Materials & Tools

You can make these gnomes in a variety of fabrics—cotton, felt, fleece, or linen all work great. Non-stretch fabrics keep the cone shape best, yet fleece is also a good choice and adds a cozy feel.

You’ll also need:

Embroidery thread for faces and details.
Fiber filling (Poly-Fil or small cut fabric scraps).
Weighted beads (Poly-Pellets) to help your gnomes stand tall.
Paper for making a funnel for easy filling with weighted beads.
Basic sewing tools: sewing machine, scissors, clips or pins, marking pen, funnel, ruler, and needle.

Fabric Tips

For a frayed edge (like the Halloween Ghost Gnome), use woven cotton or linen.
Add felt backing when stitching faces to prevent puckering.
Use fleece for a soft, cuddly look or cotton for crisp details.
Each gnome uses a weighted base to help it stand up. I recommend using cotton for this, but it doesn’t need to coordinate as it will not be visible from the outside.

Monster Gnome plush with bolts, frown, and spiky hair crafted from the Halloween Gnomes Sewing Pattern.

Meet the Halloween Gnomes Sewing Pattern

Ghost – Two cone layers create a structured base and a floating costume with frayed edges. The long facial features are a classic ghost-like face.

Candy Corn – Features the classic three-color layers and a friendly stitched smile.

Pumpkin – A jack-o’-lantern face, topstitched vertical “ribs,” and a leafy vine for texture.

Monster – Complete with bolts, frown, and wild hair—he’s the cutest kind of cranky.

Witch – A quirky hat, hooked nose, and gathered hair give her plenty of personality.

Watch + Sew Along to Make the Plush Halloween Characters
