Handprint Gnome Scarecrow Keepsake Craft For Kids

Today’s adorable scarecrow gnome paper keepsake craft tutorial is inspired by my love of all things fall and gnome related.

Due to continued demand, I’ve taken the basic framework of our past handprint gnome keepsakes but this time I added a paper scarecrow hat and some fabric stitching to bring him to life! And as always – it’s super easy for any skill level to recreate and have on the wall as instant fall decor today!

So on that note, please be inspired by my latest gnome paper craft tutorial. You can find the full tutorial and scarecrow hat link below, to get you started super fast this afternoon.

Happy crafting my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your handprint gnome scarecrow creations with us! You can ALWAYS tag us on Facebook or Instagram for easy sharing! I can’t wait to see what you make with your young crafter today! #gluedtomycrafts
