Let the kids use their fingers as paintbrushes and make this adorable fingerprint Christmas ornament card – it’s such a sweet and personal homemade card. And most importantly, it’s easy to make!
You can use up any ribbon from the gifts you have received or, if you don’t have any at hand, swap the ribbon with a drawn line (black marker works out great).

You don’t have to use fingerprints at all if your kids don’t like painting with fingers. Q-tips or a pencil with an eraser works out incredibly well for this project.
Sweet, isn’t it?
You can play with colors as well – make it as colorful as you want or even stick to only one color.
