Looking for a fun and easy Saint Patrick’s Day craft for kids? Look no further than this popsicle stick leprechaun gnome tutorial!
Craft Supplies:
- Jumbo Wood Sticks
- School Glue
- Green Craft Paint
- Small Paper Plate
- Foam Paint Brush
- Kid Friendly Craft Scissors
- Green Scrapbook Paper
- Orange Cardstock Paper
- Green Cardstock Paper
- Gold Glitter Cardstock Paper
Directions:
- The fun starts here! First things first – grab three popsicle sticks, as well as the craft paint supplies.
- Squirt your green craft paint on the paper plate.
- Grab your paint brush and go ahead & paint the THREE popsicle sticks completely.
- Next up – glue the three painted sticks together to look like a triangle with the school glue.
- Set aside the triangle piece to let it dry completely.
- Repeat for each leprechaun inspired gnome you want to make today.
- While that is drying, grab all your paper sheets and scissors.
- Cut a triangular shape, from the green patterned scrapbook paper paper, that will be placed within the popsicle stick design and be the body of the gnome.
- Out of the remaining cardstock, you want to cut out a long orange beard, a green hat, gold glitter nose and anything else you can think of!
- To finish off the Popsicle Stick Leprechaun Gnome – go ahead and glue all your paper pieces in place, with some school glue on the painted popsicle stick shape. The green triangle will go on the back of the popsicle stick shape, while all the other pieces go on the front.
- Then add other embellishments they see fit to complete the look.
- Once done, set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
