...and, I DID make a snowman gnome! With my added postscript in the previous post, I did get a snowman top hat tree topper at Walmart and quickly added another to the upcoming holiday decor in Hootin' Anni's abode. I did the same steps in creating the cute little booger as I did with the Santa gnome: White wig, partially stuffed into the hat's opening, a wooden ball nose and there you have it...
...at this particular Walmart [we have 6 Super Centers within a 20-25 mile radius], they didn't have the Santa hats, but they DID have an entirely different one - a red, green and white striped elf hat. These stores may just have a whole slew of different hats to make even a whole gnome village. You definitely don't have to be a crafting genius to make these popular folks!!! Easy peasey. [I also thought that you don't need wigs as I used! Hobby Lobby and Michaels have squares of faux fur. That could be used as a beard too!]
It's adorable. I can't decide which one I like better. They're both really cute. Clever and easy idea
ReplyDeleteDefinitely easy!
Deletehe is really cute, I would choose the santa if I had to. after I read your post yesterday I saw Ann said the gnomes are everywhere. I had not seen them, of if I did, did not NOTICE. I went to Lowes yesterday and wander through Christmas land and found a whole shelf of Christmas Gnomes in the garden shop, they were much like what you made.
ReplyDeleteMe too. Of course, I have been known to be quite biased when it comes to Santa. Yep, they are all around us, those mischievous sprites!!
DeleteHe's a cutie, for sure. You may not have to be as talented as you are to make these, but thinking them up is definitely your forte! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you D J. Yet, I have been known to get myself into some messes that end up being filed in the trash bucket
DeleteHe's adorable - for a gnome! What a wonderful pair you now sport! Great job!
ReplyDeleteOnce again, thanks Ms. G
DeleteHello, very cute. I love the top hat. Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteI liked the top hat better than the elf's.
DeleteI have zero energy to do anything. I'm happy to enjoy your work!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy you find joy coming here for a visit.
DeleteI am loving the hats! I'll be watching for the village! :~)
ReplyDeleteHa. No village here. But one can dream.
DeleteYou are a Creating Blizzard!!!!! -smile-
ReplyDeleteSuch fun, as long as one is crafty. Me? Nope.
Gnome Village coming up!!!!!
🔥💛🔥
Sorry, but you'll have to look forther away from here for a village. I think I'm done now.
DeleteRats! I thought you had bought the elf hat and were going to show us your creation!!
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, the elf hats were snagged in quite a few places to buy...sweater knits.

I bow to your creativity. What is easy for you would never enter my mind. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks Patti
DeleteOh my - he is adorable!
ReplyDeleteA secret...I tried a carrot nose & just all kinds of wrong for a gnome. So, wooden ball it is!
DeleteI like how this one turned out.
ReplyDeletesince I collect snow man and such. I should look into snow gnome.
