Clay or Salt Dough Handprints
We made a clay handprints ornament.
I had some airdrying clay and rolled it out.
Then we drew round our hands with a pencil so it made an indentation. I wrote Lock Down 2020 using the pencil.
We let the clay dry then we each painted our own handprint and we painted the background.
Once dry I went over the lettering and handprint outlines in black sharpie pen.
When the paint was dry I used modge podge (glue) to seal the paint.
If you don't have any clay you could use salt dough.
For the salt dough use 8 ounces of plain flour, 4 ounces of salt and mix with warm water until the mixture comes together. Add 100ml of water and then just keep adding water till the mixture combines to form a dough.

Roll out the salt dough and then draw round your hands and write your wording using a pencil. Then put in the oven on a low heat to bake for 1-2hours. Then paint and seal.
Alternatively you could draw your handprints onto paper and paint. If you want a shine to your paint add some pva glue to the paint. Then go over the writing and hand outlines with sharpie pen.
