and the paper.

You can overlap the prints or space them out.

Micah decided to blend the colors too.

Matthias’ wreath, Micah’s, and mine.

4. Let the wreath’s dry for 15- 30 minutes.

LABEL

1. In the center, pencil in your name, your child’s, or the recipient’s, and the year.

2. Trace with a marker and then cut out.

3. Use a toothpick to poke a hole near the top for the hook and 2 more further down for the *ribbon/string.

*The string/ribbon is optional but adds a cute touch. With the end of the toothpick push the string through the whole and then pull through.

That’s it!
