Tonttu, The Finnish Elfish Gnome
Updated March 24, 2020 
"Tonttu is a small creature from Finnish mythology. He lives in and protects the home. It is very important to treat him will respect otherwise he may become mischievous. Occasionally he can be found in the forest. Perhaps he has been treated poorly and is looking for a new home to look after – maybe yours! Some cultures may call him a gnome or tomte. I just call this elf-like creature cute. This tonttu is easy and quick to make. His spirit is ready to inhabit your home."
