Prints Charming

Today, I've found some inspiration for easy, diy, family keepsakes featuring hand prints and thumbprints.

I like the idea of including the hand prints of the entire family.

Thumbprint trees are very popular alternatives for guestbooks at weddings and baby showers, and I like the idea of using them as family trees as well.

Air-dry clay or a polymer clay like Sculpey make easy and darling pendants with thumbprints. If you have two children, combine each of their thumbprints to form a heart. Many sellers on Etsy can create custom thumbprint pendants in fine silver, as well.
