Do you ever wake up thinking "you know what we need around here? An Easter bunny gnome"? Hahahha well I did. After the Valentine gnome and St. Patricks' gnome it was obvious there needed to be an Easter gnome...
This came together really quick - it's a cross between the 2 previous ones but this is just an idea, you can make yours out of felt, socks, paper, whatever. I started with a paper cone-shaped party hat; using hot glue I covered most of the cone with lightweight cardstock, then trimmed the bottom so it'd be flat. Fold one edge of a felt square up to form a little cuff and glue in a couple places to keep in place, don't glue the entire edge because you need a space to glue the ears under the flap. Glue the felt around the top of the cone to form the hat. Cut felt pieces to make the ears, I used a larger piece of purple with a smaller piece of white in the center. Add a stuffing beard and a colored pompom for the nose. Tie a length of twine around the tip of the hat. Literally took me no time to make this, and it's pretty darn cute!
supplies:
- paper cone-shaped party hat (I bought a package of them at the dollar store)
- 1 sheet cardstock for the body
- 1 piece of felt for the hat - I didn't measure but mine is probably 8" square (ish - wing this part by wrapping a piece of felt around the cone and figure how much you need)
- 2 colors of felt for the ears
- stuffing for the beard (or fur, feathers, pulled apart cotton balls...)
- pompom nose (or a small wood bead)
- twine to tie the top of the hat
- hot glue and scissors
