Gnome s are the perfect way to add a touch of whimsy to your home while also keeping doors propped open. These charming little creatures can be made with just a few materials and some basic knowledge of sewing. Here’s how to make a doorstop that’s sure to bring a smile to everyone’s face:

Materials:

– 1/2 yard of fabric in gnome print
– 1/2 yard of fabric in coordinating color
– Fabric or rice for filling
– Sewing machine
– Thread
– Scissors
– Pins

Instructions:

1. Cut out pieces for your gnome doorstop. You’ll need to cut out two pieces of the gnome print fabric for the body, one piece of coordinating fabric for the hat, and two small triangles of the coordinating fabric for the nose.

2. Sew the body pieces together. With right sides facing each other, pin and sew along the edges of the two body pieces, leaving a small gap at the bottom for filling. Turn the fabric right side out.

3. Fill the body with rice or fabric scraps. Use a funnel or a spoon to fill the body of the gnome with rice or fabric scraps, leaving about one inch at the top.

4. Sew the bottom of the body closed. Fold the edges of the gap inwards and pin them together. Sew them closed with a tight, straight stitch.

5. Make the hat. Fold the piece of coordinating fabric in half lengthwise, right sides facing each other. Pin along the open edge and sew together. Turn the fabric right side out and fold the bottom up to create the brim of the hat. Place the hat on the top of the gnome’s body and pin it in place.

6. Add the nose. Fold the small triangles of coordinating fabric in half diagonally, right sides facing each other. Sew along the long edge, leaving the short edges open. Turn the fabric right side out and stuff with a small amount of filling. Pin the noses in place on the gnome’s face and sew them on.

7. Finish the hat. Fold the top of the hat down and sew it in place, creating a little point at the top of the gnome’s head.

Your gnome doorstop is now complete! Set it in front of any door in your house and enjoy the whimsical touch it adds to your décor.

Tips and Tricks:

– Use a heavier weight fabric for your gnome doorstop, such as cotton canvas or upholstery fabric, to ensure that it’s sturdy enough to hold open doors.
– If you don’t have rice or fabric scraps for filling, you can also use beans, lentils, or sand.
– Experiment with different prints and colors to create a collection of gnome doorstops that complement your home’s style.
