Popsicle Stick Reindeer Gnome
Today we’re going to create a fun and festive Christmas craft for kids—a reindeer gnome out of craft sticks! It’ll be easy enough for the littlest crafter, but pretty impressive looking. Let’s get started!
Craft Supplies:
- Jumbo Popsicle Sticks
- School Glue
- Brown Craft Paint
- Small Paper Plate
- Paint Brush
- Craft Scissors
- Brown Scrapbook Paper
- Green Scrapbook Paper
- Red Cardstock Paper
- White Cardstock Paper
- Gold Pipe Cleaner
- Tape or Washi Tape
- optional materials – holiday stickers, glitter, rhinestones etc.
Directions:
- First things first – grab three popsicle sticks {three per reindeer gnome} as well as the craft paint supplies.
- Squirt the paint on the paper plate.
- Go ahead and paint the THREE popsicle sticks completely brown.
- Next up – glue the three painted sticks together to look like a triangle.
- Set aside the triangle piece to let it dry completely.
- Repeat for each holiday inspired gnome you want to make today.
- While that is drying, grab all your paper sheets and scissors.
- Cut a triangular shape, from the brown scrapbook paper, that will be placed within the popsicle stick design and be the body of the gnome.
- Out of the green scrapbook paper, cut out a hat for the gnome.
- Out of the red cardstock, cut out an oval nose.
- Out of the remaining white cardstock, cut out his beard.
- Go ahead and glue all your paper pieces in place, with some school glue. The brown triangle goes on the back of the popsicle stick shape while all the other pieces go on the front.
- To finish off the Popsicle Stick Reindeer Gnomes – bend the gold pipe cleaner in half to make antlers and secure it in base with a piece of tape, on the back of the decorate popsicle stick shape.
- Then add other embellishments they see fit to complete the look.
- Once done, set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
- Don’t forget to share pictures with us on your social media sites! #gluedtomycrafts
