Next, paint a generous coat of school glue onto the surface. Let dry until TACKY (the glue needs to still be wet for the paint crackle finish to form).
Paint over the glue with white paint.
Paint your leaves with white chalky paint and let dry.
Cut your fabric and hot glue the ends together to form a hat shape.
Hot glue the hat, leaves and pinecones onto the wood plaque to form a gnome face.
