This is a little Swedish traditional Christmas character who lives under the house and watches over the animals. He's pushing a wheelbarrow with his little christmas tree in it. To make him, create a 'sausage' tube of red cloth such as flannel or corduroy for the body (hot glue works well, and sewing is fine). Stuff it with polyfiber fill, or old pillow filling, cotton balls, dryer lint, shredded fabric, or even shredded paper. Make 2 smaller 'sausages' for the arms and attach to body. Glue a circle of fabric to the bottom to finish the body. For the head, cut a big circle, run a line of stitching around the edge and begin pulling the thread. Stuff the head before closing the circle all the way. Attach it to the top of the body. Now repeat this with a much smaller circle for the nose, and attach. Glue on a little more stuffing for a beard. Make another tube for a hat. Gather one end and attach a bit of fluff as a pompom. Glue the hat on his head so the edge is just above the nose. Now glue an object in his hands. There are lots of miniatures at the craft stores. A cuckoo clock, mini christmas lights, tiny baking sheet with cookies on it, are just a few ideas that come to mind. The Tomte could also just be draping his arm over the back of a reindeer. Don't forget to sign and date it on the back or bottom.
