SUPER Easy Brown Lunch Bag Gnome Craft For Kids

Not only is today’s Paper Bag Gnome craft idea super simple, adorable and fun for all ages to recreate – but it’s also really inexpensive when it comes to the supplies. We are talking simple materials that are easy to find and rather friendly on the wallet too. All you need is brown lunch sacks, paint crayons and cardstock to make it happen!

Overall, my favorite element is that you change the colors of your lunch bag gnome to make him perfect for Christmas, Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day etc!

So what are you waiting for? Let’s grab our craft supplies and get straight to work on making our own one-of-a-kind gnomes from paper lunch sacks! You can find everything you need to know, in the full step-by-step tutorial below and then have you yourself a crafty day making gnome puppets to play with afterwards!

Happy crafting my dear friends! Please don’t forget to share pictures of your child’s finished gnome puppet made from a paper bag 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

Gnome Puppet Craft Supplies:

* Brown Paper Bag – one per gnome craft
* Paint Crayon {any color you want for his beard}
* Scrapbook Paper {any color you want for his hat}
* Solid Cardstock Paper {any color you want for his nose}
* Kid Friendly Craft Scissors
* School Glue or Glue Stick

Directions:

* First things first – lay the paper bag on a flat surface, with the bottom flap facing you. You also want the opening of the paper bag to be facing downward. Just envision that the smaller rectangle area is the face and the larger portion is his beard.
* Now grab your choice of color in paint crayon and paint ONLY the bottom portion of the bag {not that smaller flap!}
* Once done, set aside to let it dry completely.
* Now grab your scissors and two pieces of paper.
* Cut out a large, triangle hat from your scrapbook print and a small oval for the nose, from the solid cardstock paper.
* Now we are ready to finish up the gnome craft. Grab your painted paper bag, all your paper cutouts, the glue and the scissors, once again.
* Go ahead and start off by gluing the triangle hat to the flap of the paper bag.
* Follow that up with the nose in the center of the craft.
* To finish it off, cut the loose portion of the paper bag into thin strips to create the “gnome beard.” Just make sure you don’t go up too high on the paper bag!
* And that’s it on this Paper Bag Gnome craft! Go ahead and add any other embellishments before you display him proudly for all to see!
* BTW – you can stick your hand inside the decorated brown paper bag {with the paper strips hanging over your arm and your hand in the bottom of the bag portion} to make it into a puppet!
