Just in time for Spring. Frame it for your mantel, or photograph it for the front of this year's Easter cards! Materials Light colored canvas or cotton fabric Fabric paint Small paint brush Embroidery hoop, needle & thread Iron Optional: Contrasting scrap fabric Computer printed message Glue   How-To

• Paint a thin layer over child's palm and fingers, excluding thumb. Visible brush strokes are great, because they mimic rabbit fur.
• Holding child's fingers in a "V" formation (pinky & ring fingers together/middle & pointer fingers together), press painted hand firmly onto fabric. Taking care not to slide hand, carefully peel hand up and off of fabric. Let hand print dry.
• Place fabric into embroidery hoop; use satin stitch and back stitch to embroider ear centers, nose and mouth onto handprint.
• Iron piece flat.
• Glue on fabric scrap "background" pieces and printed message onto blank area of piece.
• Frame & enjoy!
