Here are the directions for the Gnome Tree above:  “For the beard of the Gnome tree above wrap a solid piece of white material such as felt (or a dollar tree table cloth) around the bottom half of the tree. Use the same material to cut 3 strips that I layered over that to make the beard leaving around an inch at the top to wrap around the tree. Found a round foam type piece at the hobby lobby for the nose and covered it in a skin color type material then added the red mesh around the tree and at the top for his hat. Cutting the felt took the longest but otherwise very simple.”

Probably one of our favorite methods is the hot glue gun method. All you need is wax or parchment paper, a printed out snowflake design, and hot glue.  

Place the parchment paper over the snowflake design and trace it with hot glue. Once dry peel them off and place on the window or glue to string to make hanging snowflake garland.
