What is it with gnomes lately? I feel like I see them everywhere. They are definitely trending right now and I love it. I think they are SUPER cute. They were everywhere for Christmas. I never thought of Valentine’s Day as a gnome holiday, but when I saw some inspiration on Pinterest of these cute gnomes, I couldn’t pass them up!

I pulled out my silhouette and made this easy Valentine’s Day gnome craft! Once you have the template, all you need is some glue, paper, and scissors. You can download the printable template from my shop OR you can cut out the gnome pieces freehand. Here’s how you can create the cutest Valentine’s Day gnome you’ve ever seen with your kids this holiday.

DIY Valentine’s Day Gnome Craft Instructions

If you printed the template, cut out all the pieces and use them as a guide to cut out the pieces from the colored paper of your choosing.

Then, glue all the pieces together to create your Valentine’s gnome. The little circles are the hands and nose. Then you have a heart on his tummy and a hat. Now you have a cute little Valentine-themed gnome!

Valentine’s Day Gnome Sayings

For a little extra pizzazz, you could write something on your gnome and give it to someone. Here are some examples:

  • “You feel like gnome” (home)
  • “From our gnome to yours”
  • “There’s gnome-body like you”
  • “I love you gnome matter what”
  • “You gnome me so well!”
