Hi! My name is Cheryl, This is my
homemade Gnome on a Toadstool.
Instructions;
1.
TOADSTOOL Attach two pool noodles end
to end with duct tape and trim. Set aside the leftover noodle
segment.
2. Center and glue the taped-together
noodle on one edge of the red fabric.
3. Roll
the noodle into the fabric and run a glue line to seal it in a pocket.
Then enclose the elastic in a pocket along the opposite edge, pinning
the elastic's ends to hold it in place.
4. When
the glue is dry, bring the two ends of the noodle together and tape
securely. Cover this joint with the unglued fabric ends and glue them
in place.
5.
Unpin the elastic and gather the fabric to create an
opening that fits snugly around your waist. Overlap the elastic's ends
by 2 inches, secure them with hot glue, then trim.
6. From
the white felt, cut 30 to 40 circles 2 to 4 inches in diameter. Glue
them to the toadstool in a random pattern.
7.
GNOME LEGS: To stuff the
sweatpants, use an inflated balloon (about 5 inches in diameter) in
each upper leg and a 9-inch length of the leftover pool noodle in each
lower leg. Pull on the boots, securing them at the tops with duct
tape.
8. Put on the T-shirt, the skirt or pants,
and the toadstool. With long pieces of tape, adhere the legs to your
shirt
9.
Use safety pins to hold the legs in a cross-legged
position and to secure them to the toadstool. put on a
pullover top, then arrange it to cover the waistbands of the gnome legs
and the toadstool. Add the belt, hat, and beard.

GREAT Instructions!

Cheryl!

If you don't have the time or the inclination to MAKE a costume this
year. If you've thought about it, but your heart, for whatever reason,
JUST isn't in it...You can probably purchase a costume of the type you
were planning to make...and maybe even for about the same as you might
spend on the materials to MAKE a
costume.
On the other hand, you may look around and spot a Costume that changes
your Costume plans completely Ü.
