After the Christmas trees come down and the lights get put away, the house can feel kinda bare. It’s too early for all the spring colors to come out, so I like to keep winter decor up. This cute ol’ rustic gnome painted on wood is one of my favorites to set by my mantel each year, and I want to show you how simple he was to paint.

A Paint-By-Line Christmas Gnome Tutorial
I absolutely love gnomes in holiday decor. There is something so jolly and sweet about these guys with their hats pulled low. You can find gnomes in all shapes and sizes and for every holiday. It is so much fun to learn how to make a Christmas gnome of your own though. Doing your own lets you customize it to fit your own color scheme and decor style.
I show you how to paint this little guy but I don’t add any embellishments. There are so many things that you could add to your gnome once it is painted that will add another layer of cuteness and fun. You can add text such as “ho ho ho” or “Merry Christmas”. Or you could paint on some cute snowflakes or Christmas lights. You could even cover his hat or boots in glitter to make him even more festive!
After you have painted your gnome there are a few different things that you can do with him. These make a perfect attachment to any custom wreath. All you have to do is add pipe cleaners to the back of your gnome and attach them to your wreath frame. A deco mesh wreath would be a perfect match for this happy fella. He would also look great on a grapevine or evergreen wreath base.
Bonus Tutorial…
If you watch the video to the end you will see that I also paint an adorable Halloween gnome! Instead of wearing Christmas attire, this little guy has a fun Halloween hat and buckle. I give you all the paint details in the video, but you can dress him up however you’d like. Halloween colors are classic so you can’t go wrong here!
This little Christmas gnome is so fun to paint! Remember that the lines are all there on the wood to make the painting simple for you. Use your favorite paints and brushes to make it your own. My favorite brushes are Royal & Langnickel, but whatever brand is best for you will work great! Happy painting you guys!

Materials Mentioned
- Wood Sign or Scrap Wood
- Deco Art Paint in White, Black, Gray, Yellow Ocher, Coral, Mississippi Mud
- Snow-Tex
- 1″ Flat Brush
- Chalk
First, I sketched a simple gnome on the wood with chalk to see the lines up against the warm brown.
I like gnomes like this one because they are pretty simple to sketch. Start with a big stocking hat. You can make it bend or stand straight up. Add a brim and a pom on the end if you want.
Then, sketch the long beard. Attach it all the way up to the hat and down till it just grazes the ground.
Peaking from behind the beard, give him some dome-shaped feet and the little bit of leg that may be visible.
And finally, you get to decide if he will have a round button nose or something a little more distinguished. Sketch the nose just tucked up under the brim of the hat.
So cute! And you can make these little guys any shape and size you could imagine.
Paint the Gnome
Now it’s time for painting. You can use any color you like. I painted mine wearing a red hat with a fluffy white brim. This guy has a big ol’ nose peeking over his long salt and pepper beard.
Use a 1″ flat brush to hold enough paint to fill in the large portions. I use a tiny touch of black to change the shade of red for some shading.
On the white brim, I use some SnowTex for texture. I love the way it looks!
Snowtex is a painting medium that has a thick puffy texture to resemble snow with a 3D effect.
I scoop some out onto my palette and use a little bit of white paint or water to help it spread and stipple onto the painting surface.
Paint the black dome feet, soft peachy pink nose, and a gray beard.
I like to use a bit of yellow ocher to my whites for an aged look.
Adding a little darkness by blending in a pinch of black paint under his nose and hat gives depth to the painting too.
You can see in the video below how I create shadows and highlights to transform the rustic gnome painted on wood.
I painted my gnomes beard so long that you don’t even see his pants!
It’s really hard to make a permanent mistake when acrylic painting. Just let it dry and you can go back over and change what you want once it’s dry.
