Popsicle Stick Gnomes Supplies:

* Jumbo Popsicle Sticks {3 per gnome}
* School Glue
* Colored Cardstock {we used tan & red}
* Scrapbook Paper
* White Cotton Balls
* Kid Friendly Scissors
* Large Wiggle Eyes
optional – craft paint, loose craft glitter, rhinestones etc.

Directions:

* First grab three popsicle sticks {three per gnome} and glue them together to look like a triangle. Set aside to let it dry completely. Repeat.
* While those are drying, grab your cardstock paper and cut a triangular shape that will be placed within the popsicle stick design and be the face of the gnome. At this time, you should also cut out a triangular hat and circular nose from the remaining paper.
* To finish off the Popsicle Stick Gnomes – have children glue their paper pieces in place, as well as a full cotton ball beard and two wiggle eyes. Then add other embellishments they see fit to complete the look. Once done, set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
