Halloween Gnome Made From Craft Sticks
Let’s get BOO-GIE with something new and fresh? Shall we?!
Today on Glued To My Crafts, I’m welcoming the first day of October with open arms, with our latest and greatest gnome kid craft tutorial! It’s going to SHAKE up what you typically think of “Halloween” crafts this time of year.
I’ve taken our basic triangle gnome shaped design {that if you are a long time reader of ours, you have seen before} and made it #cutenotscary for the upcoming spooky holiday! My favorite part is probably the fact that with all the colors that associated with this time of year and Halloween {rich colors of orange, purple, black, green and browns} you can customize your garden gnome however YOU want it to look like!
Ready to tackle this DIY this spook-tacular season?! No need to be creeped out! Just keep on scrolling to see our frightfully good Popsicle Stick Halloween Gnome kid craft idea come to life within minutes!
Happy crafting my friends!! Don’t forget to share pictures of your Halloween inspired gnomes made from wood craft sticks with us on our Facebook page! I seriously can’t wait to see how you give them your own creative “web of fun” spin! #gluedtomycrafts

Craft Supplies:
* Jumbo Wood Sticks {three per Halloween gnome craft}
* School Glue
* Craft Paint {any color you like!}
* Small Paper Plate
* Foam Paint Brush
* Kid Friendly Paper Craft Scissors
* Halloween Patterned Scrapbook Paper
* Cardstock Paper {for the hat}
* Glitter Cardstock Paper {for the nose}
optional materials – Halloween stickers, glitter glue, gold rhinestones etc.
Directions:
* The fun starts here! First things first – set the mood for spooky fun by clearing off your craft table and laying out all your supplies in front of you.
* Grab three popsicle sticks {three per ghoulish gnome} as well as the craft paint supplies.
* Squirt your choice of color 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 Halloween inspired gnome you want to make today.
* While that is drying, grab all your paper sheets and scissors.
* Cut a triangular shape, from the 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 beard, a triangle hat, glitter nose and anything else you can think of!
* To finish off the Popsicle Stick Halloween Inspired Gnome – go ahead and glue all your paper pieces in place, with some school glue on the painted popsicle stick shape. The larger triangle will go on the back of the popsicle stick shape, while all the other pieces go on the front.
* Turn up the “spooky factor” by add other embellishments {like fun pumpkin or spider stickers} you 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
