    1. First things first \u2013 the beard of the gnome. Go ahead and take your paper plate & cut it in half.<\/li>\n
    2. Keep one half for the craft today and save the other for another day<\/li>\n
    3. Along the curved edge of the paper plate half cut small notches, that are really close together, until you get to the other side of the paper plate {make sure to not go all the way through the paper plate and accidently cut your plate in half} If your child needs help on this step and doesn\u2019t know where to cut, you can draw some lines with a marker and have children cut each line.<\/li>\n
    4. When you are done cutting the paper plate and making his beard, curl a couple of the strips up and down to give it some texture and some flair. Set aside.<\/li>\n
    5. Now grab your choice of color in scrapbook paper.<\/li>\n
    6. Cut out a LARGE triangle from the scrapbook paper. This will be the Christmas gnome\u2019s hat.<\/li>\n
    7. Next, out of the tan cardstock, cut out a large oval shape for his nose.<\/li>\n
    8. To finish off the Paper Plate Gnome<\/strong><\/em> craft, staple the triangle hat to the paper plate beard.<\/li>\n
    9. Follow that up by gluing the nose in place.<\/li>\n
    10. Add a few snowflake stickers or paper embellishments to the hat, to tie the winter theme together.<\/li>\n
    11. Then let it all dry completely before displaying proudly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
