Fun project! | TLsBrightSpot

Good morning Friday! We are headed out to pick up our live-cut tree this morning. It’s a tradition – no artificial tree for us. :O) We had card class yesterday – but in lieu of cards or boxes or a paper item, we made mop-head gnomes. – and a reindeer from clothes pins. Both turned out so cute.

Aren’t these fun? And it took about an hour to make the gnome and just a bit to make the reindeer. Great project for something different.

What to purchase to make the gnome:

16 oz dry beans
sock
scarf
mop head
wooden pull for nose
Jingle bells & ribbon

How to make:

Keep beans in bag & insert into one sock.
Coat mop head with glue with glue gun
Roll down excess sock and insert mop head into opening
If so desired unroll some of the mop head ‘strings’ so beard is finer (we did)
Cut scarf in half, cut into v-shape, glue sides, turn inside out and place over mop head
- Add jingle bell to length of ribbon and tie onto pointy end of hat
- Can stuff hat with tissue to make it stand up – I did
Hot glue nose into place pushing it onto the sock ‘bean bag’
Done!
