This is a St. Patrick’s Day standing gnome tutorial. Super easy to make. The hat is from Dollar Tree, however, if you don’t have access to it, I included a pattern showing how you can make it with Solo cups and cardboard. Pattern link in in the description below. I hope that you enjoy him.

What do you need the weighted beads for?
Patti says
So that he can stand up. He needs the weight to be balanced. Thanks, Patti
Kimberly says
Patti, when do you decide whether to use a foam cone or pool noodle for the bodies of your gnome?
Patti says
If I am making a pointy hat, I usually use the cone. If I am making a rounded cap, I use the pool noodle. I did do an Easter bunny gnome this week that has a different body that will work with either if you get a chance to see it. Thanks, Patti
Melinda M Patek says
The shoes that come up on the link state the measurements are 6.56″ long x 2.95″ wide x 2.95″ high. Is that correct??
Patti says
They are 2.95″ x 1.50″ tall. The 6.56″ is the toy they send with the shoes. These are parrot toys LOL
