In old Scandinavian legends gnomes are little familiar spirits, sometimes hobgoblins, which are doing good and standing by the house inhabitants. Snorre is an ancestor of former times, one of the oldest gnomes. Hang up on a wall or door he will be a guard and custodian of your house/home. A guardian of your family – especially in Christmas times – but also in hard days he stands (oh well…hang up …) by you with luck and love. And he will regard you and your guests with favor…but woe betide you if you disturb the peace at home … then run!

✭ For a wonderful seasonal Home Décor. Perfect for Christmas.
✭ Gnome Snorre is made up of 3 main parts: Pointy hat – face/body – long shaggy beard
✭ You work flat on the back side, in order that your gnome is adjacent to a wall or door.
✭ Work e.g. with jute, pure new wool and eyelash yarn for a fur effect.
✭ Protected against rain you can hang him up outside … but note: such a House Gnome like to have a snug and gregarious place … no freezing at all! ;-)
