Jafar

If you’ve ever seen Disney’s Aladdin, the resemblance probably needs no explanation. This little fellow came out looking remarkably like Jafar, and the name stuck.

He’s also a corner gnome, carved from a leftover piece of square construction lumber. The flat sides allow him to fit neatly into the corner where two walls meet, turning an otherwise awkward space into a home for a little carved character.

Made from pine and finished with paint, Jafar stands 21 inches tall and measures 7.5 inches wide. He didn’t linger long before finding a new home.

After all, corners need decorating too!
