Remember the handprint snowmen from last year?
They were so cute to see as I unpacked them this year that I knew we had to do a new version this year.
Enter reindeer thumb prints! These are even easier than last years version…want to make some?
Here is what you need, from this experience I can tell you that the matte ones work a little better and make it easier to see the thumb prints.
You also need some little thumbs.
From my experience last year, I learned to put the initials and date on first.
Paint your thumb…
And press onto ornaments…I thought I would do “eight tiny reindeer”…yeah, not when I have this many to do. 🙂 I ended up doing 4-6 per ornament.
Once the thumbs are dry add eyes with your sharpie…
…then two lines where the antlers go….
…then add “V”s to fill them in…
And for Rudy add a nice red nose. I did this with craft paint and the end of a paint brush.
If you lower the position of the eyes you get a whole other look, one I prefer. 🙂
Let dry, and you are done!
These will be cute teacher and family gifts. 🙂
And I will be keeping a few myself, too. 🙂
Have fun making these! Let me know if you do, I would love to see them!
