I needed a craft idea for my son's first grade class party and saw
these ornaments on the
eighteen25 blog. I found out that we couldn't do ornaments for his class, so we thought maybe little tiles that they can take home and put easels.
Here is how we did it:

Supplies -
White, black and orange acrylic paint
1 foam paint brush
1 4"X4" tile (I found a box of these in our garage - it's a mess, but also has a few goodies)
toothpick

1 - Generously paint the inside of hand with white paint just down to the knuckles.

2 - Pressed it hard on to the tile and let it dry for about 10-15 minutes.

3 - My seven year old used a toothpick to create the eyes, buttons, nose and brim of the hat with black and orange paint.

4 - He used a flat 1/4" wide brush in a upward sweeping motion to make the rest of the hat.

It's done! Now, let it dry and put it on an easel or attach a ribbon with glue and hang it on the tree!

those are just adorable! thank you for sharing~
This is a better idea than the ornament. Ornaments break. And then moms cry and try to tell the kid that it's not really that big of a deal...but it is...maybe.
