A keepsake Christmas ornament cut to the shape of your child's hand — a sweet annual tradition or a thoughtful gift for grandparents.

## _IMPORTANT - Make sure to measure the hand from the lowest to highest point to resize the ornament by using handHeight parameter if you wish the hand to be to scale_

## Tips:

-   Draw with a thick black marker on plain white paper — cleaner contrast = cleaner engrave. Snap a photo or scan, crop tight to the hand with no extra background, and upload as a PNG or JPG.
    
-   You may need to adjust the text and year position and scale parameters to make it appear more centrally on the ornament.
    
-   Size will automatically be adjusted to the width parameter
    
-   Make a fresh one each year — kids' drawings changes so quickly, and you'll end up with a beautiful collection lined up on the tree.
    
-   Remove the hole and turn it into a fridge magnet or wall art
    

## Image Advice:

-   Ideally upload a 'closed' hand
    
-   If an open hand is added the template check the 'Close Hand' parameter
    
-   Solid black marker on a white background cropped closely.
