I noticed this completed product on Fb weeks in the past, however did not see the blogger who created this undertaking. *If who first did this cute craft, please let me know so I can credit score them right here.*
The one “software” you may actually need is sizzling glue. Even common glue may go, however it’ll take longer to finish.
First up, you want a detergent pod container:
The model would not matter clearly, it simply must be this form. I used the 42 rely container and it was good.

Snip the material on the finish after which tear it on the grain. This eliminates little tufts of fluff flying all over the place.

There are such a lot of choices for the nostril! I lower the again off of a styrofoam ball (to make it flat) after which sizzling glued it on:
And that was simply as cute! I imply…you may’t go incorrect:

I went for a extra impartial look as a result of my hat was this beige colour, however you might make this detergent container gnome SO some ways!
