Instructions
Step 1:
Get the white colored yarn and wrap it onto your index finger 100 times. Cut excess and remove it from your finger. Get a small piece of yarn and tie it tightly around the middle of the loops.
Step 2:
Get the colored yarn and wrap it onto your index finger 50 times. Cut excess and remove it from your finger. Get a small piece of yarn and tie it tightly in the middle just like what you did in step 1. Repeat and make another one.
Step 3:
Cut both loops on each side of the white piece you made earlier. Repeat with the one of the colored pieces, then trim it into a ball. Glue it on top of the other untrimmed colored piece, then glue it to the white pom pom. Slightly trim the top.
Step 4:
Glue two black beads onto the side of wooden bead for the eyes. Set aside to dry. Get the wire and pencil. Wrap the wire around the pencil to make a circle, then make another one beside it to form an eyeglass. Cut the excess and fold it in the middle. Glue it onto the middle of the wooden bead.
Step 5:
Glue the wooden bead with glasses and eyes into the head of the gnome.
Step 6:
Get a thread and needle and insert it through the back of the head towards the top of the hat, then do it again from hat to the back. Tie the ends together.
