  Step 1

  Supplies

• 

  Step 2

  Cut out a head shape, you can eyeball it I think mine
  was about 3" in from the sides and top.
  Sew all around and leave a 3" opening for turning.

• 

  Step 3

  Turn right sides out and stuff head, take a piece of
  white floss tie around neck and knot.
  Sew opening closed either by hand or sewing machine.

• 

  Step 4

  Pinch hands and tie white floss around and knot. (there is NO stuffing in hands and feet)
  Do the same for the feet.

• 

  Step 5

  Lay your piece of fleece around your little gnomes head and
  place a pin so you know where to start sewing.
  take it off the gnomes head.
  I layed a piece of thread on the fleece so you can see how you
  need to cut and sew your hat. (The thread is not really on the hat)

• 

  Step 6

  Cut hat, sew.
  You will notice that the bottom of the hat is at an angle,

• 

  Step 7

  I then cut the bottom level.

• 

  Step 8

  Turn hat right sides out and slip it on the gnomes head.
  If it's too loose take it off and sew it a little smaller.
  Put it on the gnomes head and sew it on with a whip stitch
  with regular sewing thread.

• 

  Step 9

  Sew on eyes with tan floss entering the needle from the back of the head
  just under the hat.
  I did 2 little stitches for each eye and tied it off at the back of the head also.

• 

  Step 10

  Apply blush with a q-tip for the cheeks. Or you could use non-toxic paint.

• 

  Step 11

  Tie a bow around his neck and put a couple of stitches in close to the knot to secure the bow so the baby can't get it untied and your all done!

• Step 12

  I hope you have lots of fun making these and your little ones enjoy playing with them!
