we made fingerprint gifts for Nana's birthday. the boys just love painting, so I didn't need to twist their arms or bribe them to help me make these. they do have their limit on how long they'll let me paint their fingers and press them onto things before they try to take over, though!
we painted a cute ceramic mug I found at Target with Martha Stewart opaque glass paint and then baked it in the oven. I bought extra mugs just in case, and I'm glad I did! I thought a grey mug with mostly white prints and some color here and there would be cute, but for some reason the white did not work well at all :\ so I went with just the color paints on the white mug and they worked great.
while we had momentum going we did a picture frame with regular acrylic paints. I'm hoping to get a good picture of the boys at my sister-in-law's wedding this weekend to put in the frame!
I was going to have the boys make a card, but decided to decorate a plain white bag that doubles as a birthday card instead. this was a two day project...
