109038Wow! Sounds like a great time, and you did so well preparing for it. I have a friend who made several for sale, Christie got one for me while she was here a couple years ago. These will be a mainstay in the creative community.. . Yours look fabulous.

I used more than one gnome idea for this project. But the hat pattern I found at:
https://shop.rufflesandrainboots....
We used a cone and holiday socks for the body (cutting the sock straight across just below the heel). I purchased noses and beard material off the internet. We used glue for the beard and nose.
Hope that helps!! Hugs!

Thank you! Everyone had to use a pattern to cut out the hats and then sew them. I showed them a couple of different stitches - all in all, each one looks great, each very different!! Thanks again!!

They are going to take them home at Christmas. Before that we will be all together for our son's wedding, a week before Christmas. What a group we all are! Thank you and hugs!!

95245Laura, These are so cute, as usual. For the newer Cuties, would you consider looking up your previous centerpiece posts and offering links to them, so they can see what a fun family you have?

It really was a lot of fun. Each year, the guys especially surprise me how "crafty" they are. The problem now, is I have to come up with a craft project for next year that will meet or beat this one! Wish me luck, I'll need it! Hugs!!

Thank you, Caroline. I preplan as much as I can. Now that our children are grown, each takes on a meal for the group so we don't spend a lot of money going out to eat. Thanks goodness they each get along with each other and their spouses (one a fiancee). Hugs to you!!
