(off of one of our summer to do)
I got this great idea from smashedpeasandcarrots
who got this great idea from: the crafty crow
I think they are just so sweet!
I got some sculpey
(is it pointless to say I got if for 40% off. It’s just kind of a given right?)
I got a pearl color so it has sparkles in it.
rolled it out
took some cookie cutters:
(started with the big hearts…..changed my mind….then decided to do our whole family– two big hearts (adults) three small hearts (our kiddos)
pressed our little fingerprints in and put in a pan to harden in the oven
(just followed the instructions on the package)
oh and I poked holes for the jump ring (before cooking!)
wrote on names and dates
and had to make my own jump rings because my hearts were too fat!
I used a crimp bead and added some beads…and decided that if I wore this is a necklace I would have a backache from carring this weight around.
so I turned it into a little hanging decor for my rearview mirror.
combined all the strings together
glued them together using clear nailpolish
added this hook
I already had an air freshener in my car…
so I cut off the air freshener and used the string to hang my fingerprints
I also thought that these would be so cute as a keychain
or you know those family home evening charts that have the pegs..these would be cute as the name tags for them.
you can read about it HERE
and check out these other fun sculpey ideas for mom’s
and i just did a silver bracelet knockoff~ go HERE

Lea in GA says
I made these with my toddler class as a gift for moms at our Mother’s Tea. I hot glued pin backs to them and included a poem about tiny fingerprints. It was a huge success. Thank you for sharing such an adorable idea.
Rob says
Out of curiosity do you think this would work with a fingerprint on each side or better to do a size that could fit two fingerprints (was thinking key chain from 2 kids for Mothers day).
Kimbo says
I think it could work…the only part I would be worried about it smooshing one side while putting a fingerprint in the other side!!! If you try it let me know if it works!!!
