Step 1. Prepare The Hair And Hat For The Concrete Gnome
Start by cutting 6 pieces of jute at about 7” long, then take each piece and unravel it.
Step 2. Make The Gnome’s Body
Place the trouser sock over the tall container so it acts as a sleeve holder. The toe seam will be at the bottom and the sock is open at the top.
