One of my followers asked me why all my gnomes were male. They were right. So I created these female Halloween gnomes. They are just as adorable as the men! You can see the male Halloween gnomes here.
I also designed cards for each female gnome specifically and will post those as soon as I get the posts written. They are adorable! Make sure you check back for those.

Paper Selection
The colors these Female Halloween Gnomes are typical Halloween colors. Be creative and use some patterned paper or maybe emboss some of the clothes for more variation. Your imagination is the only limit. The clothes needs to be heavier weight paper to make it strong enough to support the rest.
Cutting The Female Halloween Gnomes
This is a simple project to cut. You can make these gnomes as big or small as you want. The limit to keep all the parts on a normal size mat is about 16-22 inches tall for each gnome. Try each gnome until all the parts fit on one regular mat. If you want to make it them smaller the limit is about 4 inches tall or the parts become too small. There are alot of very thin parts so be careful taking them off the mats.
Assembling the Female Halloween Gnomes
If you want to emboss some of the clothes, this is the time to do that.
Start by gluing the hair to the underside of the hat. For the harvest gnome the top of the hair pieces makes the band in the hat. Next, glue the hat and hair to the dress. Add the embellishments to the top gnome and the shoes and arms under the dress. Placing the arms can be tricky. Just put them where it looks good and they can hold the props. Don’t forget the noses.
And your Female Halloween Gnomes are done! Have a Happy Halloween!
