Squirt your choice of color of craft paint on the paper plate.
Grab your paint brush and go ahead & paint the THREE popsicle sticks completely.
Next up – glue the three painted sticks together to look like a triangle with the school glue.
Set aside the triangle piece to let it dry completely.

While that is drying, grab all your paper sheets and scissors.
Cut a triangular shape, from the patterned scrapbook paper paper, that will be placed within the popsicle stick design and be the body of the gnome.
