Christmas Gnome Stocking Ornament Craft Idea For Kids

Gnomes are so adorable and popular right now, and what could be more perfect for the Christmas season than making a stocking ornament out of one?

This project is perfect for kids of all ages and can be customized to fit any style or color scheme. Let’s get started!

Craft Supplies:

First things first, grab the free “Christmas stocking” file {listed above in the supply list} and print it out on your choice of colored cardstock paper.
Now trim out the stocking piece from the printable and discard the excess paper.
Next up – grab your white cardstock paper and pencil.
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 stocking gnome.
Finally – cut out a small oval nose shape from the brown cardstock paper and a large triangle hat from the scrapbook paper.
You now have all your pieces and it’s time to start assembling! Grab your choice of adhesive and all your paper cutouts.
Start off by gluing the two handprint cutouts {his beard} on top of the Christmas stocking, right on the opening.
Follow that up gluing on his hat and the nose to the center, to tie it all together.
To make it into an ornament, hole punch a hole in the top of his hat and add some string through it.
To finish off your Paper Christmas Gnome Keepsake, add some embellishments ALL over the stocking piece.
Then display your handprint stocking gnome piece proudly on the tree, for ALL to see!!
