What you need: 

  • Empty and rinsed soda, water, condiment, salad dressing, soap or liquor bottle that has a wider bottom and narrows at top 

  • Festive socks or ‘single laundry socks’ 

  • Toilet tissue or Cotton balls 

  • Rubber bands 

  • Faux fur 

  • Caps from repurposed bottles 

  • Kid-friendly glue gun or double-stick tape 

  • Optional: Ornamentation for hat 

 

 

How to Make Them:  

  • HAT:  

    • Determine which sock will cover bottle by pulling it down to point where it will overlap beard.  

    • Beard size is optional 

    • Remove sock and turn it inside out 

    • Stuff top of sock with tissue paper or cotton balls to form a ‘Pom Pom’. Size is up to you! 

    • Use a rubber band to tie ‘Pom Pom’ 

  • FACE:  

    • Beard:  

      • Cut a piece of faux fur big enough to wrap around base of bottle 

      • Attach with glue gun or double stick tape. 

    • Nose:  

      • Pick a ‘cap’ and glue on top of beard. 

    • Hat:  

      • Place hat over bottle 

      • Pull down to cover no more then half of nose 

  • Optional: Decorate hat with ornamentation

Collecting presents adds another layer to the experience. Rather than simply traveling as far as possible, players can look for opportunities to collect rewards while still keeping their rider safe. Snow Rider

I absolutely love this gnome DIY idea! I made some last year, and they became a hit at our holiday gatherings. They remind me of the quirky charm of my egg car — both add a fun, whimsical touch to our celebrations! 🎉

As slope game starts, players have a few seconds to learn the mechanics and know the pace of the ball rolling.
