Foam Easter Egg Shapes Turned Gnomes For Easter!

Who says craft foam egg shapes can ONLY be for used as EGGS? At Glued To My Crafts, we have proven that you can easily step outside the box and make masterpieces regardless of what “the original intention was.”

With our Easter Egg Cupcake Friends and Craft Foam Egg Unicorn posts, I’ve shown YOU how you can take a basic “egg shape” and turn it into something beyond the Easter holiday! Not to mention – the handprint “beard” cutout makes it an awesome keepsake as well!

So on that note, are you ready to recreate these Craft Foam Egg Garden Gnomes? Find the full tutorial by scrolling below! Then, when you make our craft idea come to life in your home, come share pictures of your creations on our Facebook page or tag us on Instagram to see!

Happy crafting, my friends! I hope you are inspired by today’s handprint Easter gnome tutorial! Have fun! #gluedtomycraftsinspiresyou

PAIR YOUR EASTER EGG GNOME FRIEND WITH —> Popsicle Stick Bunny Gnome

Easter Gnome Craft Supplies:

Large, Craft Foam Egg Shapes {I got mine at Michaels – one per egg gnome craft}
White Cardstock
Spring Patterned Scrapbook Paper
Kraft Colored Cardstock
Black Colored Cardstock
Pencil or Pen
Craft Scissors
Glue Stick
optional – spring themed stickers, glitter glue, sequins etc.

Directions:

First things first – grab your white cardstock and pencil.
Pick a hand and have children lay it flat on the white paper.
Trace around your child’s hand with the pencil.
When done tracing, lift up their hand and trim out the traced design on the paper, with your paper scissors. This will be the beard for the Easter gnome.
Set it aside.
Now grab your patterned scrapbook paper.
Cut out a large triangle hat for the gnome.
Grab the kraft colored cardstock.
Cut out an oval shaped nose.
Finally – cut out two half circle “shoes” for your gnome, from the black colored cardstock.
Now you are ready to assemble it all together.
Grab your craft foam egg shape.
Start off my gluing down the black boots to the bottom of the craft foam egg shape.
Then glue down the handprint beard onto the egg shape.
Follow that up by gluing down the paper hat and then the nose.
To finish off your Handprint Easter Egg Gnome Keepsake, add any other embellishments you see fit.
Then display your new paper and craft foam Easter gnome friend proudly for ALL to see!!
