I know I post cards 99.98% of the time but today I want to share something new in my lineup of projects, a fun take on the rage for gnomes. I adore gnomes but up until last month, I was buying gnomes made by other people. I had colored my share of gnome images and made cards with them, but these 3D gnomes are the first of their kind I've made.
These are made from craft foam cones, felt squares (which have been in my crafting stash forever and the package hadn't even been opened!) and faux fur, following a pattern I found on Duane King's YouTube site. The fawn brown gnome with the pointed (but crumpled) hat is his Wizard pattern and the taller gnome is from the Gnome with Coat and Top Hat pattern. They are approximately 6.5 inches and just under 8 inches tall.
While I think these are cute enough, I also know that my finished gnomes will get better as I make more of them. In the meantime, I thought I'd share my first efforts. :-D
Enjoy and Happy Crafting! NanaConnie
