DIY Gnome Ornaments using a Mop Head

Step 1

Remove the black plastic piece from the mop head with a pair of pliers as shown.

Step 2

Cut the mop head in half right down the center.

Step 3

Remove the metal hanger from the plastic ornament.

Step 4

Tuck the mop head strings into the opening of the bulb ornament.

Step 5

Replace the original metal hanger into the ornament.

Step 6

Place sock over the top of the ornament hanger. (optionally you can add a way to hang the ornament at this point by threading it through the sock and the hanger.)

Step 7

Tie on a jingle bell to the tip end of the sock gnome cap.

Step 8

Optionally tie on a bow with your ribbon just above the jingle bell.

Step 9

Cut a single berry off the holiday pick and hot glue it to the mop head just under the sock cap to use as the "nose" for the gnome. (If you don't have a berry, you can substitute with a painted wooden bead.)

Step 10

Trim the gnome's beard or the bottom of the mop head strings making them even if you wish.
