I seriously love how fun it was to make this easy seasonal gnome sign. The storage is everything--I'll never lose the gnome magnets and I can always add more!

Prep Time 5 minutes
Active Time 20 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Difficulty Easy
Estimated Cost $10

Materials

  • 1 Long Rectangle Tobacco Basket
  • 1 Long Rectangle Wood Art (mine had a raised frame and hangers on the back)
  • Printable Magnet Sheets
  • Gold Paint (optional)
  • White Chalk Paint
  • 15 Metal Washers
  • 2 Pieces Floral Wire
  • Faux Flowers (if desired)
  • Print and Cut (PNG) Gnome Files (links above)

Tools

  • Super Glue
  • Desktop Printer
  • Cricut Maker
  • Paintbrush

Instructions

  1. Paint your wood rectangle white and, because mine had a raised frame, I painted it gold. Allow the paint to dry completely.
  2. Download the PNG files for the gnomes you want to put on your sign, then upload them to Cricut Design Space. Follow the prompts for a complex design, then load the magnetic sheet and cut them out. In the event that the Cricut cuts through any of the gnomes in a way that you're not super excited about, you can super glue the pieces back together.
  3. Super glue washers in a straight line on the front side of the wood rectangle, where you want the gnomes to sit. And glue washers randomly on the back to store the gnomes not in use.
  4. If you want to add faux flowers for a gnome set that's not 5 pieces, you can simply cut a piece of scrap magnet sheet to the same size as the washer you want to cover and then super glue faux flowers to the front of the scrap magnet piece.
  5. Thread the floral wire through the hangers on the back of the wood rectangle then through the tobacco basket. Wind the floral wire tightly on the back side. Then hang your gnomes on the wall! how to make a seasonal gnome sign
