Gnome Ornaments
Here at Ruffles and Rain Boots, we have, erhm, a little obsession with the making of gnomes, tomte, nisse, gonk, whatever you want to call them–it doesn’t matter. I just love making them and I come up with all sorts of fun excuses to make a quick gnome DIY. And I get inspired by the silliest things-just the idea of breaking out my hot glue gun or sewing machine, I get excited.

Tips to MAKE Gnome Ornaments
- Ok. So, a lot of the DIY gnome ornament tutorials here call for craft fur or Mongolian fur, which, if you’ve never had success cutting it, can be quite intimidating. But it doesn’t have to be. Check out this quick video I made of how to make a gnome beard with faux fur.
- So many gnome nose ideas in these gnome tutorials! My favorite tomte nose is definitely polymer clay because I have more control over how big and what color it is. But I also love these wood beads and a random craft bead, sometimes a pony bead–anything round and about the right size.
- If you want to make a rustic Christmas tree, the perfect farmhouse ornaments have got to be the gnomes that are made of the more natural materials. But if you’re going for more of the modern farmhouse feel, then the best farmhouse Christmas decor ideas will be the fun pom pom topped red cap gnomes with buffalo check and or little pops of colors for your tree toppers.
- Whichever way you decide to decorate your living room for a stunning Christmas eve or winter solstice celebration, these gnomes are perfect for adding a little whimsy, even if you don’t have a Christmas tree. Hang a gnome ornament on on a galvanized bucket, line your staircase with gnomes or set one on a mason jar. It doesn’t have to be on a tree.
