Paper Heart Doily Gnome Valentines - Kid Craft Idea

Valentine’s Day Gnome Cards

I’ve got GNOME crafts coming out of our ears at Glued To My Crafts!

And since you landed on today’s paper heart gnome cards post, I bet you are super excited to add some of these adorable paper friends to your Valentine’s Day craft plans – right?! After all – gnomes have taken a HUGE leap from the garden this past year and have become a very hot trend as of late!

So on that note, today we are going to forgo the traditional look of a paper heart doily on paper and turn them upside down to give our gnome a long, white beard! Who knew, right?!

From there, all you need is a basic triangle hat on top and a small heart sticker in the center, for his nose. EASY PEASY steps and supplies – especially if you need to make a HUGE stack all at once.

Anyways – I’ll let you get to it so you can make these for friends, family or even for in the classroom! You can find all the crafty details in the full tutorial below, as well as some cute Valentine’s Day kid friendly jokes to include inside the cards!

  • White Paper Heart Doilies {one per card}
  • Colored Cardstock Cards {think shades of red, purple, pink}

Directions:

  • Following that step, cut out a simple triangle shape from the scrapbook paper.
  • Adhere the triangle piece to the tip of the paper heart doily to create his hat.
  • To finish off your doily gnome valentine, simple add his heart shaped “nose” to the center of it all, to tie it together.
  • Go ahead and also write a quirky saying like “I GNOME you” or “I love you GNOME matter what” on the outside of the card as well.
  • Then add other embellishments you see fit – like bows, glitter, stamped sentiments etc.!
