hey there, Kaye! here's a cute DIY on how to make gnomes out of pine cones: https://www.itsalwaysautumn.com/diy-pinecone-gnomes.html

Take your pinecone and paint the top part white. The bottom of the pine cone becomes the face, so you need to leave that part natural. The white is to represent the beard.

Make the beanie using red felt, but you could also use a printed Christmas sock to form it. Secure the felt beanie or the Christmas sock with craft glue and allow to dry.

Add the gnomes nose to the top of the beard. You can use wood beads or a pom-pom.

In the search box on Hometalk's homepage, enter the key words gnomes and pinecones to find all the proects that have been posted by members about that particular topic! Fun!

I think someone did this as a Project. Look it up at top of Homepage in Projects.
