Gnome Leaf Craft Idea For Kids

Sometimes craft time calls for a less-mess approach so we gave today’s tutorial the SIMPLEST run down for Glued To My Crafts ever!

Our leaf gnome craft idea not only has THREE steps total from start to finish but it also only requires TWO basic materials to bring it to life. Paper and a large decorative plastic leaf. That’s it! The other items are scissors and a stapler. Very basic stuff that you probably already have on hand, right now!

We’re putting some fun into your fall budget and maybe jam-packed day. No need to stress, just keep scrolling for the full how-to! Then snap a few pictures afterwards to share with us and we just might feature you on our Facebook page! Can’t wait to see those pictures and hear from you!

Happy crafting and making adorable big nosed leaf gnomes, my friends! Please don’t forget to share pictures of your child’s finished gnome made from a leaf on our Facebook page or tag us on Instagram to admire. I can’t wait to see how their new gnome FRIEND turns out! #gluedtomycrafts

Craft Supplies:

  • Large, Decorative Plastic Leaves – one per craft
  • Light Brown Cardstock Paper
  • Fall Themed Scrapbook Paper
  • Scissors
  • Hand-Held Office Stapler

Directions:

  • First grab your two sheets of paper and scissors.
  • Out of the kraft tone cardstock, cut out a large oval shape for the gnome’s nose.
  • Out of the scrapbook paper, cut out a large triangle hat.
  • Finally – layer and staple on the hat and nose piece to the leaf shape. That’s it!
  • Add any other embellishments you see fit {maybe some stickers to the hat} and display your new leaf and paper gnome piece proudly for all to see!

Customize It:

  • You could hot glue your finished piece to a jumbo popsicle stick {similar to our leaf hedgehog craft from last year} and use it for puppet play!
  • Maybe even turn it into a kind gesture for someone else like our leaf fox card tutorial!
  • Finally – you can also hot glue your finished piece to a basic triangle wood shape like our popsicle stick gnome tutorial.
  • Think ahead to Christmas with our Handprint Christmas Tree Gnome post!
