Diy Halloween Gnome

Adulting at the pumpkin patch yesterday.

It was possibly our last rain-less day 

for some time, so it was a great time to get out.

How about a quick diy?

From this below......

To THIS!!!! 

Isn't he cute?!

So what you need is as I show you above;

A pair of socks (you only use one sock)

a wood pumpkin 

(both these items were bought at Dollar Tree)

A round wood bead

White faux fur.

First thing you want to do is remove the little

wood stem at the top of the pumpkin, making sure

you keep the little rafia bow. 

Now take one sock and cut it in half right at the heel.

Taking the top half without the heel, slip it over the wood

pumpkin and tack it down with a little hot glue.

Now glue down your nose (wood bead)

Next step it to cut a triangle about 3 1/2" long from the faux fur

and glue it right up under the nose and the side of the nose.

Add the top part of the sock (the part with the heel)

When you get to the nose add just a little glue to the top 

of the nose and push it down.  Pull the hat down along the 

sides and tack it down with some glue. 

Lastly, untie the rafia bow and retie it around the 

top of the hat and he is complete!

From what I understand some of the Dollar Trees

carry the faux fur, but mine has never have.

I always end up getting mine at Michael's or Joann's

Hope you give this a try!
