Berry Best Nanny - Mother's Day Gift

I found a very cute gift on Pinterest (where I find a LOT of my crafts or recipes) and thought it'd be super cute to make for my husband's mother & grandmother for Mother's Day. They are two very influential people in my husbands life, my sons & even mine. They are two women that I hope to one day be like myself. :) Okay, okay, enough bragging... on to the craft!
I went to Menards (for those who have not heard of it, it's like a Lowe's or Home Depot so if you don't have a Menards, feel free to use one of those!)
I bought some ceramic tiles, I bought them kind of big to fit my son's hand. I bought some acrylic paint - red & green for this one; I bought some clear spray paint & also a permanent marker (I had one of those just laying around)

I cleaned the tile to make sure that there were no fingerprints or dust particles. I then painted my son's hand all red & had him place it on the tile.



I then painted green leaves at the top of the hand.

I took the black permanent marker & added dots to make the hands look like strawberries. Then I wrote on each tile. 
For my husband's grandmother - I wrote "Berry Best Nanny" For my husband's mother - I wrote "Berry Best Mawmaw" because that's what my son calls her.

Let them dry for a few hours. I then took them outside & sprayed them evenly with the clear spray.

They loved them! :)
Happy Mother's Day!
Enjoy!
