Craft Supplies:

  • GNOME OF THE BRAVE PRINTABLE – on our landing page
  • Red or Blue Cardstock Paper
  • White Cardstock Paper
  • Tan Cardstock Paper
  • Patriotic Scrapbook Paper
  • Pencil or Pen
  • Craft Scissors
  • Adhesive
  • Embellishments

Directions:

  • First things first, if you haven’t already, grab our free “gnome matter what” file and print it out on a single sheet of white cardstock paper. One print will allow you to do this craft THREE times.
  • Go ahead and trim out ONE of the rectangle boxes from the print.
  • Set that aside.
  • Next up – trace your child’s hand {and hand!} one time on another piece of white cardstock paper.
  • When done tracing, trim out the design. This will be the beard for your patriotic gnome.
  • Set it aside.
  • Now grab your patterned scrapbook paper.
  • Cut out a large triangle hat for your gnome.
  • Finally – cut out a small oval nose shape from the kraft colored cardstock.
  • Now you are ready to assemble it all together.
  • Start off my gluing down the white handprint cutout onto the COLORED cardstock paper {this one should have been left out from any cutting.} You want the fingertips facing downward on the paper.
  • Follow up that step by gluing down {securing} the hat on the palm of the handprint cutout.
  • Then glue down the oval nose to complete the look of a gnome.
  • To finish off your Paper Patriotic Gnome Keepsake, add the rectangle cutout with the “land of the free and GNOME of the brave” saying, right underneath the beard design.
  • Then add any other embellishments you see fit, to give it that patriotic spin! I add stars on my paper but you can add ANYTHING you like!
  • Then display your 4th of July handprint paper piece proudly for ALL to see!!
  • Don’t forget to snap a few pictures of your finished handprint patriotic gnome on your phone and tag us on your social media sites! #gluedtomycrafts

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
