❤️ Final Notes
Your finished gnomes should look exactly like the photographed pair — matching contours, colors, trims, braids, scallops, and accessories. The boy must read rugged and pine-toned, while the girl looks warm and berry-soft, with tiny floral touches on her collar and bows.
Display them together near candles, ornaments, or a winter wreath — and they immediately become the cozy centerpiece of the entire room.
