GNOME – EGG COZY

Get these cute gnomes for your breakfast table!

When the gnomes aren‘t busy in protecting your boiled eggs there‘s still no need to put them away since they make some very cute decoration on the table. :)

You could also make a whole bunch of them and use them as advent calendar for big chocolate eggs.
