We had so much fun making these little Winter Gnomes, that we thought we'd share the craft with you. Maybe you can take it and use your imagination and make whatever gnome your heart desires.
There are many holidays throughout the year to make a gnome for Valentine's Day, St.Patrick's Day, July 4th, Halloween, and Thanksgiving.
Paint your pint jar with white paint, preferably for glass, then sprinkle white glitter all over the jar. Make sure you let it sit and dry before moving on to the next step. I also suggest you seal it because the glitter comes off rather easily and who likes glitter everywhere? Not me!
Cut your fabric into a triangle shape, and make sure the bottom is curved, it will go on the jar lid easier. Then hot glue the rick rack onto the bottom of the fabric.
Hot glue the fabric to the lid and overlap the fabric.
Glue the fabric up the middle to make the hat.
Cut the arm pieces out of the fabric and the mittens out of felt. Then glue the mittens to the back side of the arm fabric.
Cut a piece of rick rack out for the trim and hot glue them.
Glue the arms to the sides of the jar.
Cut a piece of faux fur and glue it to the jar. Make sure it's under the lip of the jar because you will have to screw the top on.
Cut out a heart shape for the feet and glue it to the bottom of the jar.
Pull back the fur to make a little area to glue the wood nose on.
Glue the nose.
Use the powder to make the nose rosey on one side.
Use the white paint or maker to make three dots on the side of the rosey nose.
Fold over the hat and glue the snowflake onto the top of the hat.
Glue the snowball onto the felt hand.
Turn the lights on and stick them in the jar. Close the lid on the gnome.
VOILA! You've created a Winter Gnome. How fun is that?
Watch him glow in the night. Cute little gnome.
You will find us making the craft here on our Youtube Channel at around 16:00 minutes. We had a lot of laughs with Rhonda making the gnome, she's a good sport. Her poor fingers. 🤣
Or you can take a look at the tutorial I made, whichever you choose I hope you enjoy the effort.

I don't know about you, but I get excited about fall decorating. T he change of colors is always so pretty and fall just feels like such a cozy season. One of my other favorite things about fall is all of the wonderful scents. Ahhh, the crisp fall air! There’s something so magical about it, and it’s the perfect time of year to enjoy all of the delicious aromas that come with the season. The rich spices like ground cinnamon and cloves bring a warmth to the air that can’t be denied. Whether you’re cozying up to a fire, baking a delicious treat, or just taking in the sights and smells of the season, the crisp fall air, the rich spices, fresh apples, ground cinnamon, and cloves are all sure to bring a smile to your face. What's not to l ove?! DIY simmer pots are a great way to make your home smell amazing with no added chemicals or artificial fragrances. The scent of apple pie will fill your home in no time! It only takes a few minutes and it really does make th...
***UPDATED 1/27/24*** I stumbled upon this Birthday Cake Box for the needy on Pinterest and thought what a fabulous idea. It’s super quick & easy to make and donate to the food pantry/people in need. The Dollar Tree and Walmart have the cake mixes and frosting for just over $1 and lots of paper products and inexpensive party supplies. For just under $10 you can make them for your local shelter or food pantry. Kids get a kick out of helping and it also makes a great service project for scout groups and church ministry groups. Here's what you need to make a Birthday Cake Box: 9x13 Disposable aluminum foil pan with a lid, it's helpful to have the lid for packaging and delivering purposes. 1 box of cake mix, any flavor you like 1 can of lemon-lime soda (in case the recipient doesn’t have eggs or oil) Birthday candles You can add birthday napkins, candles, a banner, etc. Did you know that you can make a delicious cake out of nothing but a box of ...
***UPDATED 7/8/23*** Nature's Nectar Pure Coconut Water from ALDI didn't suit our fancy. We all agreed there's way to much sodium taste in the coconut water and as you get older, as we three are, we have to watch our sodium intake. As we taste-tested the water, the decision was it wasn't good to just drink but we did, however, agree that it might make a great addition to making smoothies. How about making this delicious smoothie: Ingredients Coconut water, regular or flavored 2 bananas 2 mangos 1 cup strawberries (fresh or frozen) 1/2 cup Greek yogurt 2 tablespoons honey Directions Fill ice trays with the coconut water and freeze until solid. Place the fruit, honey, and 12 to 14 coconut water-flavored ice cubes into a blender and blend until smooth. Serve immediately. Recipe courtesy Bobby Flay Here's the nutritional ...
SO cute! Hope Rhonda's fingers have healed.
