handprint plaques



i just love little baby/kid hands. and since the kiddos will only be little for a short time i wanted to preserve the cuteness. to make these plaques i made home-made play-doh to indent the kids hands in. then i pushed model magic down into the hardened play-doh so the hands are raised. the wooden plaque and letters can be found at any craft store. i stained the plaques to match the woodwork in the house and just seal-coated the letters for contrast. use your favorite bonding agent and . . . voila! i had intended to hang these in the living room one over the other, but macklynn wanted them above each girls' place at the dinner table. she's a smart cookie, so that's where they hang.
