Tips to Make Gnome Mushrooms
- Take a second to snag the Wild Gnome Pattern here for the details on making this mushroom gnome. Psst: there are SIX more gnome variations included in this same pattern set!
- Included in the same pattern there is a pine cone gnome, a flower pot gnome, a succulent gnome (kind of my favorite), a butterfly gnome, and a moss hat gnome in addition to this mushroom cap gnome.
- If beards are your least favorite part of making a gonk, don’t let that be your bane! It’s super simple to cut faux fur to get a flowy beard– and not leave it all blocky and squared off. Just flip over the fur, exposing the fabric backing and use a craft knife to cut through just the fabric. Check out this quick and how to cut a gnome beard video tutorial.

Mushroom Gnome Pattern
Just a cute and fun mushroom gnome pattern that's perfectly sized to fit in a tiered tray. You can make this gonk so fast, it's crazy!
Materials
- 1/8 yard Fleece Fabric, White
- 1/8 yard Red Woven Cotton Fabric (I used scraps)
- Grey Frosted Mongolian Faux Fur
- Poly Fill
- 1/2 cup Poly-Beads
- 1 or 1 1/2-inch Wood Round (or other nose)
- Red Embroidery Thread
- White Thread
Tools
- Hot Glue Gun & Glue
- Scissors
- Razor Blade or Craft Knife
- Funnel
- Pencil or Fabric Marker, optional
- Darning Needle
- Sewing Machine
- Sewing Needle
- Sewing Pins
Instructions
- Cut the body shape from the fleece fabric and fold it in half right-side to right-side. Pin the two tabs together and sew the tabs together, taking care to go back and forth to keep the seam from unraveling.
- Alight two of the three curved bumps on the top of the gnome and pin together ONE SIDE of the two aligned curved bumps together, then sew the two bumps together from the topmost point to the base only on 1/2 of the bump.
- Pin and sew the base onto the bottom of the body shape.
- Turn the body right side out and fill about halfway full with Poly Beads, stuffing the remaining portion of the body with Poly Fill. Hand stitch the top closed by pinching the open bumps together, closing the gnome's body.
- To make the hat, cut one mushroom cap top hat shape from the red woven cotton fabric and fold it in half, right-side to right-side. Pin and sew the flat edge of the two halves together.
- Cut one mushroom cap bottom hat shape from the fleece fabric. Open the mushroom cap TOP hat shape and pin the top hat shape to the bottom hat shape around the outer edge, right-side to right-side. Sew the two pieces together around the outer edge. Using the hole in the center of the mushroom cap bottom, turn the hat right-side out.
- Fill the edges of the hat with a little Poly Fill - just enough to help hold the round mushroom hat shape up.
- Thread your darning needle with the embroidery thread and add gills by hand sewing lines into the center of the cap out to the edges all the way around the mushroom. Alternatively, you can draw gills on with the fine-tipped marker.
- Place your faux fur face down and, using your razor blade or craft knife, cut the fabric backing only into the shape you want for the beard. Hot glue the beard onto the front of the gnome. Allow the hot glue to cool completely.
- Part the beard fur to the fabric about 1/2 inch below the top of the beard. Add a fair amount of hot glue then place the nose on top. Allow the hot glue to cool completely.
- Place the mushroom hat on top of the gnome's head, tucking it down just above the top of the nose. Hot glue the hat in place in the back and sides, then one little dot above the nose. If you plan to add arms do so now.
- Cut 5-6 randomly sized oblong shapes from the white fleece and randomly hot glue them to the top of the mushroom cap, then get ready to display your completed mushroom gnome!
