How to make a GNOME HOME

Well the weather didn't cooperate with us last weekend so we got crafty............

Last weekend we made a Gnome Home.... and it turned out great!
Supplies needed:
Paper Coffee Cup (no joke you need one time to grab a timmys!)
Kitchen Paper Towel
Newspaper
Watered down white glue
Craft Moss
(Put some in a blender to make it finer, it will stick to the home better)
Tape



Cut the coffee cup in 1/2 and tape it down to a thick piece of card, and start paper mache over the whole structure, when secure, add kitchen towel over top to smooth out the surface.

Let it dry and paint the whole thing brown. Cut it to shape and let it dry again.

Then cover it with glue and sprinkle it with the moss add some femo mushrooms if desired and there you go.
( Two year olds love to do the sprinkling!)

Add your Gnome and if you live where it snows decorate it seasonally as shown:

Hope you enjoyed this little project let me know how they turn out!
