Step 1: Gather Your Materials

Yippee for my first instructable! This instructable will show you how to make a decorative garland for a child's room using their hand and foot prints. I use prints from my two daughters for their garland in this example.

Here are the materials necessary for this project:
Finger or other craft paints
Cardstock
Coordinating ribbon and wide-mouth beads
Micron Pen or find point marker
Sponge applicator ink (I use Colorbox)
Paper/craft grommets and setter
Hammer
Wooden block or cutting board
Scissors
One small child volunteer

For those of you that emailed from my blog...I fixed the punctuation here. Thanks for the tips!

I've just realized that my punctuation is a little squirly on here. I'm sorry about that...I copied everything from Microsoft Word. Next time, we'll try notepad or something.

Yay! I'm so glad you like the site! I think your project would be tons of fun for kids. You could do it in bedrooms, in classrooms or for birthday parties. Great idea!

I agree! I'm making two more today: One that I'm sneaking into grandma's house as a surprise, and another to send to my sister-in-law who lives across the country and misses her neices terribly.
