Glue or stitch the blank end of the fabric message to the base of the pom-pom with the message facing upwards towards the pom-pom, and forwards, so that it can be read from the side with the eyes on. The origins of Valentine’s Day are very disputed, but the most common explanations are narrowed down to the festival of Lupercalia and the martyr of St. Valentine. Lupercalia was a pagan fertility festival in Rome. Ancient Romans would party and purify themselves through rituals. Every year on February 15th a male and a female were paired up as partners and many ended up marrying each other. To Christianize the event, it was replaced by Valentine’s Day by Pope Gelasius I. The Valentines Day Gnome is a fun, decorative addition to any home. This little guy can be placed on your entrance or under the tree and will help you celebrate love with family members this valentine’s day! What is the story of the gonk? Cut a pair of feet from a piece of stiff card and glue or stitch to the base of the pom-pom, covering the end of the fabric which you earlier attached to the pom-pom.

Easter is pretty much the new Christmas when it comes to decorations, so go wild! Make a feature of your mantlepiece by swapping frosty garlands for spring foliage and flowers for your Easter gonk to nestle in. Use paper, felt or whatever you have to make “eyes” for the pom-pom and attach them with glue or a couple of stitches. The body, hat and beard of this item is made from soft fabrics while its tall white fedora has an adjustable metal wire that can be bent at will to create different shapes when you want them; plus there’s something about weighted bottoms (filled with sand) which allow these creatures to stand on their own!
