There’s no shortage of gnome crafts to decorate your home this season. But this gnome jar is one of the most unique projects that adds a fun touch to your decor. Plus, it’s easy to make and will look adorable with your favorite cookies or candy inside!
This fun gnome craft is perfect for kids and adults alike. Using a simple jar and some inexpensive supplies, you can create an adorable decoration that looks like it came from the store.
You’ll need a clear glass jar, a piece of felt for the body, a jumbo chenille stem for the beard and a wood ball for the nose. First, take the lid off the jar and cut a piece of foam to fit inside it. Then place the foam in the jar up to just below the rim. This will help the gnome stand up. Then you can begin making the body. You can either use a sock or a pillow case. Socks tend to be a little stiffer than pillows but will still work well. If you choose to use a sock, start with a white or light colored one so the red lining will show through for the face. Then stuff it with poly fiberfill and hot glue in place. You’ll also need a yarn beard. This can be made from a sock or from a piece of blanket yarn. Just wrap it around the sock and glue it in place. Then you can make the hat from a piece of faux fur. You’ll want to measure your jar on the back of the fur and cut the beard to size. You can also pin the hat pattern to the a piece of felt and cut it out instead.
Another great gnome craft for the holidays is this pinecone gnome ornament that uses a natural element as the body. This project is similar to a traditional gnome ornament but uses a pinecone instead of an egg. It’s a fun way to deck out your holiday tree or give them as gifts to friends and family.
This fun craft is an excellent way to use up some scrap fabric and a few other items you may have on hand. It’s a quick and easy project that can be done in less than an hour and it’s a great way to show off some of your creative flair.
This cute gnome is the perfect addition to any table or counter top. It will look especially good with a pot of coffee or some baked treats. It would also be a great gift idea for your favorite gnome lover!
