Why We Love This
Not only is this fun to make and give but it is a special keepsake. It will be so neat to look back over the years and see how small the children’s hands were.
It is so simple and you just need a few inexpensive supplies. Trace your child’s hand and they become flowers when put together.

How to Make Handprint Flowers
- Step 1. Fold the construction paper that you are going to use for your flower 2 times to make a layer of 4 pieces of construction paper.
Step 2. Next, trace your child’s hand on top of the construction paper.
Step 3. Cut out the handprint to get 4 separate handprints.
Step 4. Align the handprint to form the flower and glue them together.
Step 5. Once glued, turn them over.
Step 6. Cut out a circle from the yellow construction paper. We used the bottom of a cup to trace ours and it was super easy, but you can use what you prefer.
Step 7. Cut out the child’s pictures into a circle. You want it to be slightly smaller than the yellow circle. Glue the photo on the yellow circle and then glue it onto the center of the handprint flower.
Step 8. Turn the flower over and tape the paper straw to the back of the flower to finish the flower.
Step 9. Now, it is ready to give as the most adorable gift!
