Make: Mother's Day Fingerprint Heart Necklace

4/28/15 - By Ally Noel

The most important element in a Mother's Day gift is a touch of love. So this fingerprint pedant is the perfect way to win someone's heart. It's very easy to craft and makes the perfect keepsake for any mother, grandmother, aunt or friend. Just about any kind of hard-drying clay or dough will work; we like using Model Magic because it provides a nice smooth surface on which to decorate, but you can also look at our recipe for salt dough.

OUR LATEST VIDEOS

Materials:
Clay or dough
String or ribbon
Small glass or jar to use as a circle cutter
Paint to decorate (optional)

1. Take a glob of clay and flatten it; use a glass to cut out a circle.
2. Make a fingerprint heart by pressing two of your child's fingers into the dough; thumbs work well.
3. Poke a small hole at the top (so you can string it later), then let the clay dry.

Once it's dry, hang it from a ribbon or string. Add paint or a few macaroni beads for an extra homemade touch.

Show us what you make. Share it on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and tag @mommypoppins so we can see your creations, too!

Kids' work is to play. WeeWork is a Mommy Poppins series offering an easy daily activity for grown-ups and children to do together, making kids' work an important part of your day. We aim to inspire together time, creativity and fun using only your imagination and things around the house. You can see all our WeeWork activity posts.
