Equipment

  • 1 Felting Needle 36 Gauge

Materials

  • 2 g Green Roving Wool
  • 3 g Pink Roving Wool
  • ½ g Brown Roving Wool
  • 1 g White Roving Wool

Instructions

  • On a Felting pad with proper safety gear, take the green wool roving. Felt in an upward motion toward the base of the mini gnome. Work into a cylindrical shape.
  • With the pink roving, felt in an upward motion to create a cylinder with the base the same as the diameter of the green body. On the other end of the pink cylinder, bring the wool together to a point. Continue using an upward felting motion to secure the base with the hat.
  • Using the brown roving, create a cylindrical ball. Attach, using the felting needle, along the shared border of the cloak and the hat.
  • While the white roving wool is still in a non-manipulated form, felt in an upward motion around the base and slightly up the sides of the nose. Shape as desired.
