Lightly sketch the Grinch’s hand holding a string at the top of your canvas. You can use a pencil for easy erasing.
Paint the hand in green and add the red sleeve with white trim. Outline details with black paint for a cartoon-style look.
Allow the paint to dry completely before moving on.
Insert your child’s photo into a clear ornament, trimming it to fit snugly inside. Add a pinch of fake snow or glitter for extra holiday sparkle.
Glue or tape the ornament string to the painted “hand,” making it appear as if the Grinch is holding it.
Tie a neat red ribbon bow on top of the ornament and secure it with glue.
Finish by adding holly leaves or small Christmas embellishments at the bottom corner of the canvas for a cheerful touch.
