Materials Needed

To make your own pompom gnome, gather the following materials:

• Yarn: Choose your favorite color for the pompom body and hat.
• Pompom Maker: Or use a DIY cardboard circle method.
• Scissors
• Glue Gun: For assembling the gnome.
• Felt: For the gnome's hat and other decorations.
• Wooden Bead or Small Pompon: For the nose.
• Cotton Ball or Fake Fur: For the beard.

Step-by-Step Guide to Making a Pompom Gnome

1. Create the Pompom Body

• Wrap Yarn: Use a pompom maker or cardboard circles. Wrap the yarn around the tool until you have a thick, fluffy ball.
• Cut and Secure: Once you've wrapped enough yarn, cut along the edges of the pompom maker and secure the center with a piece of yarn.

2. Make the Gnome's Hat

• Cut the Felt: Cut a triangle from the felt, large enough to cover the top of the pompom.
• Shape the Hat: Roll the felt into a cone shape and secure the edge with hot glue.

3. Assemble the Gnome

• Attach the Hat: Place the felt hat on top of the pompom and glue it securely in place.
• Add the Nose: Glue a wooden bead or small pompom just beneath the hat's edge to form the gnome's nose.
• Create the Beard: Attach cotton ball fluff or faux fur below the nose to give your gnome a bushy beard.

4. Finishing Touches

• Customize your gnome with additional decorations like buttons, ribbons, or even a small scarf.
