Handprint Bouquet Cards

There’s just something timeless about handprint crafts, isn’t there?

Seeing those tiny fingers preserved on paper is a simple yet powerful reminder of childhood's fleeting magic. And when you turn those handprints into a beautiful bouquet of dried flowers? It’s a keepsake worth treasuring.

This nature-inspired kids’ craft uses simple supplies—just cardstock, glue, scissors, and dried flowers.

It’s low-mess, low-prep, and full of meaning. Whether you use real dried flowers, paper blooms, or even stickers, this project is a sweet way to preserve a moment in time.

Read on to see how we made them.

Supplies:

  • 2 sheets of cardstock (use contrasting or complementary colors)

  • Pencil

  • Scissors

  • Glue

  • Dried flowers and/or pressed leaves

Directions:

  • Trace your child’s hand. Use a pencil to outline their hand and wrist on one sheet of cardstock.

  • Cut it out. Carefully cut along the traced line to create your hand shape.

  • Create the card. Fold the second piece of cardstock in half (hamburger-style) to form a greeting card base.

  • Glue the hand. Gently bend the fingers of the handprint inward toward the palm (like it's holding something), then glue the wrist/base of the hand onto the front of the card.

  • Add your bouquet. Tuck and glue your dried flowers, leaves, or alternative blooms into the handprint to look like a gathered bouquet.

  • Personalize it. Once the glue has dried, open the card and add a sweet message inside. Then gift it to someone you love!

🌼 No dried flowers on hand? No problem—this craft works just as well with paper or fabric flowers, or even flower-themed stickers!
