Paper Plate Gnome Ornament

The GNOME obsession continues on Glued To My Crafts with our latest paper plate Christmas ornament gnome craft idea!

This time we are taking that adorable handprint beard cutout and attaching it to a inexpensive paper plate that you decorate to look like a Christmas ornament, that in turn will look like the gnome’s body. I swear it sounds more complicated than it actually is!

So on that note, it’s time to start getting on our craft on! Keep scrolling for all the details so you and your child can recreate this unique paper plate Christmas gnome craft today! Just like the craft itself is unique to our website, I bet you and your child are going to make some UNIQUE {and extra beautiful!} gnome ornaments from paper plates, that you will for sure want to show off all season long!

Happy crafting, my friends and don’t forget to share pictures with us on our Facebook page! I can’t wait to see your paper plate gnome Christmas ornaments in action! #gluedtomycrafts
