Gnomes + Christmas = Fun Decorations and More!
I have to admit that I absolutely love gnomes! They’re just so darn cute and cheerful.
I’ve collected gnome decorations for different seasons and themes over the years (my coffee gnomes dare my absolute fav!). There’s something about their little beards, noses, and hats that makes me smile every time I see them.
Our fall gnome coloring bookmarks and pages have been such big hits. I knew my boys would have a blast with some Christmas-themed gnome fun, too. I remembered our Christmas tree cones and thought that would be a cool mis. That’s how these Gnome Cones came to life! They’re festive, simple, and fun to make. These print-and-go crafts are perfect for holiday activities you can enjoy.
What You’ll Need to Make These Gnome Cones
One of the great things about these Christmas Gnome Paper Cones is how simple they are to make! You don’t need fancy or expensive supplies. I recommend that you have:

That’s it! Whether your kids want to make one gnome or the whole crew, these printable pages make it super simple to add some Christmas cheer without any mess or stress.
How to Make Gnome Paper Cones
Making these little gnomes is as easy and fun as can be. Just follow these simple steps:
- Print your gnome templates. Choose your favorite from the 8 adorable designs or go ahead and print them all for a full gnome crew!
- Color your gnome. Use crayons, markers, or colored pencils to bring your gnome to life. You can go classic red-and-green or mix it up with unexpected colors.
- Cut it out. Carefully cut along the solid black outline. Little ones might need some help with this part.
- Fold and roll. Fold along the dotted line to create a flap, then roll your gnome into a cone shape.
- Glue or tape to secure. Use glue or a small piece of tape along the flap to hold your cone together.
WooHoo! Your cheerful little gnome is ready to play with or add to your Christmas decorations.
