Zazzlepreneurs this is one for you and the wider world, a FREEBIE DIY gift idea for your spouse on Valentine's Day!

Valentine's Day is a time to celebrate love, and what better way to show your love for Mom than with a gift made with little hands and even bigger hearts? This year, create a Custom Valentine Art Print Handprint Love Keepsake that husband, wife, Mom or Dad will cherish forever.

This adorable craft is perfect for moms and dads with kids of all ages, from toddlers to grade-schoolers. It's a fun and meaningful gift for her or him that they can display proudly year after round. Plus, it's a fantastic way to create lasting memories together as a family.

Here's what you'll need to get started:

White cardstock or watercolor paper (thicker paper works best for paint)
Washable paint in various colors (red, pink, and purples are classic Valentine's Day choices, but get creative!)

• Paintbrushes
• Baby wipes or damp cloth
• Craft foam hearts (optional)
• Markers, crayons, or colored pencils (optional)
• A picture frame (optional)

Let's get crafting!

Prep your little artist:

Lay down some newspaper or a plastic tablecloth to protect your work surface. Dress your child in clothes that can handle a little paint splatter (just in case!).

Choose your paint colors:

Select some festive Valentine's Day colors like red, pink, and purple. You can even let your child choose their favorites!

Paint those precious hands! Apply a thin layer of paint to your child's palm and fingers using a paintbrush.

Tip:

If you're worried about paint getting everywhere, you can try using a baby wipe to dab a thin layer of paint onto your child's hand.

Make a handprint masterpiece!

Carefully press your child's painted hand onto the cardstock, creating a beautiful floral bouquet design. You can use one handprint or two, depending on the look you're going for. For older children, you can even get creative and have them use their thumb to make a little vase for the "flowers."

Clean up time!

Use baby wipes or a damp cloth to gently remove the paint from your child's hands.

Personalize your masterpiece (optional):

Once the paint dries, you can add a heartfelt message to your art print. Here are some ideas:

"Happy Valentine's Day, Mom/Dad! We love you more than all the flowers in the world!"

"You're the best Mom/Dad ever! Here's a hug (and some handprints) to show you how much we care!"

"With all our love, your little ones."

7. Frame it and display it with pride!

Place your one-of-a-kind Valentine's Day art print in a beautiful frame and display it somewhere special for Mom or Dad to see every day.

Bonus Tip:

If you want to add an extra touch, you can cut out some small craft foam hearts and glue them onto the handprints to create a blooming flower bouquet effect.

This DIY Handprint Love Keepsake is a gift that Mom or Dad will treasure forever. It's a beautiful reminder of your child's love and a cherished memory of the time you spent creating it together. So grab your supplies, get crafty, and show Mom or Dad just how much you care this Valentine's Day!
