  1. did you glue the mop to the form or did you do slip knots thanks looks great

  2. Thanks for a great idea! I have plenty of those on hand from other projects, The wood ones suggested on a different gnome project are a bit pricey.

    I loved this idea I used a pumpkin decoration just like snowmen from dollar tree

  5. Susie Frees says

    I just used Ping-Pong balls for the gnome’s nose. Same idea as the golf ball, but much lighter and easier to buy. What else can be used for the frame? These snowmen cannot always be found. I looked today and nothing! I love using mop heads for crafting. This is one thing I had not thought of yet, and I love gnomes.

  6. love it adorable

  7. Is there a video tutorial? The instructions are a little lacking!
