Materials Needed For Your DIY Gnome
It’s time to gather the materials needed to create your magical gnomes. Here’s what you need to get started.
– Pipe cleaner: Any color you like; we recommend using pink and red.
– Glittery paper: Grab a piece of red and pink glitter paper.
– Scissors: Kid-friendly scissors for cutting.
– Pen: You’ll need a pen or pencil to trace your hand.
– Glue stick: A simple glue stick will work great for gluing together this craft.
– White cardstock: You’ll use cardstock as the gnome’s body.
Tip: Feel free to alter this craft as needed depending on the age of your kiddos. If they’re younger, you may want to pre-cut the paper for them. However, the goal is always to let them do as much as the craft they can themselves.
As the parent, caregiver, or teacher, feel free to make your own DIY gnome with the child.

Make Your Own Gnome
Now that you have all the materials ready, here’s how to make the perfect Valentine’ gnomes.
Step 1. First, trace your hand on the cardstock paper to make the body of the Valentine handprint gnome. Once you’ve traced your handprint, carefully cut it out.
Step 2. Grab a piece of glittery pink paper and cut a rounded cone (like the one pictured) to make his hat.
Step 3. Cut a small circle from the glittery red paper.
Step 4. Once you have every part of the handprint gnome, assemble it using a glue stick—the red circle at the center of the handprint.
Above it, attach the pink hat.
Step 5. Lastly, attach the pipe cleaners to the corner of the hat.
Let your creativity work, and add other designs you may like to your gnome handprint.
