Materials needed for a garden gnome cosplay

Before you begin, make sure you gather the materials below:

1. A pointy red hat
2. A white or solid-colored long-sleeved shirt
3. Red or brown short pants (Bermuda shorts)
4. Black or brown shoes
5. A beard and eyebrows (fake or made with makeup)
6. Garden gnome accessories (shovel, wheelbarrow, watering can, etc.)

Step 1 – The Pointy Red Hat

The hat is the most emblematic element of the garden gnome. To make it, you can:

• Buy a red pointed hat made of fabric or felt from a costume store or online
• Create your own hat by cutting a cone out of red fabric and sewing it together to form a pointy hat.

Make sure the hat fits securely on your head by securing it with an elastic band or hair pin if necessary.

Step 2 – The shirt and pants

Choose a white or solid-colored long-sleeved shirt that will match your shorts. The pants should be red or brown and short enough to show off your legs.

You can also opt for tights or high socks in the same color as your pants for an even more authentic look.

Step 3 – Beard and eyebrows

Garden gnome cosplay wouldn't be complete without a full beard and eyebrows. You can choose to wear a fake beard and eyebrows, or draw these elements with makeup.

For a realistic beard, opt for a synthetic fiber beard wig that you can cut and adjust to the desired shape.

Step 4 – Shoes

Black or brown shoes will be ideal to complete your garden gnome costume. You can also choose rubber boots for an even more authentic touch.

Remember to clean them and make them shiny if possible.

You are now ready to put on your cosplay and set off to conquer the most beautiful gardens!
