How to Make Handprint Flower Craft
If you want a fun and easy spring craft, try making a handprint flower craft. This project is perfect for kids of all ages, and it’s a great way to show off your child’s handprint for years to come. In just a few minutes, you’ll have a beautiful handprint flower perfect for decorating your home or giving to a friend.
Trace the child’s hand on the scrapbook paper, card stock paper, or construction paper and cut it apart. We used white paper since Cala lilies are white, but you can make the flower unique by using any color.
Cut out green leaves in several different shapes.
Mother’s Day Craft and Printables:
Cut the chenille stem in half and fold each half in half.
Curl the ends of the chenille stem.
Place the folded corner into the mouth of a green straw.
Wrap the hand cutout around a pencil to curl. You may need to leave the paper wrapped around the pencil for several hours so it curls more easily.
Wrap the hand cutout around the straw and secure it with glue. Allow to dry completely before playing or displaying.
Now the handprint paper craft cutout will resemble a handprint flower.
Attach one or several leaves you cut out to the bottom of the handprint flower. Glue the leaves to the bottom of the flower and the top of the green straw.
After you have made a few flowers, assemble them in a small, simple vase to display as a flower bouquet.
Spring is approaching, so it’s time to consider Easter and Mother’s Day Crafts and gifts. These handprint flowers are the perfect gift for the spring season. Kids will love making them, and they make great decorations for your home or classroom.

Handprint Flowers for Kids
Handprint flowers are a fantastic activity suitable for all ages, and in this blog post, we're excited to guide you through creating this delightful craft
Materials
- Construction paper or cardstock - prepare in white and green colors
- Glue (or glue dots)
- Chenille stems in colors yellow or orange
- Green-colored straws
- A pair of scissors
- Pencil
Instructions
- Begin by tracing your child's hand on paper. We opted for white paper since Cala lilies are typically white, but feel free to get creative and use any color you like to make your flower unique!
- Grab some green paper and cut out several leaves in various shapes. You can make them long and narrow like grass blades or round and broad like traditional leaves.
- Take a chenille stem and cut it in half. Then, fold each half in half again.
- Then, take the ends of the chenille stems that we folded earlier and curl them gently.
- Take the folded corner of each chenille stem and carefully insert it into the mouth of a green straw.
- Take the hand cutout we made earlier and wrap it around a pencil to curl the fingers. Press the paper against the pencil and hold it for a few hours to help it curl easier.
- Carefully wrap the hand cutout around the straw, positioning it to resemble flower petals. Allow the glue to dry completely before handling or displaying your handprint flower.
- Take one or several of the leaves you previously cut out and attach them to the bottom of the handprint flower. Apply glue to the bottom of the flower and the top of the green straw, then carefully position the leaves in place.
- Finally, assemble your handmade flowers in a small, simple vase to display!
