Outdoor Gnome DIY . I need help. Slightly updated

I want to create a DIY outdoor gnome for my garden, something that will hold up for a bit through the weather. HMMMMM. And he or she should be a #CoastalBohemian or maybe a peaceful gnome who has seen the errors of his/her old ways.

Potentially , I can buy a sitting Buddha and add a gnome hat and beard. Is that defacing Buddah? Or maybe forget the DIY and just buy this puppy. But where is the DIY challenge right. Ok, forget buying Buddah gnome. I mean I could write a post "forget the DIY buy the Gnome" Nah , we have to drill down on the creativity. 

Here is what I have so far.

1 Glass pickle jar

1 auto funnel from the Dollar Tree. 

I have to tell, you that I'm seriously thinking cement here. Time for some research about cementing over glass, as in my pickle jar.

Now look what I have done.

I used caulk along the rim of the jar to attache the gnome hat/auto funnel 

Then I wrapped the funnel in twine using hot glue and E6000

Taking ideas. Help.

With love and gratitude,

Michele
