 super quick super easy holiday wine gnome topper what is up welcome back if you're new here and you like to do it yourself build it yourself or make it yourself go ahead and subscribe you'll like this stuff today we are making holiday gnome wine toppers slash ornaments oh do a purpose yes I've seen a lot of these little known things everywhere and I happen to find these at Joanne's these little what are they cardboard coons and this is what we're going to use I think I got them for like two dollars a piece maybe even cheaper and so this is what we're going to use is our base for our wine topper okay stay focused babe so the first thing we're going to do is we're going to add a fur beard right here I bought this what did I buy half a yard of fabric this is way too much really you only need a quarter of a yard of fur here I was this for my beard this is this is something we could use this to like lay on the floor and we're done hold on this is my new cape oh yeah yeah get it get it it's your holiday cake okay so I drew a little pattern on here I made a pattern actually what I did was I found it I found a gnome and I tore apart a gnome and I made a pattern out of this gnome and so we're going to use this to create our gnome today so that's what I've drawn on this fabric I'm not even sure if you can see it from there but what I did want to tell you is a little trick and did you want to get the close-up camera oh yeah close-up cam so you can't just use the scissors to cut out this pattern here because he'll have a short straight beard he'll have a tight cut beard oh tight cut beard and what we want is a long beard this is a Scandinavian gnome so he needs to have a nice long beard gonna be an elder all right so let me show you up close okay so what you want to do is you want to cut just the backing but not the actual fur on top so I found using this exacto knife just cuts the fabric in the back see what I'm doing here yep and really just gonna take a couple passes and then that leaves the fur beard okay all right so so I don't end up bleeding again by the end we don't have to cut this out because guess what I have already cut us a beard and you should have one over there at your workstation too all I do have a beard but guess what this stuff is whoo I messed to work with it's hairs everywhere and I will tell you when I went to Joanne's and I asked her to cut me some fabric she said oh I thought I wasn't going to have to cut for today so I can tell you that was not mean it's fun to work with we're already getting furry yeah we're gonna try two different methods you have it hanging off of your beard we're gonna try two methods today Garrett's gonna try the hot glue method and I'm gonna try the no-sew glue fabric fusion for my leans here as my method now we could sew this and I think it would look really nice but not everyone has a sewing machine so we're gonna try the no-sew known yeah all right ready you need your cone cone you need your beard beard and we already have our little hat templates cut out mine's going to be red what color is yours have it over there at your station gray gray and then we're gonna use these little fuzzball let me see if I can show you these probably can't see it little fuzzball noses here's your nose here's my nose and then in order to keep the hat stiff we're gonna use some pipe cleaners yes pipe cleaners nope nope I was making a monocle well you're gonna mess it up right step one add your beard to the bottom of your cone two to four hours oh oops are you telling me I gotta use the hot glue that's hot we'll share let's build our hats and then we'll add our nose because you can't decide what you can't put your nose until you know where your hat's gonna be yeah yeah that's what everyone says that's what everyone says don't put your nose on it so you know where your hat's gonna be so let me like say I'm just saying that's how it is yeah my grandpa used to tell me all right so the trick with the hats to give it a little bit of a crinkled hat look if you can see that is to add the pipe cleaner on the inside right at the tip of the pipe cleaner at the top it's like sticky lava and then once you add your pipe cleaner at the top you bend it down and then you can use that to give your hat kind of a crinkled look because you'll attach the pipe cleaner on the inside so I'll show you that in a moment so let's first add our pipe cleaner to the top of our hat there we go now just seal the edges of your hat see my seam not bad but you turn out okay don't judge I'm gonna put a bowl on the top I like your skinny hat yes mine's a skinny hat that's a fatter hat skinny gnome hats all right so step two we need to cut the tip off of this thing so we can put our pipe cleaner down in there careful so with the pipe cleaner in there you can give your hat a little bit of a curve you see how I'm pulling on the pipe cleaner and you can attach it on the inside can and leave it curved yes yes like that yes but before you do that I think you need to decide where your nose goes yes where does your nose goes so now that you know where your hat's gonna go you want to tuck your little nose right up under that hat like this so now that I kind of know where it's gonna go I can glue that on as well and I'm gonna have to use the hot glue it sneaks up on you yes yes when it first touches you it's not quite as hot but then guess what it just soaks into your skin I was like warm warm warm oh he is so cute look how cute that is all right that's gonna be my guy I love it I love it all right yes I put my little hat and pipe cleaner back in there and so from here you just want a hot glue or tape or something your little pipe cleaner on the inside we think so for my guy needs like a you need some age in his beard well his pipe cleaner sticking out there in the back oh yeah all right there's his little nose attached to his little beard and his hat oh you know what ball in the end of mine too I didn't do that yet yeah that's cute I'm gonna add some I'm gonna add some great it was beard that's great it was beard yeah just gonna add a little give me a little something it's just an ink pad and like a glue brush let's complete next up is to add just a little piece of this twine to the back and we'll make it so that you can then hang it as an ornament on a tree when you're done here we go isn't that so cute so now he can be an ornament after he's a gift all right who's came out better vote again you like to do it yourself build it yourself make it yourself so do we so
