Wee Gnome Halloween Costume

This is an adorable boy/girl costume that is quick and easy to whip up using things from your child's wardrobe.

Step 1: Assemble what you'll need

I used clothes that my son already had. A cozy, primary coloured shirt, brown shorts, red rubber boots and striped legwarmers.

I bought: red fabric to make a hat, white fun-fur to make a beard & eyebrows, piece of white felt to sew fun-fur onto, thrift store belt, tiny garden tools.

You will also need a sewing maching, red thread, velcro and some basic sewing skills.

 You should dress your kid up like this and travel the world.

Your supply list neglected to mention the key element – one really adorable kid. Oh, but it looks like you already had one of those on hand! Great idea, and nice set of instructions!

This is one cute costume and one cute kid. His aunt is going to dress up like the Travelocity gnome in CA.

That is an awesome costume! The eyebrows on the cap and the tool holster are brilliant touches. Great job!

This is so cute!
When I have kids I'm going to dress them up as gnomes every halloween until they can choose their own costumes :)

Wonderful!!!  Is your little Gnome related to The very cool "Travelocity Gnome"?

This is precious!

I kinda want to get one of my friends to do this. I mean, he's 30 and all, but whatever. It'll be just as awesome! :D

Very nice, a living garden gnome! I love the idea.

Now, what to choose, a fishing pole or a war axe? :)
