How to Make this Festive Gnome Design by Sue Bowler

Finding quick, easy and sellable designs is always a little challenging, especially when you are building your seasonal offerings! Today, I would like to share this cute and festive gnome design that I recently created and shared with the viewers of BMTV.

Material List

1 x Merry Christmas Gnome
#19772

1 x 42" Gnome
#20055

4 x 7" Gold Chrome Latex Balloons #85111
8 x 11" Gold Chrome Latex Balloons #58271

1 x 260Q Chrome Gold
#58283

1 x 260Q Red
#43958 

You will also need:

• Balloon weight (for the overall design)
• Small balloon weight & helium (for the Merry Christmas foil balloon)
• Nylon Line and red satin ribbon
• Stretchy Balloon Tape

To find out how to make this design please watch the video below! 

Balloon inflation sizes as a reminder:

• Base and 3rd cluster inflated to 8"
• 2nd/middle cluster inflated to 3.5"

Additional Tips:

• This design is perfect for personalising with someone's name for Christmas.
• Add Hi-Float to the 260Q's to help the balloons last longer.
• Always ensure that any helium-inflated foil balloons are safely secured to a balloon weight.
• This design could be made with alternative latex balloons to create a completely different look for the box/gift base. 

Here is another quick, easy, and festive idea! When you create a design that you really love, why not make it into a gift card that you can share with your friends, family and customers!

Here is my 2021 Christmas card, made using CANVA! It is so easy to do and gives you the opportunity to create something very special and unique! 

Happy Ballooning!
