I saw this idea on Pinterest and fell in love with it! Making a string of Christmas tree lights out of fingerprints are so cute and could be used for handmade Christmas cards, gift tags, or anything you can think of! I think grandparents, parents, etc. would love this. It also hardly costs anything if you have washable paints laying around!
Watch us make them…
First take a black sharpie and draw a line with swirls in it. Then draw little squares along the line spaced out to be the bottom of the bulb part.
Have the child dip their pointer finger in different color paints (we used the paint caps to make it easier) and push them right above the black squares. You can do the colors in patterns or have the kids do it randomly!

November 6, 2014 at 9:52 pmSuch a cute idea! Pinned it on my Christmas pinterest board. It will be awhile before my little one can do it on her own but maybe we can make something for the grandparents like that with my help ofcourse!

December 6, 2013 at 4:36 pmI love your idea for not only the craft, but for turning it into a Christmas card. It looks great too – not all kids crafts do :) I love sending Christmas cards and letter writing so much I blog about such things! Visiting via ‘blogstrutlinkup’ where you can find me at number 175
