Craft Foam Egg Gnome
Who says craft foam egg shapes can ONLY be for used as EGGS? At Glued To My Crafts, we have proven that you can easily step outside the box and make masterpieces regardless of what “the original intention was.”
With our Easter Egg Cupcake and Unicorn Egg craft posts, I’ve shown YOU how you can take a basic “egg shape” and turn it into something beyond the Easter holiday! Not to mention – the white handprint “beard” cutout in today’s gnome craft tutorial, makes it an awesome keepsake as well!
