Gnome Beard Template
Construction paper – white, assorted colors

Folded Paper Gnome Craft Step by Step Directions

Begin with a full sheet of construction paper, placed vertically. A lightweight cardstock would work fine, as well.

Bring one corner of the paper over, forming a triangle.

Then, fold the point of the triangle down.

Now, use the template to cut a beard out of white paper. Glue in place under the fold.

Next, either use a 1.5″ circle paper punch or the circle in the template form a nose out of your chosen color paper. Glue that in place over the fold. If you were making this into a card, make sure the nose is only glued to the white beard paper.
