She was screaming and refused to open her hand. I ended up doing her foot instead since she couldn't clench it up and it worked great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-diy-ornament-with-your-babys-handprint#post-2433778 Fri, 22 Jan 2016 20:35:40 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 2433778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had one of those kits and I also did salt dough ornaments. I managed to get her hands but default, do the feet. way easier </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-diy-ornament-with-your-babys-handprint#post-2433757 Fri, 22 Jan 2016 20:20:07 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2433757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got a kit for Christmas but haven't done it yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-diy-ornament-with-your-babys-handprint#post-2433473 Fri, 22 Jan 2016 16:09:30 +0000 BSB 2433473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: I made pet ornaments last year with my dog's paw prints. My friend who was visiting was probably a bit traumatized at how hard I tried to get one of the dogs to cooperate. Haha! I pretty much was that crazy person who man handled my dog for an ornament.</p> <p>Yeah, clay ornaments for little babies is probably so much easier than painted ornaments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-diy-ornament-with-your-babys-handprint#post-2433468 Fri, 22 Jan 2016 16:05:58 +0000 PawPrints 2433468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought clay print ornament kits as Christmas gifts for both grandmas. It was shocking how easy it was, as it turned out. DH held LO and distracted her while I grabbed her hand and spread out her fingers flat and smooshed it in, then did the same with her foot in the next ornament. Super simple, and we even had clay left over to do ornaments for our dogs' paw prints. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-diy-ornament-with-your-babys-handprint#post-2433048 Fri, 22 Jan 2016 12:17:29 +0000 snowjewelz 2433048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was gifted two of these and never did it haha!

It is now a footprint. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-diy-ornament-with-your-babys-handprint#post-2432824 Fri, 22 Jan 2016 10:02:07 +0000 kiddosc 2432824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but we did it with salt dough so we could retry if need be. And we did it his second Christmas, so he was 19 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-diy-ornament-with-your-babys-handprint#post-2432805 Fri, 22 Jan 2016 09:53:28 +0000 Mamaof2 2432805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: yes but it will take 2 people :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-diy-ornament-with-your-babys-handprint#post-2432802 Fri, 22 Jan 2016 09:52:39 +0000 Alivoo01 2432802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did with DS. Instead of paint, we did one with homemade clay/play doh that you bake in the oven to harden. We did both hands and feet. Since it was "play-doh", we could re-roll and attempt a print time after time since he was 5 months old and held his hands in fists a lot still. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-diy-ornament-with-your-babys-handprint#post-2432467 Fri, 22 Jan 2016 03:31:06 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2432467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did LO's foot. So much easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-diy-ornament-with-your-babys-handprint#post-2432460 Fri, 22 Jan 2016 02:50:12 +0000 erinpye 2432460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A lot of times it's easier to do the feet with really little babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-diy-ornament-with-your-babys-handprint#post-2432456 Fri, 22 Jan 2016 02:45:14 +0000 Foodnerd81 2432456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did manage to make one when C was almost 5 months old but it wasn't easy. Took a few tries for sure. Could you do their feet instead? Since they can't run away and can't curl feet up into a fist it could be easier. </p> <p>I got a kit for Christmas for this baby. Since C has an ornament with her hand I do want one for this baby too, but it seems like so much effort. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-diy-ornament-with-your-babys-handprint#post-2432434 Fri, 22 Jan 2016 01:54:01 +0000 BSB 2432434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know this is a post Christmas question. </p> <p>I got an ornament kit for Christmas and I'm supposed to put paint on my LO's hand and have them grab the ornament.</p> <p>How am I going to do this for my 4 month olds. They are not going to keep their hands flat to do this. </p>
