5-Minute Holiday Gnomes You’ll Love to Make! 🎅

Looking for a quick and magical holiday craft? These adorable yarn gnomes are the perfect DIY project — no sewing, no needle, no fuss! In just a few minutes, you can create your own little gnome family to decorate your home or gift to someone special. Each one carries a sprinkle of holiday cheer and cozy handmade charm.

This project is as easy as it is delightful — all you need are a few basic materials and a cheerful spirit.

🧵 Materials You’ll Need:

* Cardboard toilet paper roll

* Yarn (two colors — one for the hat and one for the beard)

* Wooden bead for the nose

* Small piece of cardboard

* Christmas decorations or little accessories (optional)

* Hot glue gun

* Scissors

✨ Step-by-Step Instructions

**1. Make the Hat**

Cut your toilet paper roll into a smaller ring — this will form the base of your gnome’s hat. Wrap yarn tightly around the ring, looping it until the cardboard is completely covered. Tie off the top to form a cute pom-pom or tassel.

 **2. Create the Beard**

Wrap your white (or cream) yarn around your fingers several times, then slide it off and tie it in the middle. Cut the loops on both ends to make a fluffy beard. Trim the ends until you get that perfect round, fuzzy shape.

 **3. Assemble the Gnome**

Glue the beard to the bottom edge of your yarn hat. Then, glue a small **wooden bead** right above the beard to form the nose. If you’d like, tuck in tiny decorations like holly berries, pine sprigs, or a mini snowflake.

**4. Add Finishing Touches**

Fluff the beard, trim any uneven bits, and give your gnome a name — because every gnome deserves a bit of personality!
