Handprint Snowman Ornament
Every holiday I always try to come up with some way of capturing my children’s handprints in a special way and this year I came up with this Handprint Snowman Ornament.

Have fun making this Handprint Snowman Ornament with the kids, these are also a great gift idea for the grandparents, we all know grandparents love personalized gifts.
