Handprint Gnome Valentine Craft

Materials

Cream-colored glitter paper
Cardstock - red pink, tan
White paper
Glue stick
Scissors
Heart paper punch
⅝ ” circle paper punch optional

Instructions

Begin by tracing your little one’s handprint on white paper.
Cut out the handprint.
Glue the handprint, fingers down towards the bottom of a sheet of red or pink cardstock folded in half.
Now, punch a small circle from the tan cardstock using the ⅝” paper punch. You could also cut a small circle out instead.
Glue the tan circle in the center of the handprint.
Next, cut a long triangle from the cream glitter paper to fit the width of the handprint. You could cut a curve in the triangle like we did, too.
Glue the triangle over half the nose and the top of the handprint.
Then, punch some small hearts out of another color cardstock. When we used the red card, we punched pink hearts. Using a pink card, we punched red hearts.
Glue the hearts on the gnome’s hat and around the card.
Finally, let your special person know there’s gnome-body like them with a Valentine message on the inside of the card.
