Greetings!  Chris here and today I am excited to share to patriotic gnome I created to celebrate the summer holidays! I love creating home decor and have been just waiting to play with this Clear Scraps XL Wood Gnome .  He was so fun to create and personalize! And being of Irish decent My Gnome needed to be a red bearded gnome!  A Clear Scraps have lots of wood shapes design to fit in your Gnome's hands! 

This Gnome project feature two (2)  products from Clear Scraps. 

Clear Scraps XL Wood Gnome 

Clear Scraps Wood Spring Collection shapes 3 pack

Other supplies: paint and patterned paper

 

 

Start by tracing your wood gnome pieces  onto patterned paper. Remember to flip over your pieces when tracing if you are tracing onto the back side of your papers.

Continue tracing all pieces and then cut out pieces. 

Trace your  Clear Scraps Wood Spring Collection shapes 3 pack onto patterned paper and cut out.

Paint your Gnome's beard and then let dry. I chose a combo of orange and red-orange paints.

Adhere your Gnome's beard, hands and nose.  When adhering hands position them so that all your finished Clear Scraps Wood Spring Collection shapes 3 pack will just set on them and you can change the shapes to match the season! 

 

 

Here is how the Shamrock looks.
