18 DIY Christmas Ornaments Using Keepsake Hand Prints

Christmas is a great time to reflect on the year passed and of course, look back on the years gone, our children grow so quickly and I love being able to display my Christmas tree full of memories and keepsakes. Such a fun way to spread Christmas cheer too. These Handprint crafts are all for tree ornaments, perfect for gift giving to friends and family as a treasured keepsake. Some use paint and clear baubles whilst others use handmade salt dough and air drying clay. Pick a crafting medium to suit what you have on hand.
