Snowflake 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!
Happy crafting, my dear friends! May your holidays be extra crafty and wonderful! Be sure to also Glued To My Crafts on Facebook so you never miss a new tutorial from us in the new year! #gluedtomycrafts

Directions:
- First things first – glue ONE snowflake craft foam shape in the middle of the blue cardstock paper.
- Next up, grab your remaining sheets of cardstock paper and cut out a large triangle hat and small oval nose.
- Go ahead and glue those in place, on the snowflake shape. Start with the hat, then the nose.
- Now go ahead and grab the white craft paint and your paper plate.
- Squirt a small amount on the plate and dip your finger in it.
- Go ahead and make “snow” dots all around the snowflake design.
- Use baby wipes to clean off paint from fingers {as well as getting a quick wash at the sink!}
- To finish off the craft foam snowflake gnome tutorial, simple add a few small rhinestone stickers on the exposed tips of the snowflake.
- At this point in time you can also add other embellishments like glitter glue, small holiday stickers etc. to really make it your own!
- Then when done, display it proudly! And that’s it! Admire your hard work because I bet it turned out awesome!
