Standing Sock Gnome

The tutorials on this page "Should Be" pretty easy to follow. HOWEVER they were put together quickly as I was making the crafts. If your confused about something go to the Sock Gnome or Standing Gnome Page and there will probably be a tutorial similiar and MORE PRECISE. The Sock Gnome Page is also broken down into the various parts of the gnome so if you don't have or don't like a certain element, check there for more ideas.

Dollar Tree Santa Makeover
I removed the pom pom, holly nose and buttons and cut off his beard.
I wrapped blsck felt around the bottom to make pants. Then added chunky white yarn for the trim of his coat to cover where the red body and black felt met. I then added a wooden nose and a fur beard. The hat is red felt. Instructions in the first tutorial on the Sock Gnome Page where you will also find instructions for the boots. The arms kind of looked like flippers so I just made mittens out of black felt and added chunky yarn for trim.

Gnome For The Holidays Sign
The house plaque I found at Dollar Tree and I used the Cricut for the wording. For the gnome I had a small Christmas hat and added a beard, nose and eyes.
I used 2 of the Dollar Tree tabletop trees.
I added DT gnome ribbon, lights, trim, silver accents and a couple of gnomes. Santa hats for both the tree topper and the skirt.
I found these little Gnome Lights at Dollar Tree
Gnomes are made from a pill bottle. (See Gnome Page for instructions) The hat and body I used the fabric from a cheap stocking hat I cut apart.
I love adding signs to my crafts. This was cut on the Cricut and added to a DT plank I painted white.

Santa Busting Through A Book.
This is a different take on the Busted Canvas. I Love a good book where the characters seem to just jump out of the pages.
I started with a Dollar Tree book. For this one the book was red to start with so I just painted over the title
For the busted part, I used a DT stretched canvas and made it pretty much the same as you would a Busted Canvas Project. I'm sure there are other ways to do this that don't waste a whole canvas but it's $1.25 AND it's stretched so it won't curl up while it's drying like just a plain canvas or material would.
I painted the front side the same color as the book.
I decoupaged the back with the image I wanted for the flaps
When it was dry I cut out the canvas then cut out a circle.
Fill the "busted" part with whatever you want. I used a gnome type Santa. This one is made from a pool noodle. See The Gnome Pages for Instructions on how to make a gnome. I then just glued ripped pages from another book ad used the Cricut for the titles.
I cut the circle like a pizza just like you do with the Busted Canvases. BUT DO NOT cut all the through past the edge, You want the circle to hold the flaps together. Glue the edge of the circle to the book and fold back the flaps, I did not center mine because I wanted room at the top for the title.
Plaid Gnomes

Five Minute Gnome
Dollar Tree Slippers can be easily turned into a gnome. Simply roll back the heel and add a nose. Add them to a sign or a wreath or use him as a tree ornament
Dollar Tree Hats
An easy way to make a gnome hat during Christmas is a Dollar Tree Tree Skirt. Open it up and fold one end into a triangle. making sure the bottom (The part with the fur) is big enough to go around your gnome's head. Glue with right sides together and flip inside out. I added a wire and some polyfill inside. Add a pom pom to hide the end that does not make a perfect point. You can get several from one tree skirt.
Dollar Tree often has the Christmas ornament hats, which are really cute but harder to place on a sock gnome with the knot at the top. You can help the hat sit better by notching out the bottom of the hat.
Cut the knot at the top of your sock gnomes head as far down as you can make sure it still stays closed
These ones have burlap at the bottom, run a circle of glue around the area you want to notch out to prevent the burlap from unraveling . Make sure your circle is completely within the styrofoam part of the hat. Use a knife and scissors to notch out a hole within the circle. The hat is filled with the styrofoam that is made of the little balls so yea it's messy. Place the hat on the gnome frequently to see how big the notch needs to be for the hat to sit right
Decorating your gnome doesn't get easier then this... Dollar Tree offers a never ending array of headbands. Simply remove their "parts" and glue them to your gnome.
