I noticed this completed product on Fb weeks in the past, however did not see the blogger who created this undertaking. *If you recognize who first did this lovable craft, please let me know so I will be able to credit score them right here.*
The one “device” you can in reality want is sizzling glue. Even common glue might paintings, however it is going to take longer to finish.
First up, you wish to have a detergent pod container:
The emblem does not topic clearly, it simply must be this form. I used the 42 depend container and it was once best possible.
Subsequent, you can want fluffy material or yarn to make beard on your little gnome.

The sort girl on the material reducing counter shared a nice tip for reducing this fluffy material!
Snip the material on the finish after which tear it at the grain. This removes little tufts of fluff flying in every single place.
You are not looking for a lot of this material — the thickness is dependent upon how lengthy you need the gnome’s beard to be. 🙂
I sizzling glued the material all of the manner across the plastic container:
Now make a decision in your gnome nostril! I had a few choices and can proportion they all so you’ll be able to see how they give the impression of being.
I used a small drill bit to place a hollow into a wooden bead and in addition into the plastic pod container:

Scorching glue or epoxy would additionally paintings if you do not want to clutter with all of that. The screw simply makes it extra protected.
Then, the overall step that completes your lovable vacation gnome…a knit hat or beanie on best! I simply used person who I’ve:
Come ON! Is that no longer the cutest?? The pom on best makes it!

Through the way in which, you do not wish to glue the hat on — it is going to slide proper on and you will want to pull it down a bit so it slouches onto his nostril.
There are such a lot of choices for the nostril! I reduce the back down of a styrofoam ball (to make it flat) after which sizzling glued it on:
And that was once simply as lovable! I imply…you’ll be able to’t pass mistaken:
