Macrame Gnomes
This tutorial was created by Emma from the Instagram account @emmashandcraft, and it teaches you how to easily make a bunch of cute little gnomes for Christmas. The yarn used is EKO Macrame Single Twisted 4mm, and in addition to that, you’ll need a few other materials that can be found in a regular craft store:
- Scissors
- 40mm wooden ring (available from MYO)
- 20mm wooden bead
- Comb
- Hot glue gun or another strong adhesive
- A piece of cardboard (for example, from the yarn label)
This is what you need:
Here you can directly purchase the material for the product. Please note that the instruction is digital and appears here on the page (no written instruction).
Here's how to do it
Before you begin: You can use different sizes of wooden rings, so adjust the number of yarn strands and the length of the cardboard piece to make the hat according to your preference.
Beard
Start by cutting 12 pieces of white yarn, each about 35 cm long. Tie the white yarn pieces around the wooden ring. Then comb out the yarn and trim it to your desired length and shape. A helpful tip is to use a piece of paper cut to your preferred shape and length as a guide to achieve an even result.
Hat
Start by cutting 24 pieces of green yarn, each about 35 cm long. Then cut a piece of cardboard measuring approximately 18 x 2 cm. Glue the ends together to form a loose ring that fits around the wooden ring. Next, tie all the green yarn pieces around the cardboard ring.
Take a piece of green yarn and tie it around the yarn strands to shape the hat. Then trim the yarn to your desired length. Finally, glue the hat onto the wooden ring, positioning it just above the beard. Make sure there is no gap between the beard and the hat.
Glue a wooden bead in the center of the white beard to form the nose.
Now your little gnome is complete!
