On Easter, when we were at my parent’s house, my sister had made some of these clay hands with her kids. I have seen them online in different forms, but after I saw it in person, I knew I wanted to make some with my kiddos. I thought they would make a cute homemade Mother’s Day gift for grandparents and ME! 🙂

Supplies Needed To Make This Homemade Mother’s Day Gift:
Small oven-safe bowl
Non-stick spray
Plastic knife
Directions To Make This Homemade Mother’s Day Gift:
First, roll out the clay to about 1/4″ thickness and big enough to fit your child’s entire hand.
Use a plastic knife to trace around your child’s hand.
Remove your child’s hand and cut it out entirely with the knife.
Once the hand print is cut out, I used the kids’ thumbs to make a heart in the center of the palm.
Next, spray the oven-safe bowl with non-stick spray.
Lay the hand print in the bowl so the fingers are up on the side of the bowl.
Your jewelry holder will differ in size depending on the size of your child’s hand and the size of your bowl.
I baked the holders based on the instructions on the back of the clay box.
Once they are cooked and cooled, it is time to paint.
I decided to make holders for friends and family so I had different sized hands I was working with. All the kids wanted to paint them differently. The younger kids wanted to paint them entirely and the older kids just wanted to paint the thumbprint hearts. They were all so cute!
These are the perfect addition to any mom’s dresser. They can hold jewelry, change and other small treasures.
With a bouquet of flowers, these clay hand jewelry holders are the perfect gift for Mother’s Day.

This is one of the cutest ideas! I am going to be babysitting my nephews this weekend, and I think we may just work on one of these as a Mother’s Day gift for my sister in law. Any cute Father’s Day ideas?
What a sweet idea for Mothers Day! I would love to receive something like this from my boys.
It is so sweet!
This is such an adorable idea! I love that it involves the children so much. Thanks for sharing with us at the Merry Monday link party! Hope to see you again next week!
Thanks for hosting Ashley.
Adorable!! I love these, and they’re totally perfect for rings and such! Featuring them tomorrow at Motivational Monday! 🙂
Thank you!
Omgosh this is seriously too cute! I wish I did these when my kids were little. I guess I can still have my youngest try this out with her small hands. You’re post will be one of my feature picks on the Merry Monday Link Party. Hope you can join us again tonight!
Thank you!
About how much clay did you need for each child? I want to be sure I purchase enough for all of the students to make one! Thank you!
I just used one kit for our kids hands. Not knowing how many kids you have and how many you are making, I would just read the back of the label to make sure. They are so cute and I still have them! Have fun!
