Christmas gnomes have become wildly popular in recent years, and it’s no surprise why. These little guys are incredibly cute, and they add a touch of whimsy to any home. Plus, they make a great DIY craft project! Gnomes are easy to make and require only basic materials like felt, stuffing, and yarn.

Making your own gnome gives you the freedom to customize it however you want — whether that means including a funny phrase or a special holiday message. You can even make the gnome look like a family member or friend! Plus, it’s a fun activity for the whole family – or even just for yourself. So if you’re looking for a creative, festive way to spruce up your home this holiday season, why not make your own Christmas gnome? It’s sure to bring a smile to everyone who sees it.

I am just smitten with this felt gingerbread house bag. This would make such a sweet special Christmas accessory for a kid. It’s a free pattern at Benzie Design, designed by Gracie from Hello Gracie Makes. It’s packed with adorable gingerbread house details, like swirls and stripes and scallops adoring the doors and windows.

And while all those details might seem like this would be a complicated pattern, it’s actually not. The bag itself is made from felt, which makes finishes edges unnecessary. (All of those scalloped edges are just cut from felt, no edge finishing required.) The strap is super simple, made from rope with knotted ends. And all those details are made with some basic hand embroidery stitches. Sparkle felt makes it extra cute.

The striped scallop roof is actually the top flap of the bag. A magnetic snap makes it a secure closure. The rope straps are attached through felt loops at the side of the bag.

They rate this project as an intermediate level, and it should take about 6 hours to make start to finish. That’s doable for a Saturday project or a couple of evenings. Full color photos step you through the entire process.

The project includes a shopping list for all of your supplies. They’ve got a shop so you can order all of them from Benzie if you like and get exactly the supplies used in the project. I noticed it includes a pair of scallop shears, which makes cutting all the scalloped edges for the roof and around the door a breeze.

Finished dimensions of the little felt gingerbread bag are approximately 6 ½” wide x 7 ½” tall. That’s the perfect size to hold a small book, a small toy, or a notepad and some cute pens.
