How to Make an Easter Bunny Gnome

Just follow these simple instructions to make your own DIY bunny gnome!

Step 1

Open the white sock, and fill the bottom with about a 1⁄4 cup of decorative small pebbles. You just need enough to keep the sock weighted, so that the gnome doesn’t fall over.

Step 2

Next, add fiber fill on top of the pebbles until the sock is very full and rounded, almost to the top.

Step 3

Take your marble and place it inside of the fiber fill in the sock. Then push it towards wherever you want the nose to be.

Place your rubber band around the outside of the sock, with the marble in it. Make sure to wrap the rubber band multiple times, so that the marble doesn’t slip out.

Step 4

Gather the sock at the top, and place the second rubber band around it, and again wrap it around multiple times. You may need to pull and stretch the sock a little bit to make sure your gnome is nice and rounded and even.

Once you have the shape you like, cut the remaining top of the sock off with scissors. Hot glue the edges down, so that the edges are flush. I used the blades of my scissors to press everything down, so that I didn’t burn myself on the glue.

Step 5

Add hot glue to the top of the sock opening, and place the styrofoam cone on top.

Step 6

Stretch the yellow sock over the cone, and pull it down to cover the top of the white sock. Roll it up one time, and then hot glue it to the white sock.

Step 7

Using scissors or a box cutter, cut the ears o of the Easter Bunny headband, leaving about 1⁄2” on both sides.

There were two pieces of wire attaching the ears to the headband, so I ended up having to use wire cutters to remove them.

Once the ears are removed, fold the extra fabric at the bottom over and hot glue together. Place the ears inside the folded flap of the yellow sock hat, and hot glue them into place.

Step 8

Wrap the duster/mop head around the gnome to measure where to cut for the beard.

Once you have it lined up, and decide where to cut, flip the duster/mop head over. Then use a box cutter or scissors to cut the backside.

There will be excess loose pieces. Just pull them away until it stops shedding, and dispose of them. The beard should be in a slight trapezoid shape.

Hot glue the beard to the gnome, tucking it right below the nose.

Step 9

Lastly, remove the remaining fabric from the headband, and fold the cut edges over and glue them.

Glue the fabric on the sides of the gnomes to be the arms, and add a little glue to the middle, to make the hands overlap.

Your bunny gnome is now complete, and ready to enjoy. It will make the perfect addition to your Easter decorations!

Isn’t it super cute? There’s something about holiday gnomes that I’m finding pretty irresistible! I hope you love this DIY bunny gnome project!
