How to Make Minimalist Santa Gnome Ornaments

How to Make Minimalist Santa Gnome OrnamentsClean lines, simple colors, and rustic textures, these Santa gnome ornaments capture the charm of Scandinavian holiday décor.

Each one is just a small triangle of wood turned into something magical with red, white, and a tiny wooden bead nose.

They’re proof that sometimes less is more.

Also, hang them on a natural tree, pair them with straw stars and paper snowflakes, and you’ll have a Christmas look that feels straight out of a Nordic cabin.

Materials Needed

  • Wooden triangle blocks (3-4 inches tall, 2–2.5 inches wide at base, 0.5 inches thick) – 5-6 pieces
  • Small wooden half-beads (0.5 inch diameter) for noses – 1 per ornament
  • Acrylic paint (red for hat, white for beard, optional beige for face)
  • Paintbrushes (1 medium flat brush, 1 small detail brush)
  • Hot glue gun or strong wood glue
  • Jute twine (10-12 inches per ornament)
  • Hand drill or small screw eye hooks
  • Sandpaper (fine grit)

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Cut or buy pre-made wooden triangle blocks. Then sand the edges lightly so they’re smooth to handle.

Step 2: Paint the top third of each triangle with red acrylic paint for the Santa hat. Let it dry completely.

Step 3: Paint a white triangle underneath the hat, filling the lower section to look like a beard.

You should leave a small space in the middle for the nose area.

Step 4: Glue a wooden half-bead right in the center where the hat and beard meet. This becomes Santa’s nose.

Step 5: Drill a tiny hole at the top of the triangle or screw in a small eye hook.

Next, thread a piece of jute twine through and tie a knot to create a loop for hanging.

Step 6: Repeat for all your gnome ornaments and let everything dry before hanging.

Tip:

If you’d like to add variety, paint some hats in green or gold, or use glitter paint for a sparkling effect.

You could even give your Santas rosy cheeks with a dab of pink paint.
