Family Fingers

A super easy, fun family tree of sorts.  We did this this summer when visiting Iowa.  My brother just had his second and last child, so thought it would be a good time.  We contemplated several shapes, including a circle, but determined that this one worked the best.  You could hand write them out as well, but I have AWFUL handwriting, so computer it is.

Make sure you leave space for your prints.  I would highly recommend that you practice as well.  I found that less ink and less pressure on the paper was the best method.  For the frame I used modge podge and paper bags.  Tear the bags into pieces with no straight edges, past modge podge on the frame and the sack.  Apply to frame, making sure to overlap and cover the edges.  The final step I did was to go over then entire frame with a thin coating of the modge podge.   As the bags were done I and gave it a few minutes to dry.  Finially, I used a spray poly urethane so seal it and to make sure that it didn't tear.
