Adorable Handprint/Footprint Reindeer for Christmas
Transform little hands and feet into charming reindeer with just a few simple supplies. Paint the palm and fingers brown, leaving a small circle at the base of the palm unpainted for the reindeer’s nose. Stamp the handprint onto paper or canvas. Once dry, add googly eyes, a red pompom for the nose, and brown pipe cleaners for the antlers. You can even personalize your reindeer by adding a name or the year below the print. For a footprint reindeer, paint the sole of the foot brown and stamp it onto your surface. Add two smaller brown footprints for the ears. Then, follow the same steps for adding eyes, nose, and antlers. These reindeer make whimsical ornaments, gift tags, or even festive wall art.

Crafting Jolly Handprint/Footprint Santas for the Holidays
Spread Christmas cheer with jolly handprint/footprint Santas. For a handprint Santa, paint the palm red and the fingers white to represent Santa’s beard. Stamp onto your chosen surface.

A small red circle sticker can be added at the base of the thumb for Santa’s mouth. For a footprint Santa, paint the sole of the foot red and the toes white. After stamping, add the same details as the handprint Santa, adjusting the placement for the larger footprint. These Santa creations are perfect for personalized Christmas cards or festive wall decorations.
