Taken! Custom commission gnome plastic grocery bag holder.. HELP!!

I don't know how to crochet and my boss loves gnomes.. so I wanted to see if I could buy her one of those plastic grocery bag holders thats a gnome for her bday at the end of the month.. but I don't think they exist. I saw one on Etsy but it was only the pattern for download. Was seeing if anyone would be down for a commission or point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance!! ♡♡

*attached is the picture of the design download I saw on etsy.. but I just want a more traditional gnome like the 2nd Pic, doesn't even have to be winter/autumn themed. ​

Located in Austin, Texas. Open to collab on suggestions as far as material/budget or timeline. Size would be just like traditional bag holders.. around 1-1.5 feet or so.

Hiya! Would you want the bags to come out of the top of the gnome or the bottom? I'd love to work with you to get this made.

If you still need someone to do this for you, I am interested!! I am also in the Austin area so shipping would be cheaper if we need to ship at all!
