- This tomte tutorial is so simple, it’s almost too easy. The only thing which is critical is the placement of the beard and nose… That’s it.
- Rather than hitting my craft store this time, I popped over to the home improvement store and grabbed a single 2×4. You could make this with a thinner wood, but the 2×4 really gives it a nice base to stand on.
- To make the noses, you could use wood beads. I didn’t have the right size, so I used polymer clay to hot glue to the wood. But wood beads like these would look great.
- When you’re cutting the wood for these DIY Christmas gnomes, you should measure from the middle of the wood. Otherwise, your hat will be off-center and the whole gnome will be off-kilter.
- Decorating with Scandinavian gnomes is really easy. Just place your Scandinavian Christmas gnomes on your mantle or on a bookshelf with your other Christmas decorations. They add a touch of whimsy.
- You can paint your gnome hats whatever color you want. I was going for a more farmhouse style with a distressed look and muted colors. But if you want a red cap on each one, do it. They’re your gnomes – make them how you want.

I’m so glad you asked. Below is our written tutorial. Because you all loved this one so much, I made a painted wood block gnomes video tutorial here. Keep this page open and follow along. If you have any questions, leave them in the comments.
First, start by making the gnome noses. To do this, take a small portion of light brown clay (one-half section of a clay pack) and a little larger portion of white clay (one full section of a clay pack) and work them together until combined completely.
Break this ball into three varying-sized neat balls rolled smooth. The sizes are what you want the noses of the gnomes to be based on the measurements of wood. My largest nose was one inch and went down slightly from there.
Bake the noses per the directions on your clay’s package and allow to cool completely.
Cut the 2×4 into one 8-inch long section, one 12-inch long section, and finally a 16 inch section. Save the remainder to use on another project.
Mark the center of each of your blocks of wood. Cut a 15-degree angle from the center of the wood all the way to the edge, flip and repeat. I found this easiest to do with my chop-saw, but this can be done with a hand saw, skill saw, or jig saw, as well.
Sand all faces and edges of each of the three triangle blocks.
Paint the bottom 1/3 one color on each block (taping edge is optional but recommended). Allow to dry.
Paint the top 1/3 a contrasting color on each block (taping edge is optional). Allow to dry.
Lightly sand all painted surfaces if a distressed look is desired.
Add a very light dry-brush coat of light grey wood stain to both painted surfaces of each block, staying clear of the center 1/3 section that is unpainted. Using the paper towel, remove as much excess stain as you can. Allow stain to dry completely.
Lightly sand all surfaces again.
Using the craft knife, cut a triangle of Mongolian fur wide enough to cover the front of each block. Only cut on the back side of the fur (the fabric backing).
Cut 9 small rectangles of Mongolian fur (1/2 inch wide by 1/4 inch high). Brush the fur on 6 of them to one side to make eyebrows (3 in one direction, 3 in the other). For the remaining 3 pieces, split the fur and brush to each side from the center to form a mustache.
Hot glue the beards onto the front side of each gnome. Affix the mustaches to the top center of the beard and the eyebrows to each gnome’s face.
Hot glue a nose to the top of each gnome’s mustache.
