There's no place like home for the holidays – especially when it's all decked out with the merriest gnome decorations around! From DIY gnome signs to a jolly woodland gnome tablescape, tree and mantle, this is one Christmas decorating idea that will make everyone feel right at gnome for the holidays! Read on to find out how to add some Christmas gnome charm to your own home.
The Table
Family and friends will love gathering at a woodland gnome themed Christmas table. Filled with festive colors and cozy accents, this table makes a statement but is easy to put together.
First, create a neutral canvas by covering your table with a white table cover. Next, place a length of Kraft Paper Roll down the center of the table and then add Grey Gauze Table Runners across the width of the table, crossing over the top of the kraft paper table runner.
To complete your layered table runner look, place a White and Black Buffalo Plaid Table Runner on top of the gauze table runners, but laying the same direction as the kraft paper table runner. Now we get to add some gnomey accents!
Set a riser on the center of the table. Place a couple of 10" Tabletop Evergreen Trees on top of the riser, along with a cute DIY Mushroom and a DIY Ceramic Gnome that you've previously painted.
Run a frosted pine garland along the buffalo plaid table runner, tucking some of it underneath the riser. Tuck DIY mushrooms and Pinecone Votive Candle Holders into the garland on both sides of the riser.
To create festive place settings, put a Faux Acacia Wood Paper Charger at each seat. Cut two Value Silver-Dollar Eucalyptus Garlands into three sections each. Form each section into a little wreath and tape the ends together. Place each wreath on a Faux Acacia Wood Paper Charger and add a Buffalo Plaid Dinner Plate on top of the mini wreaths. Fold DIY Natural Tea Towels into thirds and tuck one end underneath each charger/plate stack. These will be used as napkins. Tuck a name into each Faux Birch Branch Place Card Holder, and them to the top of the plates, and voila! Your table is ready to welcome guests!
Every great place setting needs drinkware! To the upper right of each plate, add a Black Buffalo Plaid Insulated Coffee Paper Cup with Lid and a Gnome Ceramic Mug.
Don't forget the flatware! Place a Wooden Cutlery Set inside Buffalo Plaid Mini Stocking Ornaments and leave one at each place setting. What a cozy table we've created!
The Tree
Your gnome table looks fabulous, so now let's give your Christmas tree some gnome love! First, place a Buffalo Plaid Tree Skirt over your tree base and then wrap Buffalo Plaid Ribbon and Wide Natural Burlap around your tree to create a tree garland. Now we'll gnomify the tree. The easiest way to do this is by using the Gnome Christmas Tree Decorating Kit. It includes a gnome hat tree topper, gloves and a gnome nose.
Once you hang those on your tree, you'll just want to fill it out with some fun ornaments like Color Your Own Christmas Gnome Ornaments (this is a fun kids' craft, too!), Buffalo Plaid Christmas Tree Decorating Kit, Holiday Handicraft Snowflake Ornaments, Metal Snowflake Ornaments, Rocking Horse Ornaments, Pinecone Ornaments, Greenery Filled Ball Ornaments, Cozy Classic Natural Wood Slice Ornaments, and Galvanized Christmas Star Ornaments.
Finish your festive tree by hanging the "Merry" portion of the Buffalo Plaid Merry Christmas Garland across the front. What a fun and festive tree!
The Mantle
Ready to merry up your mantle? First, hang DIY Mushroom Wreath above your mantle. (You can learn how to make it here.)
Now add Winter Village Houses to the mantle (you'll want to paint them first!) along with a DIY Gnome for the Holidays Sign (grab the DIY here) and DIY Perpetual Gnome Sign (DIY here).
Fill the outer edges of the mantle with accents such as DIY Ceramic Gnomes (painted first!), Tabletop Evergreen Trees, DIY Mushrooms (get the DIY here), a Jute Star Christmas Tree Topper, and Pinecone Votive Candle Holders.
And let's not forget about the cute Christmas Gnome Advent Calendar! You can rest it on your mantle or hang it on the wall next to your fireplace.
Remember the Buffalo Plaid Merry Christmas Garland? We used the "Merry" portion on the tree. Now you get to hang the "Christmas" part on your mantle!
Next, add a pair of Black Metal Lanterns and THE. MOST. ADORABLE. GNOMES. to your hearth. So cute!
Friends and family will be so enchanted by your Gnome for the Holidays decorating ideas, so settle in and enjoy Christmas celebrations among your cute and cozy creations.
