Handprint Ornament
Alice Louise
A keepsake Christmas ornament cut to the shape of your child's hand — a sweet annual tradition or a thoughtful gift for grandparents.
IMPORTANT - Make sure to measure the hand from the lowest to highest point to resize the ornament by using handHeight parameter if you wish the hand to be to scale
Tips:
Draw with a thick black marker on plain white paper — cleaner contrast = cleaner engrave. Snap a photo or scan, crop tight to the hand with no extra background, and upload as a PNG or JPG.
You may need to adjust the text and year position and scale parameters to make it appear more centrally on the ornament.
Size will automatically be adjusted to the width parameter
Make a fresh one each year — kids' drawings changes so quickly, and you'll end up with a beautiful collection lined up on the tree.
Remove the hole and turn it into a fridge magnet or wall art
Image Advice:
Ideally upload a 'closed' hand
If an open hand is added the template check the 'Close Hand' parameter
Solid black marker on a white background cropped closely.
