Directions:
- First things first – download, print and cut out your Christmas tree shape from the green cardstock paper.
- Go ahead and cut off the tree stump on the bottom of the cutout.
- Discard excess paper.
- Flip over your tree cutout, so the lines can’t be seen anymore.
- Now grab your remaining pieces of paper.
- Trace/cut out a HANDPRINT beard from the white, a large triangle hat from the scrapbook paper, an oval nose from the kraft and finally – two boots from the black.
- Now you are ready to assemble! Grab your green tree shape, the glue stick and all the paper pieces.
- Start off with the boots. Secure them to the bottom/back side of the tree shape.
- Now glue down the beard on the front side, in the center of the tree.
- Follow that up with the hat for the “tree topper” and then the nose on top, to tie it all together.
- Add any other embellishments you see fit. Maybe some glitter or a pom pom on the hat!
- Finally – display proudly for ALL to see!
- You can also hole punch a hole on the top of it and string it, to make an ornament or gift tag.
- Don’t forget to share pictures of your Christmas Tree Gnomes with us on your social media sites! #gluedtomycrafts
