- Next up – grab your white cardstock paper and pencil.
- 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 teacup gnome.
- Finally – fold in half and trim down another choice of colored cardstock paper {I did green} for his body and cut out a small oval nose shape from the brown cardstock paper.
- You now have all your pieces, it’s time to start assembling! Grab your choice of adhesive and all your paper cutouts.
- Start off by gluing the two handprint cutouts {his beard} under the teacup paper piece.
- Follow that up gluing on his nose to the center and the remaining paper on the back.
- To finish off your Tea Cup Gnome Keepsake, add some customization with some flower stickers.
- Now you can stop here or add any other embellishments you see fit, to give it your own personal spin!
