Super easy gnome made from mostly Dollar Tree supplies. Supply list and music links below!
Supplies:
1. pair of socks from DT,
2. weighted filler (I used lentils from DT),
3. poly-fil (could use filling from DT pillow or stuffed animal),
4. old flannel shirt (DT has cute scarves you could use as fabric)
5. drop cloth material for hat (could use DT felt from craft section)
6. DT luau skirt for beard, hands, and detail (could use faux fur)
7. wood bead for nose (could use DT ping pong ball covered in DT panty-hose "foot liner")
8. optional twine for belt and details (DT usually has twine in craft section or hardware section)
9. optional leaf on hat and pumpkin for gnome to hold (got mine from a DT floral pick)

Super cute. I would recommend reinforcing the rubber bands with twine or string tied around it. The rubber bands will desintegrate over time and you can have a mess. Speaking from experience lol.

Hi Carolyn, I really, really love your scarecrow gnome. He's awesome! I watched with avid interest as you built him up from bits of this and that. I thought your idea to colour the raffia was a good one, but I think perhaps ink, or food colouring would have coloured it more deeply? However, it came out wonderfully and looked old and slightly dirty which is the scarecrow vibe, so all's well that ends well. I am new to your channel and have subbed to you. Ty for a lovely video.

Using food such as beans, lentils , rice will draw bugs to anything like ghosts, snowman and gnomes. Don’t use cotton either, bugs will make nests and lay eggs. Use rocks or glass ovals that you get at the dollar stores.
