Handprint Christmas Bell

How to Make Handprint Christmas Bells

Work on fine motor skills and more using this simple craft for little kids. It’s a great way to make a craft using your child’s hand; they look great hanging on the tree, windows, or fridge. Add it to your list of Christmas handprint crafts to complete each year.

1. Trace and cut out your child’s handprints. You will need one for each hand if you want two bells.
2. Paint the handprints yellow.
3. While the paint is still wet, sprinkle the fine gold glitter on top. Shake off any excess. (optional)
4. Cut out three holly leaves for each handprint. Glue them onto the palm area of the handprint.
5. Add three red pom poms to one hand and a ribbon bow to the other.
6. Cut out a horseshoe shape from yellow construction paper and glue it to the back of the handprint.

If you don’t want to use yellow construction paper to make the loop, you can use ribbon, string, or an ornament hook. Another option is to punch a small hole at the top and tie a string or ribbon, making it easy to hang up. Kids will have so much fun hanging them up around the house. It’s a fun way to decorate and incorporate your child’s touch.

Other Ways to Use Your Bells

Some people like to have a purpose for their crafts, so they don’t end up lying around the house. There are plenty of reasons to create sweet crafts like this, including some of the following:

• These simple crafts make great gifts for loved ones.
• They are also wonderful gift tags for presents under the Christmas tree.
• Use them as keepsake ornaments by laminating the handprints before gluing the decorations on.
• Add them to stations at a Christmas celebration for kids, whether at school or a party.
• Complete them on a crafty morning this winter.
• Make this craft after watching or reading a Christmas book!
