This festive lil' gnome was given a new life after I purchased him and his friends in their original, much-loved, vintage condition (see last photo). He's now ready to bring warm smiles for more years to come! 

He's around 4.5 inches (11 cm) tall and has been made of plastic. I gave his face a makeover with spun cotton, a tradition that began in 19th century Germany, where cotton is moulded  into shapes which are then painted and decorated. I gave him a new fluffy wool beard and he wears a painted wool felt hat. His body has been given a fresh coat of paint and dusted with gold and white German glass glitter. He holds a green wreath with red ribbon and hangs from gold thread.

Your gnome is ready to ship! He will be wrapped with much love and care for his journey in acid free tissue and tissue shreds. Shipping is Royal Mail Tracked 48 (in the UK) and depending on country, international shipping is either International Tracked or International Tracked and Signed (this will show during checkout). Find more about shipping here.
