Measure and cut felt to wrap around your medium-sized wood slice. Secure the felt with a line of Aleene’s The Ultimate Multi-Surface Adhesive to create your gnome’s body.

Create your gnome’s beard by gluing on faux Christmas tree branches. Hold the branches in place for a minute to make sure they adhere properly, then allow to dry completely. 

While your gnome’s beard is drying, use your largest wood slice as a base for your display. Apply Aleene’s Glitter Snow to cover the base using craft sticks, and create texture as desired with various paint brushes. 

While the Glitter Snow is still wet, place your smallest wood slice and a few bottle brush trees onto the base so that they can adhere to the snow. Decorate these accessories with extra Glitter Snow as desired. 

While the Glitter Snow is drying, finish creating your gnome! Cut a pink pompom in half and glue it to your gnome to create a nose. 

Cut your gray, red, and white felt to create arms and a hat for your gnome. Glue a pipe cleaner onto the backside of each arm so that the arms can stand out straight, then glue the arms to each side of your gnome.

Place the hat on top of the gnome’s head and secure with glue. You can also fill the hat with polyfill stuffing or paper towels to prevent the hat from flopping over.

Place your completed gnome onto the Glitter Snow base and add extra accessories to customize your display! Then, let the project dry— the Glitter Snow can take up to 24 hours to dry completely.

Your woodsy winter wonderland is complete! Create a larger display with additional bottle brush trees and wood, or display it on its own as a cute centerpiece.
