Tips to Make gnome Tree Topper

  • Start by heading to the Dollar Tree. You need a few supplies there. But I know that not all Dollar Trees are created equal, so I have some ideas for the important bits:
    • If you can’t find the fluffy pillow to get the same fur look as mine, you can grab a terrycloth towel or a microfiber cloth, then use watercolors to paint it dark grey.
    • Not every Dollar Tree has the big wood balls, and I get that. So, just look for something round. It doesn’t even have to be perfectly round, but grab some marbles or an ornament!
    • Don’t panic if you can’t find the snowman tree topper for a base! use some poster board to make your own cone, then wrap it in wrapping paper to make the hat
