For a video tutorial on how to make the gnome, please watch the YouTube video below.
Step 1: Print
Start by printing the free gnome template. See link below.
Step 2: Color
Next, color the parts of the gnome. We used crayons.
Step 3: Cut
Then, cut out all the pieces. You’ll have a shamrock (for the beard), a hat, and an oval nose.
Step 4: Glue
Glue your St. Patrick’s Day gnome together. First, turn the shamrock upside down—it will become the beard. Next, glue the hat on top of the shamrock. Then, glue the oval nose in place.
That’s it! You now have a festive St. Patrick’s Day gnome.
