Kids will start with a DIY Ceramic Coaster. An adult would use a black permanent marker to draw a squiggly line on the coaster and add little squares on the line for where the child is going to put their fingerprint lights. You will also add the words "Merry Christmas" to the coaster with the black permanent marker or have the child put his or her name and date on it. Use a foam brush to paint the child's fingerprint a bright color and add that color light to the string. Repeat this step for more colors (red, orange, yellow, green, and blue paint were from the Tropical Acrylic Paint Set). Once completely dry, use a foam brush to put thin coats of Mod Podge® Acrylic Sealer over the top and sides of the coaster to seal. Cut four 1x1 inch squares from a piece of Self-Adhesive Foam Sheet and attach to the back four corners of the coaster so that the coaster doesn't scratch the furniture. Once completely dry, use tissue paper to wrap and place in a Small Kraft paper Gift Bag. Use Baker's Twine to attach the free printable gift tag.
