How to Make a Festive Gnome Hoop Display with Ornaments and Lights

How to Make a Festive Gnome Hoop Display with Ornaments and LightsImagine stumbling across a hidden woodland nook where a cheerful gnome tends to his glowing tree under a sky full of ornaments and stars.

This decoration captures that same whimsical spirit.

The hoop frames the entire scene, turning it into a miniature stage where lights twinkle and imagination takes over.

Once finished, it becomes a little Christmas tale frozen in time, ready to bring delight to kids and adults alike.

Materials Needed

  • 1 wooden embroidery hoop (12”-14” diameter)
  • 15-20 small ornaments (silver, white, and glitter mix, 1”-3” size)
  • 1 small Christmas gnome figurine (6”-8” tall)
  • 1 mini bottle-brush Christmas tree (5”-6” tall, with LED lights if possible)
  • Wooden sled base or small wooden board (10”-12” long)
  • Artificial moss, pine sprigs, and faux snow
  • Paper or wooden stars (5-6 pieces, 2”–3” size)
  • Hot glue gun and glue sticks
  • String lights (battery-operated, 6-8 ft)
  • Scissors and craft wire

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Start by securing the embroidery hoop to your wooden sled or base. Then glue it firmly in place so it creates a strong frame for the scene.

Step 2: Create the ornament cluster at the top of the hoop by grouping balls of different sizes.

You can secure them with hot glue and wire, building layers for depth and shine.

Step 3: Wrap a string of fairy lights around the hoop, weaving gently between the ornaments. Then leave some extra lights trailing down to highlight the base.

Step 4: Place your gnome figure inside the hoop on the sled.

You now position it slightly off-center for a more natural look. Secure with glue if needed.

Step 5: Add the mini Christmas tree beside the gnome. If it has built-in lights, turn them on before attaching so you can check the glow.

Step 6: Cover the base with moss, pine sprigs, and a sprinkle of faux snow. This creates a woodland floor effect and ties everything together.

Step 7: Finally, glue paper or wooden stars along the side of the hoop. Angle them so they look as if they’re drifting across the night sky.

Tip:

You can swap the gnome for a Santa figurine or woodland deer to create variations of the same idea. Each one tells a different little Christmas story.
