  • When done decorating the paper plate, set it aside to let it dry completely.
  • Next up – the paper elements that will bring the gnome ornament to life. Go ahead and grab your paper pieces, pencil & the scissors.
  • Out of the white cardstock paper, trace your child’s hand for the beard. Trim it out.
  • Out of the kraft colored cardstock paper, cut out a large oval nose.
  • Last, out of the scrapbook paper, cut out a large triangle hat for your gnome.
  • Now we are heading to the final steps! Once the decorated paper plate is completely dry, go ahead and staple the handprint cutout to it.
