Gnome Christmas Tree Topper
In this post, I share a DIY Gnome Door Hanger & Gnome Christmas Tree Topper! This Gnome Tree Topper also doubles as a Gnome Door Hanger for Christmas! I was inspired to make a no-sew gnome using a Dollar Tree witch hat wreath form and other Dollar Store supplies. Gnome door decoration and gnome Christmas Tree DIY ideas are very popular this year and I know you are going to love this simple tutorial sharing how to make a gnome. Keep reading and watch the video below to learn how to make this Christmas gnome for the holidays!
Be sure to check out my popular DIY Dollar Tree gnomes made using a sock here! I used a CRICUT machine to cut the Star with text for the gnome’s hat in this DIY but if you don’t have a cutting machine, you can cut a similar star by hand or skip that step.
Almost everything you need to make this pumpkin wreath can be found at Dollar Tree.

DIY Gnome Door Hanger or Gnome Christmas Tree Topper
Supplies:
- Glue Gun
- Wire Cutters
- Wire Witch Hat Form (Alternatively, use a wire Christmas Tree Door Hanger Decoration)
- Craft Fur
- Scrap Fabric
- Large Wooden Ball/Bead
- Cricut Machine (optional, can cut by hand without one)
Directions:
- Gather Supplies. Watch the video below for more instructions and pictures.
- Carefully use the wire cutters to remove the sides of the witch hat.
- Use a piece of craft fur to create a beard for your gnome and place it on top of the wire form.
- Clip access wire sticking out if needed.
- Use a glue gun to attach the fur to the wire form.
- Take a piece of scrap fabric (I used red buffalo plaid flannel for Christmas) and wrap around the head of the wire form.
- Clip access wire sticking out if needed (I wanted my hat to be droopy but you can keep the point if you prefer a pointy, traditional gnome hat).
- Use a glue gun to attach the fabric and glue the ends to create a point in the hat.
- Glue the wooden bead to the beard and under the hat.
- Carefully bend the hat slightly to create a curve in the head (so it looks 3-D).
- If desired, use a cutting machine (like Cricut) to cute a piece of white felt in a star shape. Then cut HTV to spell Merry Christmas.
- I used my Cricut Mini Easy Press to attach the HTV to the felt star, then I used my glue gun to attach the felt star to the Gnome hat.
- Hang and enjoy!
