Materials for a Topiary Gnome
Below are the items I used but I encourage you to check your stash. If you have questions, leave me comment or email me and we’ll brain storm together.
- 6-7 inch foam cone
- sheet moss
- 2.75-3 inch clay pot
- greenery and small flowers
- faux fur
- a small wood flat back or bead
- hot glue gun, scissors
How to Make This Spring Gnome
First, cut a piece of sheet moss and wrap the cone. Glue the sheet moss, leaving extra at the top to glue up the point. At the bottom, cut 1/2 inch slits and glue them down.
Next, use scissors or a craft knife to create a hole and glue in miniature flowers and greenery all around the topiary. Be sure to get the back, too. Put the topiary cone into the flower pot (glue or leave off to store).
Once all of the flowers are on, cut a piece of faux fur to create the beard. Glue down the top 1/4 edge to make it tailored and then glue it to the topiary gnome. Add a nose and display.
