To make our Folded Paper Valentine’s Day Gnome Craft you will need our gnome beard template, construction paper in white and other assorted colors, a heart paper punch, scissors, and a glue stick.
Valentine’s Day Gnome Craft Supplies Needed
- Gnome Beard Template
- Construction paper – white, assorted colors
- Heart paper punch
- 1.5” circle paper punch
- Glue stick
- Scissors
Folded Paper Gnome Craft Step by Step Directions
Begin with a full sheet of construction paper, placed vertically. A lightweight cardstock would work fine, as well.
Bring one corner of the paper over, forming a triangle.
Then, fold the point of the triangle down.
Now, use the template to cut a beard out of white paper. Glue in place under the fold.
Next, either use a 1.5″ circle paper punch or the circle in the template form a nose out of your chosen color paper. Glue that in place over the fold. If you were making this into a card, make sure the nose is only glued to the white beard paper.
Finally, punch out a bunch of hearts and glue randomly over the gnome’s folded paper hat.
Super cute, right? A perfect little craft for Valentine’s Day.
