Christmas Handprint Gifts are the Best!

Christmas handprint gifts can easily be made into Christmas decorations and special personalized keepsakes, such as family Christmas t-shirts. In addition to the Rudolph handprint decoration craft below, you can also create Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer t-shirts. The Christmas handprint gifts can be made with the two-handed Rudolph handprint design shown at the left using fabric paint and similar decorations.  For just Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer’s face, a footprint and two handprints can be used.

Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer Handprint with Footprint T-Shirt

The Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer Handprint T-Shirt is an easy project every member of the family can do, from baby to christmas handprint giftsNana. All you have to do is buy t-shirts for each family member and have them make their own handprint (see above) Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer Christmas shirt using fabric paint and glue, sequins and a bell, squiggly eyes, a pompom, and something of your choice for the antlers. It’s fun to use your imagination and get creative together!  The Christmas themed t-shirts can be worn for family holiday photo cards, to Christmas parties, on Christmas Eve, or even Christmas Day morning in place of expensive family Christmas pajamas.
