These gnome Christmas ornaments were my first holiday craft this year and I couldn’t wait to share them with you.

If you are a regular visitor you may have seen the Christmas gnomes I created last year.

If not, you can see them all below:

Each year I try to use my creativity to come up with new and budget-friendly crafts that you can easily replicate.

My favorite thing to do on a weekend is sit at my kitchen table with my favorite music on, my Cricut set up, and my rolling craft cart beside me.

Sometimes I have a project in mind.

Most of the time, I just create with the items I have in my craft closet.

For these gnomes, I knew I wanted to make ornaments out of shower curtain hooks.

But I wasn’t sure what I was going to make.

Then I remembered the mop head I bought last year after seeing this sweet gnome ornament from Melanie at Southern Crush at Home.

Let’s get to the easy tutorial so you can make your own!

There are also printable instructions at the end of the post. Enjoy.

Start with your shower curtain rings. I bought clear, but white would work as well.

Can you believe these little guys are made from shower curtain rings?

I have plans for more ornaments with these so stay tuned for that!

You should be able to find the rope-style mop heads at Dollar Tree, but my store is always sold out.

I have a feeling it is more likely due to crafting with them and not washing floors!

What do you think? 🙂

How to Make Gnome Christmas Ornaments

Cut out 10 pieces of the mop strings. Fabric scissors work great for this.

Tie each one around the shower curtain ring using a lark’s head knot.

This is commonly used in macrame.

You basically fold the yarn piece in half and over the shower curtain ring.

Pull the tails through the loop and pull tight.

Continue adding each piece to the shower curtain ring.

Leave the top 1/4 of the ring empty as that is where the gnome hat will be.

Place your holiday sock on the gnome for placement and determine how large you want the hat to be.

I decided to cut it off right at the heel.

Be sure to save the leftovers, you can use it to make mini gnomes!

Now you want to place the sock (hat) on the gnome and fold over the bottom to give it a little rim for his cap.

Use twine to tie a knot at the end of the hat and fold it over so you can add a little pompom.

Pompoms are something I always have in my craft stash. They can be used for so many things.

Just hot glue one to the end of the hat to cover the cut portion.

A red pompom might look great too.

A little sprig of holly was hot glued just above the pompom for a fun little bit of detail.

It’s coming together…

Use a wood bead for the nose and your little Christmas gnome is complete.

Be sure to fluff out the beard and untangle the pieces.

You can also comb it out to make it even fluffier.

Wasn’t that so easy to make?

Be sure to share photos in the comment section below if you make one.
