Did you know that gnomes are signs of good luck? And since we could all use a little more luck these days, we’re making easy, no-sew gnome decor for Fall using mostly supplies we found around the house.

These gnomes have gotten to be such a popular decor trend in the last few years. It’s no wonder, really, since they are so utterly adorable! We previously created a super cute and free gnome SVG file to embellish a wine bag as one example and we’ve also shared this tutorial for making a set of adorable gnome Christmas ornaments.

We even have gnome wine bottle toppers in our Etsy shop that make a really sweet gift giving idea for the holidays.
We originally made this gnome decoration on one of our Facebook Like videos so you can watch that video here or if you prefer, continue reading below.

- Wool felting
- Fabric – scrap fabric, we used 100% cotton canvas

- Decorative Flower (optional) or button
- Wooden Ball, unpainted, approx 1” diameter
How to Make an Easy No-Sew Gnome Decor
Cut a half circle shape that measures approx. 10” in length.
Then cut the circle fabric cutout to the centre of the circle.
Using a rubber stamp with ink, apply the stamp all over the half circle. This of course is completely optional but I was so excited to have a purpose for my Stamp’in Up supplies that have been collecting dust for years! Did you ever try scrabooking?
Next, take the half circle and wrap it to form a ‘cone’ shape. Glue the ends of the half circle to hold the shape which becomes the gnome’s hat. The base of the cone should measure between 2″-3″ across.
Next, take the wool felting (a medium sized ball that fits in the palm of your hand) and stuff it into the base of the hat. Add more if it doesn’t appear to be enough. Once you’re happy with the look of it, glue it in place.
And lastly, glue a wooden ball to create a nose for the gnome and if you have it, glue a little plastic flower embellishment (or button to the hat.
