Handprint Flowers on a Watering Can Gift Idea
Add handprint flowers to a watering can and make the perfect Mother’s Day gift idea. This one would actually be perfect for anyone that loves gardening. Grab a few supplies and the hand of your infant or toddler to make a cute gift that they will treasure forever. This post is sponsored by Testors however all projects and opinions are my own.
What You Will Need
- Watering Can
- Testors Paint in the colors of your choice
- Paint brushes
- Spray sealer if kept outdoors
Instructions
- Add the handprints to the side of your watering can by painting their hands with the paint.
- Then, guide their hand in place and press it down well. Make sure to get their fingers and palms pressed down well. For small infants, you can do this while they are asleep as well.
- Allow the handprints to dry. Then use a paint brush to add stems and leaves to your handprint flowers. You can allow older children to paint these on themselves if desired.
- Be sure to add the name and year so your treasured memento will be a reminder of the year for a long, long time. Use a pointed brush to accomplish this task.
- If your watering can will be left outside for storage, you will also want to add a spray sealer to the surface. If you are going to use and display indoors, that step is probably not required but can add an extra layer of protection.
