Make these DIY Christmas gnomes using simple supplies from the craft store!
These are perfect for decorating a mantel or table for the holidays.
This is a great project for both kids and adults.
Youll be doing some cutting (using templates), painting, and attaching things using adhesive.
I acknowledge that things have gotten a little out of hand here with thehomemade gnomes.
Ive loved making them for every holiday!
Just like myfelt ball garlands.
So far Ive madefall gnomes,Thanksgiving gnomes,Valentines Day gnomes,St.
Patricks Day gnomes and done somegnome ornamentstoo.
The thing is, theyre just so dang easy to make!
If youre in need of some quickChristmas decorations, these guys can be made in a jiffy.
They look great on a Christmas mantel and kids love them.
They might even give them names!
This is Larry and his brother Darryl (what show is that from, minus a Darryl?).
Theyre made using paper mache cones, flannel fabric, faux fur, and a few other basics.
Once you get the idea, youll want to make them for every holiday.
And then youll have the same problem as me.
A straight up gnome addiction!
But how can it be wrong when it feels so right?
you’ve got the option to make a Larry or Darryl in six simple steps!
Youre going to make the template, then set aside and paint the cone.
Youll cut out the hat fabric.
Then youll attach the fabric, then the beard, and then the nose.
To be honest, they are a little bit cheaper and more readily available.
I like that the paper mache can stack.
Make as many gnome as you like!
Pick fun fabrics, and even add fun embellishments if you like.
Heres how mine turned out.
Display these bad boys anywhere you like.
I love my gnomies!
