• Step 1

  Sift together salt and flour. Slowly pour in water a bit at a time while mixing with a wooden spoon. Continue adding water and mixing until your dough is the consistency of playdough.

• Step 2

  Roll dough on a lightly floured surface until it is 1/4 inch thick.

• Step 3

  You'll need to help babykins out, so spread her little fingers a bit and press down into the dough to make a firm print. Give the little crafter a cracker and send her on her way.

• Step 4

  Cut a circle around the print and lay it on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. If you wish to stamp letters around the print using rubber stamps, now is the time:) Also,make a small hole at the top with a drinking straw or a chop stick!

• Step 5

  Bake for 2 hours at 250 degrees.

• Step 6

  Cool completely! If you stamped the names/dates onto the circle, fill them in with a bit of black paint or ink.

• Step 7

  Mix your paint with a bit of water if you wish. I used about half paint and half water so it would look like a wash of color, rather than a solid print. It's all up to you! Paint the center of the handprint.

• Step 8

  Once the paint is completely dry, brush a layer of Sparkle Mod Podge over the whole thing. Don't be stingy! Glitter rules!

• Step 9

  Once your Mod Podge is dry, string a ribbon or twine through the hole and you are ready to gift this little baby!
