• Remove the other materials from packaging.

Step Two: Attach the burlap to make the hat.

• To make the hat on the gnome, start by laying the front of the gnome down on top of the burlap so that the bottom third of the triangle is not covered as this will be the face.
• Trim the burlap as needed and then glue it in place leaving a few inches the bottom unglued.
• Turn the gnome over and make sure that the glue is holding the burlap in place as needed.

Step Three: Attach the remaining elements to the gnome.

• Lay out the flowers and lay them out how you would like them to be displayed. Then attach the flowers using the zip ties or glue if needed (for cardboard triangles). My hat was folded up at the bottom to hold the flowers.
• For the beard, carefully glue the beard in place, stuffing them under the bottom of the burlap to make them look like hair and a beard.
