About this Product
This item is a unique and charming Easter-themed decorative piece, featuring a gnome that has been crafted from a repurposed bottle. The gnome has been lovingly hand-painted with acrylic paint and given a whimsical, playful appearance with a polka-dotted cap, purple bunny ears, green bow, hair, nose, and a little Easter egg. The gnome stands at approximately 16 inches tall and has a circumference of 10 inches, making it a great size for a table centerpiece or mantel display.
The gnome's design and color scheme make it an ideal addition to your Easter or Spring decor, but its playful and endearing appearance means it could be displayed all year round. This item would also make a thoughtful and unique gift for someone who appreciates handcrafted and one-of-a-kind decor. Please note that this gnome is intended for indoor use only.

Meet the Maker
Greetings! My name is Candis and my wonderful husband and I are the makers of our items in Crafts By Candis. A couple of years ago, I started making crafts with wine bottles. The first one was just a paint it, hang a Christmas sled on it, add a topper and voila - done! Then it progressed into making other kinds of decorative Christmas bottles and then beach themed bottles. In addition to giving new life to empty bottles, we now make our own wooden sleds to adorn the bottles with and laser engraved coasters. Coming soon will be laser engraved wooden clocks and whimsical wooden flip flops.
A little about us ~ For the past few years we have been empty nesters and we currently full time in our RV. We have 2 sons and one grandson! It's minimal living and gives us so much time to visit family, enjoy the outdoors, go golfing, watch lots of sports and make our crafts together. Just recently we became the proud parents of 10 acres of Nature Paradise - raw land! So eventually we will be back in a house that we are building ourselves. Lots of work but it's so rewarding!
I come from a Sales & Marketing background and have dabbled in some different markets - first with hotels, then RV's and lastly self storage properties. I have recently found my dream job (working where my husband works) as an administrative assistant - absolutely love the job, the company and the co-workers, not to mention the additional time I get to spend with the hubs.
We hope that you find something that you like and makes you smile - be it for yourself or a gift for someone else. Thank you for taking a peek at what we have made with love!
How it’s Made
I took a large empty bottle and painted it with purple acrylic paint (see the back). I added a fuzzy polka dotted topper and lace bow - the lace was originally white and I painted it with green acrylic paint. The bunny ears are cardboard, with fabric covering them and cotton on the edges. Added the little wooden nose, arms, flowers and egg by using glue. The beard is craft rope unraveled and separated. Be sure to check out the cotton tail on the back of the gnome bunny!
