CRAFTY CINEMA: Gnomeo & Juliet-inspired Flower Pots

From TV commercials to movie cameos, garden gnomes have become a beloved fixture in pop culture outdoor decor. And we’re excited that their popularity has come to life in the new computer animated feature, Gnomeo and Juliet. It’s your basic two-ceramic kids-from-opposite-sides-of-the-flower bed love story. Can their blooming romance overcome the thorny obstacles from their families? Hopefully so, with a little help from finger-snapping musical numbers by Elton John.
