Craft Supplies:

CHEF HAT PRINTABLE ON BOX.COM
Color Printer
White Cardstock Paper
Gray Cardstock Paper
Tan Cardstock Paper
Pencil or Pen
Craft Scissors
Glue Stick, Tape Runner or Handheld Stapler

Directions:

First things first, grab the free “blank chef hat” file {listed above in the supply list} and print it out on white cardstock paper.
If desired, you can color in the chef hat but I prefer the plain, white instead.
Anyways – trim out the hat piece and discard excess paper.
Now grab your gray cardstock paper and trace both of your child’s hands {one at a time, in separate locations} on the paper.
When done tracing, trim them both out. This will be the beard for your baker.
Finally – cut out a small oval nose shape from the kraft colored cardstock paper.
Now it’s time to start assembling! Grab your choice of adhesive and all the paper cutouts.
To finish off your Paper Chef Keepsake, start off by gluing the two handprint cutouts {his beard} to under the chef hat. Follow that up gluing on his button nose.
Now you can stop here or add any other embellishments you see fit, to give it your own personal spin!
Then display your handprint baker gnome paper piece proudly for ALL to see!!
