Thumbprint Petal Vase
Show your grandparents just how special they really are by creating a unique gift made with your own fingers…literally! It’s simple and fun to do. Most importantly, your love will stay in bloom throughout the year!
Supplies Need:
- Smooth Glass Vase
- Glass Paint (your choice of colors)
- Paint Brush
- Little Fingers
How to Make:
- Paint your child’s thumb with paint (we used green) for the center of the flower. Press the thumb gently on the center of the vase.
- With a paint brush, draw a stem using brown paint from the center of the flower approximately 3” down.
- Wash the thumb and repaint it with another color (we used yellow), and press gently along the outside of the center to make a petal. Continue to create petals around the center, reapplying paint along the way.
- Wash and reapply the thumb with green paint, and press along the side of the stem to make a leaf. For smaller leaves, you can use your child’s pinky.
