- Then decide which side of the gnome you want to be its face. Stick the pinecone, unpainted side up, into the felt hat. Don't glue it into place yet.
- Glue on the bead for the nose and glue the hat to the top of the bead to secure it in place. Glue the back of the hat into place as well.
- Tie off the end of the hat.
- Fold the hat and glue into place. Add a puff ball if desired.
