Materials:
- Pattern (click on the link to download the pattern)
- White faux fur
- Craft paper tubes
- Fleece craft foam, white and pink
- 2 pieces of 1-inch pom poms
- Lightweight air dry clay
- Carrots, Hobby Lobby
- Craft foam, white and pink
- Bead for nose
Directions:
Step 1
Download and print out the pattern then cut them all out. Grab the paper piece for the body and glide a popsicle stick over it to roll it around the tube easier. Apply glue on the paper then wrap and attach it to the tube, get the round piece of paper for the hole of the tube, then apply glue over the bottom edge, and attach the paper. Assemble and glue the pink paws onto the bunny feet, then set them aside. Go back to the craft tube, then notch the paper around the bottom, glue around, then fold all the notches upward. Glue each pair of ears together with hot glue, then take the hat material and glue on the short side, fold it over and set it aside. Grab the body material, glue it on the short side, fold it over, and then set it aside to dry as well. Turn the ears right side out, poking the top corners of the ears out nicely, fold a pipe cleaner in half and insert them in the ears, and set them aside. Glue the white fabric onto the craft tube, then trim off the excess, and attach a circle of the same white fabric at the bottom.

Step 2
Cut the faux fur into a U shape, making sure to cut behind the fur only, then attach the beard to the tube with hot glue, attach a ribbon at the top edge of the beard as well to hold it down properly. Glue the little bead for the nose, then cut small pieces of craft foam to make the teeth and glue it right underneath the nose. Take the hat piece, measure an inch down from the top, then tie and gather the fabric at the center, knot the string then trim off the excess. Trim the top of the head a bit to lessen the bulk, then flip it right side out. Wear it onto the tube and fold the bottom about ¼ inch up, glue the bottom of the ear into the pipe cleaner then cut off the excess, fold the bottom in between and attach with glue. Attach the pompom on top of the head and at the back for the tail, then glue and tuck the ears in the hat, take the feet pieces and attach them slightly slanted at the front. Roll half-inch balls for each hand, then flatten them and pull the back part, shape the paws and wrap it around the little carrot gently, hot glue and let dry, attach the carrot piece in front of the gnome’s body.
