Mini Fingerprint Shamrock Art

Hello again…I know, I’m posting again this week.  Honestly, I have SO MANY projects I want to share with you, but they don’t always make it to the blog.  A girl’s gotta sleep!  Just kidding…I don’t sleep much, which is why I’m always dreaming up cute ideas…

I love holidays and I especially love to bring little festive touches into my home for each holiday.  These mini canvases are perfect!  They are small, festive, and a super cute way to preserve those darling little fingerprints…Plus, they are not only for St. Patrick’s Day.  Lucky Clovers can be left out all year- We could all use a little luck, right!

Let’s get started…Did I mention this is a quick craft too?  Great for children with short attention spans.

Supplies: Mini canvas and small easel (both from WalMart), Green paint, paintbrush, optional- gold writing pen

You’ll want to work with one finger and apply fresh paint for each new fingerprint.  To make a shamrock, press one fingerprint onto the canvas.  Follow with another print attached to the bottom of the first print…making a ‘V’ shape.

Repeat to form four leaves…

Using a fine brush, paint a stem…

3 year old and 5 year old fingerprints…so cute!

 Once the paint dried (which didn’t take long) I added a little word in gold chalk pen…Totally optional…

I think they turned out so cute!  Everything is cuter in mini, right?!
