Snowflake Winter Gnome Art Project Using Craft Foam

Hi friends! Do you by chance have a few leftover craft foam snowflakes in your holiday stash right now?

Perhaps you are like me and picked up a pack at Dollar Tree recently {or cough cough – last year!} but honestly had no clue what you were going to use them for?

Well worry no more because I have the absolute PERFECT last minute craft idea that you literally pull together RIGHT NOW without even double thinking it. Other than the white craft foam snowflake shapes themselves, all you need is a few pieces of colored paper, white paint, a glue stick, your trusty scissors and a few small rhinestones to pull it off. I’m telling you, it’s that’s easy to do. Not to mention, super awesome {and unique} to show off all season long!

So enough chit chat from me because Christmas is right around the corner and I just know you want to get those crafts knocked out with the kids today! Keep scrolling for the 5-minute tutorial and get ready to pull it off just as fast as we did!
