 Homemade Adult Garden Gnome Costume:
This costume requires no sewing, but you will need a stapler.
Making your garden gnome costume:
Start with a pair of red footed pajamas
Make the Gnome Hat
from Green Felt (available 6 foot wide for about $5 a yard from fabric stores).
Cut 2 triangles, staple them together, turn it inside out - fold up the brim.
Cut a beard, mustache, sideburns and eyebrows from fake fur or felt and staple to the hat.
See pic at right and below. |
 
Make the Gnome Tunic & Belt
Use yellow or orange felt or fabric, cut up a large t-shirt
Cut a buckle from posterboard or cardboard and slip the belt (made from plastic or felt) through it.
Or just tie a sash - or sheets braided to look like rope - around your waist.
Make the Gnome Pipe
Use orange posterboard.
Cut 2 pipe shapes, tape them together, form them to a rounded shape by bending and smooshing them and stick some oak leaves or felt in the bowl.
Make Gnome Implements
You can carry rakes, fishing poles, baskets, little brown jug, watering cans, lanterns, giant carrots, gnome porno mags, etc.
(just checking to see if you're paying attention!)
