How to make a Halloween Gnome - Create Make Decorate with Nikki

I have to tell you that I have a little bit of an obsession with gnomes. They are just so darn cute and easy to make. I was strolling through the aisles the other day at Home Goods and I came across a few really cute ones. They inspired me to make a little Halloween gnome.

So, off to the Dollar Tree I went, searching for whatever I can come up with to create my cute little fella! I came across a cylinder container over in the wrapping paper section and BOOM!!! The lightbulb went off. I searched the store for a few more supplies and he was ready to come to life.

Supplies Needed:

Cardboard cylinder container from The Dollar Tree
Material. (I used some from a pair of witch legs from The Dollar Tree)
Fur
sock
Knob or something round for nose
Glue Gun
Plastic spiders or other embellishments
polyfil fiber

First, I started by taking these witch legs and cutting them in half. This is the material I used to cover the cardboard cylinder. You can find these over at The Dollar Tree.

Next, I grabbed the glue gun and applied the material onto the cylinder.

I like to collect knobs from old furniture or from wherever I find them. They can be repurposed for so many cool things. I grabbed this wooden one from my son’s old dresser and added some gray paint. It was a perfect nose!

For the hat, I went shopping in my husbands sock drawer. He has so many pairs of socks, that I’m sure he won’t miss a pair. I cut it off right above the part where your foot goes. Next, I stuffed the sock with some Polyfil. You can click here for it >>>>https://amzn.to/3ckzFaz. Tie it off with a piece of ribbon and that’s it.

I grabbed the fur piece, cut it in half and glued it on, making sure to place it under the sock. Shape it with a pair of scissors and now you have a beard.

The last step was to glue on the nose. Be creative and have fun decorating the little guy!
