Holy-moly! I haven't written a blog in a long time! I have been doing numerous things, getting ready for the holidays, spent time with my mother etc... Time has slipped away, but I have needed the down time that I have taken. Whew!
I am sharing a very fun and simple holiday project that we did as a family, Thumbprint ornaments!
Here is my Ornaments Pinterest Board with the pins that have inspired this project!
We started off with inexpensive wooden circles from the craft store.
We painted a base coat of acrylic paint- in this case it was an off white.
I used a paint brush to put brown acrylic paint on every family members' thumb (one at a time of course) and placed it where I wanted it on the wood with light pressure.
I then used a fine paint brush to paint the eyes, ears and antlers in black and the noses in red. I wrote in red ink at the bottom, but it doesn't look so crisp, so I'd likely not do that this time. This project was inspired by this pin.
For the snowman, the base color is Christmas red and I used Mr. P's pinky and index fingers and thumb. I simply brushed on the off white paint and put them where I wanted them!
All that is left to do is drill little holes at the top, thread some ribbon through and hang them on the tree!
Happy ornament making!
