Paper Plate Santa Gnome

Bring the magic of Christmas to life with this easy paper plate Santa gnome craft for kids! He’s perfect for decorating your home or classroom.

Craft Supplies:

Large Paper Plate
Skin-toned Craft Paint
Paint Brush
Single Hole Punch
White Tulle
Santa Hat Printable {on box.com}
Color Printer
Red Cardstock Paper
Brown Cardstock Paper
Craft Scissors
School Glue
Stapler
Cotton Balls or White Pom Poms

Directions:

First things first – cut your large paper plate in half. Straight up the center to create TWO equal sized pieces.
Reverse one half of it for today’s craft and save the other for a rainy day.
Next up – completely paint your paper plate with the skin tone colored craft paint.
When done, set aside to let it dry completely.
Now is the perfect time to cut out the Santa hat from your printed printable.
Discard excess paper.
At this point in time you should also cut out a large oval shape for his nose from the brown.
Set aside all your pieces till later.
Next, grab your painted paper plate piece and the hole punch.
Using your hole punch, punch SIX holes in the paper plate piece. You want them in the center of the paper plate, but on the side that is a completely straight. Be sure to leave a small space between each hole as you go. This is where the beard will be for your gnome.
Now grab your white tulle and scissors.
Cut SIX 12″ inch strips for your craft.
One by one, thread and tie them off, through the holes you just punched in the paper plate.
To finish the Paper Plate and Tulle Beard Santa Gnome craft – simply staple/glue on the hat piece & nose, while adding some cotton balls to the rim of his red cardstock hat.
Go ahead and add any other embellishments you see fit.
Then display proudly for all to see!
Don’t forget to snap a few pictures to share on our Facebook wall, so we can see your tulle beard Santa too!
