Clear Scraps Medium Wood Gnome–No Place Like Gnome

Hi there everyone! Laura is here with you today sharing a home decor project

with one of Clear Scraps fun new goodies, their Medium Wood Gnome!

How cute is this guy??!! These are so much fun to decorate! The raw wood can be

painted, inked, sprayed, covered with paper, whatever you'd like to do to make

this little cutie your own! On this one I used a combo of different things. Most of

him is painted. The beard you can see I used 2 colors to give it a lot more depth

and dimension. I also inked around the edges of all of the pieces, which you

don't have to do, but I like the "woodsy" feel it give using the brown ink to create

shadows and layers of color. I did also use some paper and I'm sure you can see!

The best part is that there is a separate piece for the hat and the beard, so that

way if you want to trace around it and cut out of paper, it's super easy to do!

I did add a little embellishment to the hat, adding a band and also some decoration.

It's always fun to add a little bit of extra detail, and the fussy cut leaves, button and

twine are a perfect addition. The other embellishment that I added on to this project,

The word "Home" is one of the Clear Scraps Chipboard Word Titles. They come

as raw chipboard that you paint, ink, etc. Here I painted it with green acrylic

paint and then dabbed on a little bit of brown paint to fit with the fall woods

theme. I turned it into a sign for him to hold by gluing the word on a scrap of

brown cardstock, and then I added more fussy cut leaves on the sign. He just looks

like an adorable little guy that lives in the forest, doesn't he?

Thanks so much for stopping by today, stop back again soon!
