Things you’ll need: Acrylic Paint (two or more colours) Foam brushes White or light cardstock Fine point pen
Things to do: 1. You’ll need two hands per heart, so firstly wash and dry your hands. 2. Spread a thin layer of paint on one hand and press it down on the paper at an angle, fingers together.
3. Allow the handprint to dry and then layer the other hand on top to form a heart
4. When both prints are dry, use a pen to add a message, either around the heart or at the bottom and frame.
You could even turn this artwork into a valentines card! Simply cut out this art, stick it onto a folded piece of cardstock, and write a message inside.
