  • I’ve looked at this post a few times. It is a beautiful idea. With 4 children, we’ll need a big frame. But I’ll be looking. Thanks Naomi.


    • Hmm true you’ll need a big frame. Maybe layers the hands a lot to save space? Or stick them on a painted canvas… Just use a cheap basic acrylic paint. If you make it share a photo 🙂

  • what a lovely idea for the family that will cost next to nothing to do. Just thinling abou it i have a few old frames lying around. Thanks for the great idea.


    • So true it’s so cheap. And any kind of coloured paper will do. Even getting kids to decorate their own hands adds some character.
