Let’s Get Started:

1. Download the FREE Gnome Pattern Templates, SVG Cut Files, and PDF Tutorial!

2. Cut out all the main body pieces according to the Templates.  Trace the nose and beard/apron on the paper side of the HeatnBond Lite Sewable Iron-on Adhesive.  Cut the shapes out WIDER than the drawn line.  Preheat your iron and place the adhesive on the wrong side of the fabric that you will be used for each pattern piece.  Place and hold the iron on the paper liner for 2 seconds.  Repeat until the entire surface is bonded.

3. Cut along the drawn paper line and then peel off the paper liner.  Place the fused fabric, adhesive side down, on top of the Gnome body.   Press and hold your iron for 6 seconds on each section until the entire piece is bonded.

4. Continue the assembly directions for the Gnome Doll found in your FREE PDF Tutorial.

5. Embellishments:  Let’s add some whimsy to our gnomes hats!  First, gather some felt scraps and cut out the desired shapes.  I cut out leaves and used tiny felt balls for berries!  Next apply a generous amount of Quick Bond Fabric Adhesive to the back of each embellishment.  Place in the desired position and hold for a few seconds.  Set aside and let dry for 30 minutes.

Be Creative!!! Think about using buttons, ribbons, tiny pine cones, or any other treasure you think your little Gnome would like to display on his/her hat!!!

 

If you know anything about me, you know I use to be a professional ballet dancer.  So I just couldn’t resist having all the Gnome Dolls do a little promenade around their very favorite Thermoweb product – Fabric Fuse!  Can’t you just hear the music playing? lol…
