Super cute, thank you

[@kelliewoollven2869]

He is adorable I'm in awe how u don't burn yourself with the hot glue my poor fingers r so sore xx

[@SarahNenniDaher]

Oh, I do! Finger guards are the best. But honestly, this velvet was so thick that nothing seeped through at all. It's kind of pain to work with (sewing or gluing), but the end result is just too pretty. :)

I was able to find red velvet at Joanns but be sure to use a coupon. I bought a 1/3 of a yard and have some left over, but not enough for a Mrs. Claus. I'll have to go back. Thanks for being here, Deanna - have a great day.

I actually FINALLY found some of the ones people get at the Dollar Tree. They're definitely not as robust as the ones I pick up at the craft stores or on Amazon, but I'm going to give them a try. As always, thank you for watching and supporting me!

[@lindak7193]

@@SarahNenniDaher I absolutely can't find cones at the Dollar Tree near me or any Dollar store . They have just the ones in the small sizes.

WOW THE GNOME IS ADORABLE BUT LOOKS LIKE ALOT OF WORK 😍

[@SarahNenniDaher]

Haha It is. But next week, I'm sharing a 10-Minute Santa gnome, so it all balances out. LOL

[@Melodypodrasky]

Love him!!

[@suesanneufeld9138]

Oh my gosh!!! He's soooo cute. I cant wait to make him! I think a couple of plush Christmas stockings might work rather than purchasing velvet.

[@SarahNenniDaher]

Great idea!! I made this back in late September or early October, so I didn't think of that but it's an awesome suggestion. Thank you, Suesan.
