- The fun starts here! First things first – grab three popsicle sticks {three per bee gnome} as well as your painting supplies.
- Squirt your 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 spring inspired gnome you want to make today.
- While that is drying, grab all your paper sheets and scissors.
- Cut a triangular shape, from the 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 white beard, a triangle hat, antennas, oval shaped nose and of course, two handprint wings.
- To finish off y our Yellow Bumble Bee Gnome – go ahead and glue all your paper pieces in place, with some school glue on the painted popsicle stick shape. The large triangle will go on the back of the popsicle stick shape along with the wings, 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!
