Pirate Gnome Handprint Craft For Kids
ARRRRGH my crafty friends! You are in for a REAL treat today with our latest handprint craft idea. It’s another first-seen-here design and I’m so excited to be adding this one to our “pirate themed” website archives. Just in time for your summer plans!
Today I’m going to show you and your child how EASY it is to make this handprint pirate craft within minutes with our TWO free provided printables below. Just grab the files, print them out and do some cutting to assemble your new gnome friend within minutes. That’s it! Easy peasy fun!
You can then take the finished pirate gnome keepsake piece and gift it for Father’s Day or anyone else you have in mind this summer. After all – there is ALWAYS a good time to tell someone you love them. And honestly, the possibilities are endless with how you decorate your paper pirate piece and who you gift it to. At the end of the day, I just hope you have a great time making it happen! I just want to INSPIRE you with our quick tutorial!
BTW – it’s going to be the CUTEST pirate craft you make this summer season because those two handprint cutouts for the pirate’s gnome beard are going to steal the show regardless. Just keep scrolling for ALL the details and free files!
