Directions:
- First things first – grab your three JUMBO popsicle sticks and school glue.
- Go ahead and glue the three sticks together to look like a basic triangle shape.
- Set aside the triangle piece to let it dry completely.
- If desired, when it’s secure enough, go ahead and paint the triangle piece with craft paint.
- Now grab all your pieces of paper {most importantly – the printable} and the scissors.
- Trim out one of the hat designs from the printable.
- Next cut out a large 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 pieces of cardstock paper, you want to cut out a handprint white beard, as well as a small oval shaped nose.
- To finish off the Popsicle Stick Cowboy – go ahead and glue all your paper pieces in place, with some school glue on the popsicle stick shape. The larger triangle piece will go on the back of the popsicle stick shape, while all the other pieces go on the front.
- If desired, add other embellishments you see fit to complete the look.
- Once done, set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
