Today on the blog, we're showing you how to make a simple holiday craft that you can do with your entire family. It might even become a family keepsake: a handprint Christmas tree skirt. Click the link below to read more!
I know you’ve read countless articles, memes, and social media posts about the need to put down our phones and interact with each other, but folks, that’s exactly what we need to do this holiday season. We—or is it just me—have become a TV-watching, house-cocooning, social media-addicted-loners-on-our-sofas kind of a people. We need to spend more quality time together, talk more, listen even more, and extravagantly love those whom we…well…love.
This past summer at children’s camp, I was reminded how much human interaction—just talking about life—we miss by not making time to be still and listen. It was the second afternoon of camp and to be honest I just wanted to walk back to the cabin, catch up on a few emails, and take a quick nap. A little boy named Wyatt came over to me right after I plopped down on the camp couch. He begged me to play Farkle, and I rather grudgingly agreed.
The supplies needed for this project are simple. The tree skirt pictured was purchased online for about $10. Something with a flat surface such as felt, cotton, or a tightly-woven burlap would work well. If you need to make this on a budget, purchase the plain felt skirt at your local craft store. If you want to be fancy, you can pick out a fabric and trim and sew one to your liking. When you make this tree skirt, you just can’t help but bake a cake, fix some coffee, and enjoy being together.
2. Using a fat paintbrush, paint the palm side of each person’s hand and have them stamp their handprint on the tree skirt.
