Macrame Gnome Ornament DIY Tutorial (3 Different Ways!)

Published 2023-11-10

Learn how to make 3 different kinds of DIY macrame gnome Christmas ornaments in this free step by step tutorial!

I'll show you how to make boy and girl gnomes with a beard or braids, and we'll do 3 different varieties: wooden ring macrame gnomes, tassel macrame gnomes, and roving gnomes.

I'll also show you the pattern for the hat that I used for each macrame gnome ornament, plus how to add a mustache if you want! You can make a Macrame gnome Santa, macrame gnome with braids, or whatever you want.

This project is super simple, and a great way to use up scrap macrame cord. The only knots you need to know are the lark's head knot and the overhand knot.

👉 See the written tutorial here: www.marchingnorth.com/diy-macrame-gnome-ornaments

For the hats:
▶︎ Empty toilet paper rolls
▶︎ Assorted yarn, string, cord, etc.

For the wooden ring gnome pattern:
▶︎ 6 pieces of scrap macrame cord in about 10" lengths (I recommend using 3, 4 or 5 mm for this)
▶︎ 3/4″ wood bead or wood ball
▶︎ 2" wooden ring
▶︎ decorative twine, butchers twine or jute

For the tassel gnome tutorial:
▶︎ 10″ long pieces of scrap cotton macrame string (enough to make a 1″ thick tassel)
▶︎ decorative twine, butchers twine or jute

For the roving gnome pattern:
▶︎ 3/4″ wood bead or wood ball
▶︎ 10 to 12 inch strips of wool roving - color depends on if you want white beards, brown, or whatever color you like! I did white, brown and gray.
▶︎ decorative twine, butchers twine or jute

Reasearching for written material about macrame I found your great PDF. From your PDF I visited your channel and it was a great emotion to find this wonderful video. The first thing I made when I learned macrame (last December) was this Gnome as Santa Claus in a workshop as part of psycological treatment. Now I´m helping the psychologist during the workshops and the pdf is another didatic resource I want to try to introduce to the participants of the workshop. Even considering that nobody can understand English, I´m sure they will understand the photos. They are very clear, very didatics. Thanks from the deepest of my heart.
