Trim the triangles and turn the body right-sides out. Fill body with 1. Stuff to where you can tie off the top at least one inch securely with thick embroidery thread or twine. Do not use only a rubber band if you decide to use one; reinforce with string so they do not snap and undo all of your hard work.
Cut fur beard or stab wool locks into the body of the gnome just under the brim of where the hat rests. Glue on beard, split the fur, and glue on a wood round or bead for the nose. Secure the hat onto the top of the nose and around the entire outside brim of the hat, taking care not to get glue into the fur or wool locks. Decorate and display your gnome!

Use a blanket stitch to sew the two felt hat pieces together leaving the entire bottom open this is where the head will go Stuff poly-fil into the opening and then place it on the body making sure to align it just above the nose. Finish off the hat by sewing across the bottom edge but now go through all the pieces to attach the hat to the gnome body.
Finish off. You can leave the cute felt gnome like this or turn it into a DIY gnome ornament by adding ribbon to it. Use a hot glue gun to place a loop of ribbon on the back of felt gnome's hat near the top. That's it! Put the cute DIY felt gnome ornament on your tree, use as a gift tag, or give it as a gift or party favor. Notes See post for the free printable gnome pattern. Look how cute that long beard looks already! Hand or machine sew long gathering stitches around the oval of fabric cut for the nose — use strong thread!
Place a large dab of hot glue on the back of the nose and attach it below the top edge of the beard. With the seam of the hat in the back, gently place the front inside edge of the hat over the nose. Use the beard template to cut a piece of faux fur as already indicated. Use small clear hair elastics to bunch the fur together about halfway down each piece. Hot glue each bow on top of one of the elastics. If you want a perfectly round nose, you can use a felted wool ball instead of sewing the nose yourself.
Just apply some hot glue to the nose and attach it where you would like. Dog Slicker optional. Notes: I prefer getting my felt sheets at Hobby Lobby. You can also buy felt by the yard.
It is pricey but you only need about 3 inches. You can also buy it by the sheet on Amazon. It brushes out the excess fur that is no longer attached to the backing and smooths out the fur so it has a nice clean look. Totally optional, of course, but I am a fan. It makes for way less fluff to clean up after working with a messy fabric. I purchased the felted balls I used for the noses from this Etsy seller.
I also purchased some of her 2. Get holiday ready with this adorable and easy Crochet Gnome Christmas Tree Ornament Free Pattern that has two different versions to make. Version 1 uses faux fur yarn for the beard of the gnome and Version 2 uses a faux fur pom pom. Both versions are quick, easy and accessible for beginners.
