Just in time to make before Valentine’s Day. These are little gnomes with hearts, arrows and wings. Made from one Dollar Tree Valentine’s sock. These are super cute on a mantel, shelf and tier trays. Easy are very easy no sew gnomes. They are weighted so that they set up good, but still plushy enough to look cute.
