No-Sew Snowman Gnome
Because this snowman gnome is a no-sew pattern it’s just that much easier to complete. You won’t have to dig out that old sewing machine—just dust off the hot glue gun! The minky fleece that the snowman gnome’s body is made of is so soft, you will want to reach out and touch the finished snowman gnome every time you catch a glimpse of it. My granddaughter has already told me that she needs one of these snowman gnomes. Guess what she is getting for Christmas!
The snowman gnome’s corncob pipe is made from a wine cork, and the hat is made from heavy-duty black felt. There may even be some magic in that old hat! In addition, you will need some craft felt in pink and blue (or teal) for the hat’s flower.
