Pencil Hat Gnome Craft Idea
Today on Glued To My Crafts, I’m welcoming the back-to-school season with open arms, with our latest and greatest GNOME craft idea! Yes – you read that right! My gnome obsession is crossing into the August months as well!
I’ve taken our basic triangle gnome shaped design {that if you are a long time reader of ours, you have seen before – many times!} and made it absolutely PERFECT for the back to school season!
My favorite part is probably the cardstock YELLOW PENCIL hat that our new friends are wearing but of course, you can customize your gnome however YOU want it to look like on the first day back!
Now friends…. are you ready to tackle this unique craft idea?! Just keep on scrolling to see our awesomely good Popsicle Stick Back To School Gnome kid craft idea come to life within minutes!
Happy crafting my friends!! Don’t forget to share pictures of your back to school 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 spin, as you head back into the classroom! #gluedtomycrafts

Get ready for the new school year with this cute and creative Popsicle Stick Back To School Gnome craft! It’s an easy and fun way to get your little ones excited about the start of school.
Craft Supplies:
- Jumbo Wood Sticks
- School Glue
- Craft Paint
- Small Paper Plate
- Foam Paint Brush
- Craft Scissors
- Scrapbook Paper
- Yellow Cardstock Paper
- Tan Cardstock Paper
- Pink Cardstock Paper
- White Cardstock Paper
- Black Marker
Directions:
- The fun starts here! First things first – grab three popsicle sticks {three per pencil hat school 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 pencil 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 paper, you want to cut out a long beard, a triangle pencil hat, pencil eraser nose and anything else you can think of!
- Use the black Sharpie marker to draw on the “tip” of the pencil on the hat paper piece.
- To finish off the Popsicle Stick Back To School 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.
- Then, if desired, add any other embellishments {like apple themed 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
