How to Make a No Sew Sock Gnome

If you don’t want to sew or are new to sewing, making a sock gnome is the perfect project for you! This sock gnome is a no sew craft and you can easily decorate it with ribbons, buttons and other embellishments.

Step 1: Choose Your Pattern

There are a lot of different ways to create a sock gnome, so you will need to decide what kind of hat you want to make your gnome wear. Some options include a specialty hat (like a Viking helmet or chef’s hat), a slouchy hat, a hat that stands up or a curly hat!

Depending on what kind of hat you want to make, you will need to decide how much batting or stuffing you would like to use. This is optional, but it does make your hat more floppy or a bit heavier and helps to give it a more realistic look.

Step 2: Using your hot glue gun, secure the edges of the sock to the top of the cone. You may need to stretch the sock out over the cone before gluing it down so that it doesn’t show up on the hat or nose.

Once the sock is secured, you can start to fill it with your rice! Add a little bit of rice at a time, just enough to get the body up to your desired size. When you’ve added enough, you can tie the top of the sock off with a rubber band.

You can also use a small amount of polyfill to fill the sock. You can add beads or other embellishments to your sock gnome for extra detail!

Step 3: Create the Nose

To make a nose for your sock gnome, cut out a small circle of thin white fabric. Then, take some string and pull it through the center of the fabric to create a sort of bowl-like shape. You can add cotton stuffing or other material inside the bowl. You can also use a button for the nose.

Tip: You can make the nose a little bigger by shaping it with your fingers. You can also make it more cartoonish by adding some fur or yarn for a beard and a little moss or grass for the gnome’s eyes.

To finish off your gnome, you can tie a bell or other hat on him to make him more festive! You can also spray paint the gnome to add color or design. You can also use a fabric pen to write your own message on the hat.
