Baby's 1st Christmas

Baby's 1st Christmas Ornament

Materials: 

Glitter

Glue (Martha Stewart Craft Glue)

Ornament

Ribbon to hang ornament on tree (optional)

1. Gather materials.

2. Paint baby's hand with glue and roll onto ornament OR trace baby's hand on paper, cut it out, spread glue on the hand, roll on ornament, and peel off.

3. Sprinkle glitter.

4. Let dry.

5. Add ribbon so the ornament can hang on the tree. 
6. Spray hairspray on ornament as that is supposed to help the glitter stick.

**If you decide to paint your baby's hand with glue and roll it on the ornament it is a 2 person job! I didn't have a second person so I chose to trace baby's hand on paper and it worked very well!

Happy Thanksgiving!
