DIY Grinch Craft | Fingerprint Decorated Ornaments

This craft is inspired by one of our favorite Christmas movies, The Grinch. They are easy to make with clear ornaments and the special added touch is a red heart made with two painted fingerprints! Simply paint or fill with colored balls and bells to make pretty keepsakes or gifts for the holidays.

What you need:

  • 6-8 small or medium size clear ornaments
  • green acrylic paint
  • red acrylic paint
  • 1 24 pack pack green pompoms
  • 1 pack small green bells 
  • green pipe cleaners

Directions:

  1. You can make these ornaments two ways: painted or filled.
  2. For painted, pour a fee drops of bright green paint inside a few clear ornaments. 
  3. Swirl around until the entire inside is coated then set aside, propped up so they do not roll and drip, until they completely dry.
  4. For the filled, add small green pompom balls, sparkly green rolled up pipe cleaners, and mini green bells until each ornament is full to the top.
  5. Add the tops to all finished ornaments.
  6. For the fingerprints: pour a small amount of red paint onto a paper plate and dip a thumb (my kids loved this part) into color then press and hold onto ornament for a few seconds.
  7. Repeat again making a heart shaped with the thumbprints.
  8. Let dry completely then hang on your tree or wrap up as a gift!

🍜 We had so much fun celebrating Lunar New Year last weekend with dinner at @pho_85_noodle_house_llc in Bentonville, AR! The Banh Mi sandwich and Beef and Seafood Pho soups were filled with fresh ingredients and flavor packed. As you can see their portions were huge so it's a great place to share! We also tried an appetizer sampler, Thai Tea, Coconut Boba Smoothie (my girls' favorite) and macarons for dessert. Everything was made to order and delicious. The staff was kind and helpful. If you live near by, check them out and #eatlocall ! ❤️ @visitbentonville #Bentonville  #pho85noodlehouse #arkansasfoodie #whatsfordinner #arkansasblogger #supportlocal #bentonvillearkansas #lunarnewyear #chinesenewyear

🌟I had to step out of my comfort zone today and attend my first networking event since moving to Arkansas. I already  struggle with meeting new people and being social since I work from home but now I live in a new city and know no one. Thank goodness I found @winnwa . The networking lunch today at @bonefishgrill was exciting, encouraging, and of course, fun! Over 80 local business women attended and everyone had a chance to introduce themselves and share what they do. I look forward to more  #womeninnetworking events in the future. Hoping to make some new friends too!
