How to make a DIY Fall Gnome

Supplies:

Felt fabrics
Matching threads
Needle
Pencil or fabric marker
Scrap felt or cotton batting
Scissors
Template

Instructions:

Download and print out the fall gnome template. Cut out all of the pattern pieces.

Select fall themed colored felt fabrics for the fall gnome plush. We’re using yellow, orange, light brown, dark brown and red for our gnome. For the beard and moustache we’re using grey, and for the nose pink felt.

Trace and cut out the patterns from the chosen felt fabrics.

Place and arrange the small maple leaf cutouts on the hat. Also, place the mustache cutout near the top part of the beard cutout.

Use needle and matching thread to attach the mustache to the beard right at the top. You should only need about 2 stitches to secure the pieces together.

Stitch the maple leaf patterns on the hat.

Place the nose on top of the mustache and make a few stitches to keep the nose in place.

Place the beard on top of the gnome’s shirt cutout.

Stitch the top edge of the beard onto the shirt.

Place the shirt with beard attached on top of the large base piece (which will be the back side of your gnome.

Sandwich the shoes between the front and back of the gnome, leaving most of the shoes hanging out the bottom of the gnome.

Stitch around the sides and bottom of the shirt, leaving the top edge open. Securing the base (backside) of the gnome to the front and attaching the shoes between the two pieces.
