Additional information for GNOME specifically. please not pictures for assembly of of 1/4 inch- 15 inch wood round. Layout pieces to form the round and use the two half circle pieces to brace the back. These get glued to the round. The smaller circle gets glued to the center of the back of the round. Please reference picture in the listing. Once the round is assembled and glued together, you can turn it over and paint the front and back. Lay out all of your interchangeable pieces and paint. Glue together. Use velcro (see picture in listing) to attach the interchangeable pieces to the gnome. IF YOU THINK YOU MAY WANT TO BUY THE INTERCHANGABLE HATS LATER ON - DO NOT GLUE THE HAT ONTO THE SIGN, USE VELCO INSTEAD!! Then glue with hot glue, E6000 or use a staple gun with short staples to staple the twine on the back for hanging. (not included) I also suggest command strips on the back if hanging on your door so that it doesn’t bang around when opening and closing the door. Any question, please reach out. I’d be happy to help you!!
