Use the scissors to cut the grey crew sock right above the heel. Discard the upper part of the sock.
Fit the grey sock over the fatter bottom end of the cone, center the crease or “toe line” in the center of the bottom of the cone, pull up, then hot glue around the inside of the sock where you made the cut in step one, then glue to the cone.
Cut a 5x2.5 inch strip of the faux fur, then make small cuts on the bottom towards the center, leaving about 1 inch in the center.
Apply hot glue to the back of the faux fur, and glue it on top of the grey sock. This will become the gnome beard.
Use the scissors to cut the Christmas sock right above the heel. Discard the lower heel and toe part of the sock.
Fit the sock over the top of the cone, overlapping the grey sock by a bit, then apply hot glue to the inside of the Christmas sock, and glue it onto the grey sock. Flip the cone to the back, and cut a slit down the sock, then make small diagonal cuts on each side.
Use hot glue to bond it back together, shaping it to a cone.
Apply hot glue to the wooden ball, and attach to the center of the beard, about ¼ inch below the Christmas sock line.
