Handprint Gnome Wizard

Today’s Gnome Wizard craft tutorial is something I thought of with the Harry Potter fans in mind {I hope you like it and see the vision like I do!}

I’ve taken the basic framework of our past handprint gnome keepsakes but this time I added the wizard hat element to bring it to life! And as always – it’s super easy for any skill level to recreate with basic craft supplies!

So please be inspired by my latest gnome craft tutorial. I’ve even included a free wizard hat printable to get you started even fast today {which you will find below!}

Witches and wizards in training! This handprint wizard gnome craft idea is perfect for your own little ones!

Craft Supplies:

Directions:

  • First things first, grab the free “wizard hat” file {listed above in the supply list} and print it out on your choice of colored cardstock paper.
  • If desired, you can color in the wizard hat but since I printed mine on colored paper, I could skip that step.
  • Anyways – trim out the hat piece and discard excess paper.
  • Now grab your white cardstock paper and trace both of your child’s hands {one at a time, in separate locations} on the paper.
  • When done tracing, trim them both out. This will be the beard for your wizard.
  • Finally – cut out a small oval nose shape from the kraft colored cardstock paper.
  • Now it’s time to start assembling! Grab your choice of adhesive and all the paper cutouts.
  • To finish off your Paper Wizard Keepsake, start off by gluing the two handprint cutouts {his beard} to under the wizard hat. Follow that up gluing on his button nose.
  • Finally – add some gold star stickers all over the wizard hat piece to really tie the theme together.
  • Now you can stop here or add any other embellishments you see fit, to give it your own personal spin!
  • Then display your handprint wizard gnome paper piece proudly for ALL to see!!
  • Don’t forget to snap a few pictures of your finished handprint gnome wizard on your phone and tag us on your various social media sites! #gluedtomycrafts
