Easiest Gnome for Fall or Christmas | How to Make a Gnome
In today's video, I will be trying my hand at a Fall Gnome. I have seen these all over the place and thought they were so stinkin' cute I wanted one! Most of the items I used were from my local dollar tree but I will give you some other options if you don't have a dollar tree nearby or you don't want to go out.
I hope you like this video and find some inspiration to go and do something fun in your home too!
I used an acrylic tan color to paint the ping pong ball but you can use whatever color you want your gnome's nose to be.
I used a bag of dried beans as my base but you can use other things as the base. I have seen people do this using a plastic bag with sand and a bag of small rocks.
I simply slipped the sock over the bag of beans. I then used my finger to create a small indention at the top.
I applied a good amount of hot glue to the center hole I had created in Step 2.
I inserted the end of the mop head into the hot glue. I held it for a moment to make sure the head would stay in place.
I used an old shirt I had and cut out the gnomes hat. I then hot glued the hat together.
You can hot glue the hat to the gnome but I wanted to be able to change the hat out. So, I just placed the hat down on the gnomes head.
I glued a black pom-pom to the end of the gnomes hat.
He is just so stinking cute!
