Post Title Goes HERE...

In my previous post, aka, The Grinch and the Santa Hat Mystery, I was hoping someone would guess correctly.  Did you come close?  Now, I must reveal my project of the tree topper that isn't. I bought the Santa Hat, took it home, and the next day I began by unpacking my white wig [I've used it for Halloween often]. Stuffing the wig up the opening of the Santa Hat, partially, I created a Santa beard! It was simple. Then, from one of my craft boxes I pulled out a large wooden ball. I was gonna paint it flesh colored but then realized the wood itself was flesh toned. So, I did nothing to it except for taking a thin piece of wooden dowel and pushed it into the ball, creating a prop for the nose piece....with the nose/dowel through the wig's mesh netting, it came to life...voilá, a piece that is ever so popular these days!  The project took less than 15 minutes to make, no gluing, no painting, nothing but a couple of insertions....

It now sits on the very edge of the fireplace mantle with it's frosty white beard hanging over ...A GNOME

PS...I think with the Walmart's Top Hat tree topper [seen here], the same thing could be done! Use a white wig for a snowy beard, find a plastic carrot craft pick [or even a medium sized, crooked twig and paint it orange or better yet, a gnome nose-another wooden ball]...same concept, only this time a snowman gnome!!  Hmmmm, I DO have a 2nd white wig in storage?!!  Yessiree.  I just may do that.
