Gnome Craft Supplies
How to Make a Gnome Face
Start by cutting the fur to the width of your bottle. Trim the beard however you like it. It’s best to pull up the fur and cut the backing only. That way the fur stays fuzzy.
Glue the fur to the bottle with a hot glue gun. Then glue a wooden ball onto the fur to make a nose.
After the glue dries, pull the sock down over the neck of the bottle and over the beard for the cutest gnome wine and sock gift!
How to Make a Gnome Hat with Socks
You’ll be giving this pair of socks as a gift and will need to roll up one sock and place it inside of the other. This gives your sock hat the stuffing it needs to stand up.
Tie the toe of the sock hat into a ball. If the fuzzy sock is too thick to tie, just use a pipe cleaner and tie around the tip to form a little ball.
Now place the sock over the jar and shape it however you like.

The fuzzy socks usually go pretty fast at the Dollar Tree. I’ve got links to some great ones you can get in a few days from Amazon. Good luck and have fun crafting gnomes!
Amy,
This little wine bottle gnome is adorale. What a clever idea and two gifts in one – the socks to wear and the wine (or any liquid) to drink Love it.
I hope I can find fuzzy socks at my DT, but I never have.
? love you page Amy
Amy,
So glad you found out about the blood clot and can use medication to “fix it!” I hope it all goes well and you will be healthy again.
I love the wine bottle gnome. I give wine to a couple of my friends and this will make a lovely gift to go along with it. They can use the gnome throughout the winter after enjoying the wine. This is indeed an easy craft to make, and an inexpensive one.
Merry Christmas!
