OT - Christmas Tree Ornament - Felt Hands

[ssdeverell]

Hello! Last year I saw the cutest ornament on someone's tree that was made of their child's hand prints cut from green felt. They were layered to look like a Christmas tree and then decorated with other items (buttons, etc.). They no longer live near us, so I am searching for the directions to make the ornamant. I could not find anything on google that looked like what I saw. Have any of you made this ornament and can share the instructions?

Thanks,

Wow, cool idea. This could potenially be an annual tradition, to document how much they've grown, and how creative they've become. I'll be watching for the replies on how to do this one.

That's what I thought. We did not do anything my DD's first Christmas, but last year we did the glass ornaments with the hand "snowmen". They were a big hit with the grands, so I wanted to do this one this year to start a tradition. Hopefully, someone will know how to make it.

I found these links for handprint trees made out of construction paper but it would be easy to substitute felt instead.
