How to Make a Valentine’s Day Gnome
Step 1.
Start by tracing a triangle onto the cardboard for the gnome’s hat. Make it as big or small as you’d like. I wanted mine large to hang on my door.
Step 2.
Use your box cutter (or another cutting tool) to cut out the cardboard hat.
Step 3.
Step 4.
Step 5.
Hot glue the welcome sign to the front of the gnome hat. This gives it a nice greeting for guests and also adds some extra dimension.
Step 6.
Begin gluing the assorted hearts under the bottom of the gnome burlap hat. It is helpful to start with the larger hearts first to give it a little bit of weight.
The larger red and white paper doilies are perfect to use as the base. Continue gluing the hearts in all shapes and sizes until the gnome beard is nice and full. You want to create a “reverse triangle” look to it so it represents a beard.
Step 7.
Paint the large wood bead for the gnome’s nose. I went with a light beige color that blended well with the burlap. Let it dry then hot glue it to the gnome just under the hat.
I think it looks cute just peeking out from under the hat.
Add a couple of sparkly hearts to the corner of the hat and your little Valentine’s Day gnome is all ready to greet friends and family!
Definitely keep this idea on your list for a fun Valentine’s Day craft!
lastly…
Hang the sweet gnome on your front door, or inside and wait until you see how people smile when they see this little guy!
