Bring on the fall decor! Not only is today’s Airbrush Handprint Turkey decor idea super easy and an adorable piece to add to a front door wreath, it also makes for a great keepsake to gift to the grandparents this holiday season!
Airbrush Handprint Turkey Keepsake
With just an airbrush machine and a little crafty imagination, you too can pull this SIMPLE keepsake idea together with your child in no time! We’re partnering with Testors® Aztek® airbrush machines to make our Handprint Turkey Decor.
So what are you waiting for? Don’t be a TURKEY – this idea is super easy to whip up and I hope you are inspired to “gobble” up your own with your child today! Happy crafting and decorating your home for your fall festivities, my friends!!!
Supplies:
- Testors® Aztek® Airbrush
- Testors® Aztek® Blue Mini Compressor
- Testors® Aztek® Airbrushable acrylic paints
- Wood Piece {large enough to fit your child’s hand and have some space around it}
- Removable Vinyl
- Scissors
- Marker
- Scrapbook Stickers
- Ribbon
- Hot Glue Gun
Instructions:
First you will want to trace your child’s hand on the removable vinyl. Trim it out, remove the backing and place the vinyl piece in the center of your wood.
With the remaining vinyl, trim out a triangle for the turkey’s beak, as well as some legs. Remove the backing and place those on the wood piece as well to finish your turkey design.
Now get your air brush hot and ready! Using the sprayer – spray paint ALL around {and on} the handprint cutout design, making sure it’s really covered. Set aside to let it dry completely for a few minutes.
Once the paint is dry, you are ready to peel away the vinyl to reveal a turkey silhouette design underneath. At this point you can add touch-ups if needed and add your scrapbook stickers to finish it off. We did “Gobble Gobble” but you are can also put “Happy Thanksgiving” or any other saying you like.
To finish it off and make it easy for displaying, hot glue some ribbon on the back and hang away! Don’t forget to put your child’s name/age on the back so you remember when it was made!
