Spring Gnomes
Here at Ruffles and Rain Boots, I absolutely adore making gnomes. Not too long ago, I was one of the very few who were sharing gnome tutorials so people could make their own. They weren’t in US stores like they are now and when I stopped traveling so much, I missed picking them up here and there.
This is a fun resource. Why not save this to your favorite DIY pin board or share it on Facebook. It will be easy to find when you need a little inspiration.

Tips to Make Your Own Spring Gnomes
Many of these are tutorials with video instruction, so if you’re a visual learner, click on through. Some of them have fun patterns to guide you, some are gnomes with arms and legs made from recyclables, and some are fun crafts you can do in a few minutes.
- Several of these DIY gnome tutorials for spring 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.
- There are SO many gnome nose ideas in these gnome tutorials. My favorite gnome 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 nylon stuffed with Poly-Fil.
- If this is your first time to make a gnome, take your time. No one is an expert right away and many of these tutorials took 2 or 3 times to get them right.
- You can make a gnome from any fabric, but if you’re on the fence, reach for fleece or felt. Both are very forgiving fabrics and if you make a mistake, you can trim it and no one will know the difference.
- Each gnome you make is unique. Do not feel constrained by these spring gnome ideas. Come up with your own variation or a new gnome (and then please come back and share them with me)!
