Though most people find them to be particularly terrifying, there are those who will be able to appreciate the cuteness of the Lil Gnome post earrings.

Instead of looking out over your plants in the garden, they are taking in the scenery from your ears. These button-sized studs look exactly like the stereotypical garden gnome with the blue tunic and pointy red hat accompanying it. He wears a candid smile on his face, poking out from a rather lengthy white beard.

The Lil Gnome post earrings are made by [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dropshop) shop owner Katie. The images were hand-drawn onto clear plastic and then sealed. A metal butterfly clip holds the cheerful characters in place on your ears. It is advised that they are taken out before showering.
