Next up - trace your child's hand THREE times on your white cardstock.

When done tracing, trim out each piece with your paper scissors. Each one will be a beard for your gnomes.

Set those aside.

Now grab your patterned scrapbook paper.

Cut out THREE large triangle hats. Two green ones for Santa's elves and a red hat for Santa.

Finally - cut out a small oval nose shape, for EACH gnome, from the kraft colored cardstock.

Now you are ready to assemble it all together.

Start off my gluing down the THREE white handprint cutouts, in a row, on the gray colored cardstock paper. You want the fingertips facing downward but make sure you DON'T cover up the printed words.

Follow up that step by gluing down the hats {Santa in the middle} on the palms of the handprint cutouts.

Then glue down the oval noses to complete each gnome.

To finish off your Paper Christmas Santa & His Elves Keepsake, write your name in the provided space and add any other embellishments you see fit, to give it that holiday spin!

Then display your Christmas gnome masterpiece proudly for ALL to see!!
