Just Add Stickers

Easy DIY Christmas Gnomes These cute little guys are fun and easy for little crafters and make a cute addition to any Christmas decor.  What you need: (per gnome) Peice of felt Square cotton makeup remover Egg carton (one compartment cut from the egg carton) 1 bead for his nose and other beads for decorating his hat Hot glue What to do: For the hat: Cut a strip of felt, fold both ends toward each other to make a cone shape, in the size that you want (it should be big enough to cover the top portion of the egg carton.) The bottom will be uneven, cut the uneven peices to make a curve.  Put hot glue on one end if the felt, fold the other side over and press together.
