How To Make A Popsicle Stick Snowman Craft For Kids:
STEP 1: To make a Christmas gnome face, take a beige construction paper and cut a small rectangle or oval shape, depending on what you want.
STEP 2: Now take a blue construction paper and cut a small triangle or any shape to make a gnome’s hat. Make sure the hat should be big enough to cover the gnome’s head.
STEP 3: Now it’s time to glue the gnome’s hat to the face. Glue the bottom of the hat at the top of the head, make sure to overlap a bit to give it a realistic bundled effect.
STEP 4: Let your gnome see this beautiful and amazing world. Take two googly eyes, glue them just below the hat, and distance them wide enough to give your cute Christmas gnome a cartoonish look.
STEP 5: To make your gnome more fun and jolly, add a red little nose. Take a red button and glue it just below the eyes, in the middle. This will give your Christmas gnome a personality and add a bright pop of color.
STEP 6: To give your Christmas gnomes a rosy cheek, take a peach crayon or sketch pen and make two small circles on both sides of the nose. This makes your Christmas gnome craft look more friendly and welcoming.
STEP 7: Now it’s time to add to give your gnome a fluffy beard. Take a white yarn and cut multiple strands of around 4-5 inches long. Start gluing them at the bottom of the face (just below the nose). Glue them next to each other to give a full fluffy beard look.
STEP 8: If you want a clean and organized look, you can trim the beard a bit with the help of a scissor. But keeping them a bit uneven gives your Scandinavian gnome craft a bit rustic and realistic look.
STEP 9: At the end, take a look to make sure everything is glued securely. If you feel any changes are required, go ahead and fix it like fluffing the beard repositioning the gnome’s hat, or adjusting the width of the eyes and nose.
And here you have your easy Construction Paper Christmas Gnome craft.
Use it as a Christmas display or as a Christmas tree ornament, the choice is yours.
This gnome craft idea is simple and easy to make for kids of all ages.
Tips For Cute Popsicle Stick Snowman Craft:
Tip 1: To give your gnome’s beard more uniqueness, try using different types of yarn like thick, thin, and textured yarns too. This will give your winter gnomes more character and a wild beard look.
Tip 2: Add a more decorative touch to your Christmas gnome’s hat using glitter glue or glitter powder, sequins or silver felt paper stars. Glue them at the brim of the hat to give it a unique and personalized touch.
Tip 3: To give your gnome a more realistic and wild look, don’t be afraid to cut them in uneven sizes. In this way, you can give your gnome’s beard more thicker, fuller, and fluffier beard.
Tip 4: You can play with gnome hats by making them in different shapes, sizes, and colors. At the tip of the hat, make a twist or a curve or you can also glue a pom-pom. Using a white marker, you can also add some patterns to add some details to the hat.
Tip 5: Adding accessories to the gnome’s hat is also a great approach to make him look more detailed and cuter. You can add a small button or a scarf made from felt paper, construction paper, or fabric.
Tip 6: Use a cotton swab when you are adding a blush to the gnome’s cheek, this gives him a more soft and rosy look. For a more realistic touch, you can use blush or soft pastel colors.
Tip 7: You can make the Christmas gnome’s nose using different materials like pom-poms, small beads, clay, or even a ball of red yarn. And if you don’t have any of these simply draw a nose with red sketch pens or crayons.
Tip 8: Don’t hold yourself back from experimenting with a beard, as you know beard gives your winter gnomes more character and a rustic look. You can add multiple layers of yarn, to give your cute Christmas gnomes fluffier and thick beard. This makes him look cozy and wintery.
Tip 9: If you are planning to use it as a Christmas or winter decoration, gluing a small magnet at the back of the gnome will turn it into a fridge magnet enhancing your Christmas kitchen decor. You can also use it as a Christmas tree ornament by gluing a ribbon at the back of the hat.
Tip 10: You can make a whole Christmas gnome family. By using different colors of construction paper, different-sized yarns, and uniquely shaped hats.
