Handprint Flower Pot Craft

Today we’re sharing an adorable and cheerful handprint craft. This Handprint Flower Pot Craft works wonderfully for many different occasions. It can become a lovely Valentine’s Day project, a thoughtful Mother’s Day gift for Mom, or an enjoyable spring handprint activity.

In my opinion, handprint crafts are always a wonderful choice. They create especially meaningful keepsakes, whether you’re marking a holiday or simply crafting for fun. Including a precious handprint makes the project even more special and creates a treasured memory to save for many years.

To keep this project simple for even the smallest hands and suitable for any occasion, we’ve also provided a Free Printable Template for the flower pot. Older children may prefer to draw the pieces themselves, if they wish. The best part of crafting is that there truly aren’t any rules!

Flower Pot Handprint Valentine’s Day Craft

Before beginning your handprint flower pots, print our flower pot template.

Gather cardstock in brown, green, and the flower color you prefer, along with markers, a glue stick, and scissors.

Markers – green, metallic, colors of choice

Handprint Flower Craft Step by Step Directions

Begin by printing the flower pot template, then trim out each piece.

Next, trace the flower pot onto the cardstock color you selected. We used brown, though any shade will work. Trace and cut the stem and leaf pieces from green cardstock as well. To finish this step, trace and cut the heart from your chosen color.

For the flower, trace a handprint onto the cardstock color of your choice and cut it out.

Add decorative details to the flower pot with a marker. Metallic markers are our favorite, but any type of marker can be used.

After that, attach the stem to the upper back portion of the pot with glue.

Place the leaf cutouts on either side of the stem cutout and glue them in place.

At the top open end of the stem cutout, glue on the handprint layout cutout.

Decorate the leaf and stem pieces with a marker. If desired, you can also trace around the flower with a marker.

To finish this cheerful and charming project, glue the heart onto the pot. For an extra-special touch, write a playful message on the pot, such as I Heart You inside the heart.
