Create your own autumn gnome with popsicle stick triangles, paint, fall scrapbook paper and real or fake leaves. Cut, glue and paint your own DIY craft!
Looking for a fun and creative craft project to do with the kids? Then why not build a popsicle stick gnome with a leafy beard!
This gnome made from popsicle sticks may look like he’s fit for a fairy-tale, but we created him right at home!
With some wood sticks, cardstock paper and decorative leaves from the craft store, you can create this charming little fellow in no time!
We love that there are endless possibilities with creating something so sweet and simple out of basic materials – it’s perfect for crafting on a lazy afternoon this fall season. So gather your supplies and let’s get started on our own cute gnome!
Craft Supplies:
- Jumbo Wood Sticks – 3 per craft
- School Glue
- Paint Crayons
- Scissors
- Fall Scrapbook Paper
- Brown Cardstock Paper
- Large Leaves {real or fake!}
Directions:
- The fun starts here! Grab three popsicle sticks {three per autumn gnome} as well as the school glue.
- Glue the three sticks together to look like a triangle.
- Set aside the triangle piece to let it dry completely.
- While that is drying, grab all your paper sheets and scissors.
- Cut a triangular shape, from the patterned scrapbook paper paper, that will be placed within the popsicle stick design and be the hat for the gnome.
- Out of the brown cardstock paper, you want to cut out a small oval nose.
- Now grab your triangle shape, as well as the paint crayons.
- Use a paint crayon to “paint” one side of the shape.
- Next glue the triangle shape cutout to the back of the painted triangle shape.
- Follow that up by gluing on one {or two} large leaves to the back as well.
- To finish off the Popsicle Stick Fall Inspired Gnome – add the oval nose shape, as well as any other embellishments you see fit!
- Once done, set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
