Handprint baubles

Every year we get at least one new decoration for the Christmas tree, this year we made some (or at least decorated some that we bought). I painted the kids' hands with some house paint (I needed something that would stick better than poster paint and this is all I had in white) and got them to put a hand print on a bauble. I quite like these baubles because they're clear plastic with gold glitter stuck to the inside, this means that the outer surface is smooth. I was going to use a plain bauble but I think this is better (and only $3 for 2 from Kmart!!!) I just made sure that the bauble I bought was big enough for the oldest child plus their details.

This really shouldn't have been tricky but we did struggle a bit to get a good quality print (especially as I wanted to make them for the Grandparents as well).

 I bought a white paint pen and wrote the child's name, age and the year. I gave them a coat of clear sealer so that they should last quite well.
