Directions:
* First things first – grab three popsicle sticks {three per turkey gnome} as well as the glue.
* Glue the three painted sticks together to look like a triangle shape.
* Set aside the triangle piece to let it dry completely.
* Repeat for each Thanksgiving inspired gnome you want to make today.
* While that is drying, grab all your paper sheets and scissors.
* Go ahead and color in the turkey feather printable with your crayons.
* Trim out the design afterwards.
* Next up – the remaining paper pieces. Cut a triangular shape, from the scrapbook 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 white beard, a black pilgrim hat, orange nose, red waddle and anything else you can think of!
* To finish off the Popsicle Stick Turkey Gnome – go ahead and glue all your paper pieces in place, with some school glue on the popsicle stick shape. The larger triangle and feather piece will go on the back of the popsicle stick shape, while all the other pieces go on the front.
* Then add other embellishments they see fit to complete the look.
* Once done, set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
