[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 563616, member: 1233"] You can get them at most craft stores. You can also just buy the modelling clay or make salt dough and DIY it. To DIY it, you could buy the sculpey type clay and roll it out to the thickness you want, then do her handprint and bake it. Then just glue it into a jar lid or tie ribbon around the edge and glue a hanger to the back of it (could be a loop of thread or ribbon). I don't know if you want to make clay, but I can give you a recipe or three if you want. If you were willing to bake the print, you can mix a small amt of applesauce with cinnamon (will need a lot, check BigLots or dollar stores because cheap quality works just as well in this project) to make a clay. I usually mix in a generous squirt of Elmer's glue (NOT school glue - the all purpose white glue) because this helps it last and makes it stronger. Roll out the clay, make the handprint, and bake at 200 until firm but not cracked. It will smell wonderful and last for years. I have zero clue why this lasts for years, but I have some that are twenty years old. [/QUOTE]
