Instructions in 6 steps A beautiful memory of little children's hands and a creative flamingo picture in a single decoration. Furthermore, you can make it glow with Finger paint. And this is how it works:

Schritt 1

Mix one part of the white and the cardinal red finger paint in the ratio of 1 : 1 to reach a nice pink colour. Coat richly the children’s hand palms with this paint mixture by means of the flat brush.

Schritt 2

In order to obtain a good yield, you have to lead the children’s hands. The ball of the thumbs lie next to each other, the fingers have to be extended outwards and the thumbs form in the middle a triangle at least 45 degrees.

Tip: Press additionally onto the children’s hand’s pressure to achieve a complete impression of the hand palms.

Schritt 3

While the paint is drying out, you can paint the outer side of the canvas frame with the mixture out of white & cardinal red colour and water in the ratio of 1 : 1 by means of the flat brush.

Schritt 4

Now, make a preliminary sketch of the head and the legs with a pencil. Paint the neck and the head with the lighter pink colour mixture with a round brush. Use the darker colour mixture for the beak, the legs and the heart (as for the edge of the frame).

Schritt 5

At the end, bring out the eyes and a part of the beak with the black & white colour.

Schritt 6

Once the colour has dried out, you can cut the paper at the corresponding format and affix it onto the canvas frame by means of the double-sided adhesive tape.
