It is a craft that you can do with all ages, it doesn’t take long, requires minimal supplies and will create a lasting keepsake that mom will treasure for years to come!
Follow these simple step-by-step instructions to create your own Mother’s Day Fingerprint Keychain.
Supplies Needed:
- Rolling pin (Or something to roll the clay out with)
- Sculpey clay (purchased at Walmart or Amazon)
- Cookie Cutters
- A child
- Straw
- Keychain ring
- Sculpey Knife (comes in kit or something to cut the clay with)
- Parchment paper or foil
- Baking sheet
Don’t be intimidated by the supply list, most of these items you can find in your home other than the clay.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
*Tip* Before starting lay some foil or parchment paper down so clay does not stick to surface.
- Cut clay in half, use the knife in scupley kit or a butter knife.
- Soften clay with hands, place parchment paper over clay and roll out until smooth with rolling pin (or whatever roller you have).
- Using a cookie cutter (or jar, cup, etc.) to make your shape. You can also cut out your shape using your knife, if you don’t have a cookie cutter.
- Use a straw to put a hole into the clay (this is for the key ring later.)
- Use your child’s pointer finger, toe or whatever they will let you use to add a finger print, then repeat at an angle to create a heart.
- Place clay on baking sheet or glass baking dish.
- Bake at 275* for 25 minutes.
- Take out of oven and let cool.
- Once fully cooled, attach key ring. (I used a pen to keep the key ring open while I slid the keychain on, just to be safe.)
That’s it! Wrap up this sweet gift for the mom in your life this mother’s day!
*Tip: Use a permanent marker to write name and date on back of keychain, so mom can look back to see when it was made.
