Sooo, let’s talk a few minutes about Gnomes. I think they are the cutest! Yep, seriously crushing on gnomes over here. My husband is a wine lover, so I decided to try my hand at Gnome Wine Toppers with one of my fave crafting materials — FELT. These are ridiculously easy to make and did I mention, the cutest??
Gnome Wine Toppers
Gnome Wine ToppersLet’s grab a few supplies and take a look how you can make some of these for your holiday festivities (or gift giving).
Supplies for Gnome Wine Toppers:
Felt (9×12 sheets)
Glue Gun
Faux Fur
3/8″ Wood Furniture Buttons
Step One:
Wrap felt into the shape of a cone. You can glue your seams as you go, but I chose to create the shape and hold it in place with a bobby pin, then use my handy dandy glue gun to seal the deal {giggle}. The perfectionist in me didn’t like the glue as you go idea — and I may have ruined one trying it that way. HA! nd use glue gun to
Step Two:
Trim your cone. You can cut your felt into a rectangle; however, I used a full sheet of felt. I simply made the cone, then cut a couple inches off.
Step Three:
Cut your faux fur into a triangle. Mine measured 4-1/2″ long and 3″ across (at it’s widest point). Attach the faux fur to the inside of your cone shape with glue gun.
Step Four:
Glue your nose on and place over your wine bottle!
Gnome Wine Toppers. Gosh, they just make me smile!!
They’re perfect for creative wrapping, hostess gifts or adding to your holiday entertaining.
I’m fairly certain your guests will want to take one home too {wink}.

Ellen says
I always go with the theory that “there is no stupid question”, so….is there an easy way to roll the felt into a cone shape?!
