Our second project in Sewing club was to make a woollen gnome/ gonk.  We used part of a kitchen roll tube and red wool to make the hat.  We made a knot in the wool around the piece of cardboard tube.  Once we had completely filled the cardboard ring we were then able to use another piece of red wool to tie all the tops together.  To make the beard we wrapped grey wool around a piece of card many times.  We then pulled the wool off the card and used a piece of wood to tie the middle together.  Once secure we cut the ends of the wool.  We stuffed the hat with some stuffing then used a glue gun to glue the beard to the hat.  We chose a coloured bead for the nose and glued that onto the beard.  We trimmed the excess strand of string from the hat and bead.  We added a long loop of wool so we could hand it from our Christmas trees.
