Directions on How To Make a Gnome

Step 1

Lay out your fabric and roll your cone into the fabric.

Then, cut it. Give yourself a little extra. We can always trim off the excess.

Step 2

Glue the fabric onto the cone with hot glue and cut off any excess. You want to be neat about cutting it off and if your fabric is thin enough, you can fold over the edge.

Step 3

Glue to pom pom to the top of the gnome.

Step 4

Glue to bottom edge of the fabric under the cone. You want to give it a clean look.

Step 5

For the hair, you can use fuzzy trim, combed out yarn, or doll hair. You want to glue that around the base.

Step 6

Glue the wood bead on as a nose.

Now you have a cute gnome! It’s that easy!
