This is the coolest Valentine’s Day gift idea I’ve seen in a while.  If you’re looking for a unique way to express your love (and get some art on your walls), read on!   

Chris Gardner, the creative mind and DIY guru behind the fabulous blog Man Made DIY, was inspired by those DNA portraits we’ve all seen but wanted something a little less high-tech and a bit more handmade.  His solution?  Custom fingerprint art!

For this simple and inexpensive (only $6) project, you’ll need:

  • Ink pad and paper
  • Scanner
  • Computer and graphics software
  • Printing method

Once you’ve gathered your supplies and are ready to get your fingers dirty, check out Man Made DIY for the full tutorial!

  1. What a great idea. I am going to make the finger print wall art for my sweetie for valentines. Costco prints to canvas.
    Thanks for the great idea.
