Paper & Chalk Fall Gnome Craft For Kids To Make

Celebrate autumn’s spectacular show of colors with today’s paper & chalk art fall gnome craft tutorial for kids.

The season’s are changing but that doesn’t mean we need to put the sidewalk chalk away just yet! I’m going to show you how easy it is to bring the commonly outdoor material and put it on paper for a UNIQUE twist! It’s the Glued To My Crafts way!

With a little creativity and maybe a handful of simple to follow steps, you can bring your own paper gnome friend to life {within minutes} and have a piece that is like no other! Just like a real beard {is that weird to say?!} no two pieces that you create today will be alike. I think that’s the best part! Who can make the BEST gnome beard on paper? I challenge you! 🙂

So let’s get to it! May your craft time be GNOME-TASTIC with the help of Glued To My Crafts. You can find ALL the info you need for this paper and sidewalk chalk autumn gnome tutorial below.

RELATED —> Thumbprint Sunflower

Directions:

First things first – grab your black cardstock and the scissors.
Fold the black cardstock paper in half and open it back up.
Use scissors to again to cut straight up the center, to create two equal pieces.
Reserve one black paper piece for today’s craft and save the other for another day.
Now grab your white chalk.
Make several lines, all over the black cardstock, to recreate the gnome’s beard. Add as much or as little as you like.
When done with the chalk, set aside the paper piece and clean your hands off with a few baby wipes.
Now grab your remaining cardstock paper pieces.
Cut out a large triangle hat from the scrapbook paper and a large oval nose from the tan cardstock.
Once you have all your paper pieces cut out, it’s time to assemble your craft! Go ahead and grab the stapler, along with all the paper pieces.
Start off by stapling the hat piece to the top of the black cardstock with the white chalk lines.
Follow that up by adding the nose on top of that.
Add any other embellishments you see fit {like sunflower stickers or maybe even a pumpkin shape.}
Then display your custom one-of-a-kind paper chalk art fall gnome piece proudly for all to see!
Don’t forget to share pictures of your bearded sunflower gnome craft with us on your social media sites! #gluedtomycrafts
