Funtivity Friday - Finger Print Drawings

On Tuesday we talked about a couple of books that help you create artwork out of finger prints. For more about that going to Tips for Tuesday: Finger Print Books. However, even if you don't have access to these books you can still create pictures out of finger prints. Below are some examples of finger print pictures we created on our own:

4) Draw a face on the first finger print on the bottom of page including ears on top of the finger print.

5) Draw legs and a tail on the second finger print at the bottom of the page.
