Today when Angry Chicken posted a link to this Etsy store I was just captivated by her little gnomes! I was thinking about purchasing some for my soon to be 5 year old, but I was wondering how difficult they would be to make myself. Has anyone done this? I don't know if I could find real wool felt around without ordering it online and that is pushing it time wise. Are the materials expensive or hard to find?
I guess I'm just trying to determine if I should try making them myself (even though I'm not super crafty) or just buy them!

Oh, yes, Elizabeth's tutorial was excellent! And easy! I have two sets of gnomes, and my kids love them.

Really - they were very, very easy to do!

Are the gnomes in this tutorial the small or large "wooden folk"? I can't tell from the description.

Thanks for the link Elizabeth! I'm very excited about it!
