directions
assembling the leprechaun gnome craft
step 1
If you are adding the rainbow accent, it’s best to do it before you assemble your gnome. If you are not adding the rainbow accent, then skip to Step 2. First, glue the strips in rainbow order diagonally on the left or right top corner. The strips will hang over the edge. Then, flip the paper over and cut off the excess.
step 2
Cut out the oval shape for the gnome body and the boots. Glue the boots to the bottom of the page or to the back of the oval body.
step 3
Cut out the orange beard and attach to the oval body with the top of the beard close to the top of the oval.
step 4
Cut out the hat. Attach the hat near the top of the beard.
step 5
Cut out the oval for the nose. Next, attach the nose where the hat and the beard meet.
step 6
Cut out the black rectangle and the shamrock. Then attach the black rectangle to the hat and attach the shamrock on the side of black rectangle.
