Gnome Christmas Trees
Last Holiday season, I shared this picture of some outdoor DIY Christmas gnomes made with tree branches for your front porch on Pinterest…
Aren’t they ADORABLE?

Seriously, the potato nose and the evergreen branches are just too cute!
So I decided I really wanted to learn how to make Christmas gnomes with branches AND collect ideas of of gnome Christmas trees to make for my house.
Here’s the easy way to make a gnome Christmas tree out of branches, pine trees or outdoor bushes – super easy!

Now, one thing I noticed that is different in the gnome tree above and the picture I shared on Pinterest is…
This last little gnome was NOT made with fresh “live” pine branches – instead, it was made with a small artificial Christmas tree with lights like this one.
Personally, I think that is BRILLIANT – by making my little gnomes for my front porch with fake trees, I can use them year after year.
But all that said – I LOVE fresh pine tree branches – especially during the Holidays.
So, let’s watch how to make fresh evergreen Christmas gnomes.
(hint: they use a tomato cage like this to shape the gnome and hold the pine branches in place – genius!)

DIY Christmas Garden Gnomes
I love these 2 Christmas garden gnomes! Making one big and one smaller is a great idea!
These 2 outdoor Christmas gnomes on their porch are NOT made with fresh pine limbs – instead, they used little fake Christmas trees – great idea, right?
I love how they have the gnomes set up on logs with wrapped presents and the Merry Christmas sign – such a nice touch.
I really like how this Christmas pine gnome turned out – nice and FULL.
Using a Potted Evergreen Bush
Another option is to head to Home Depot, Lowes or any store that sells POTTED evergreen bushes and make your outdoor Christmas gnomes that look like this:
Watch how HGTV makes these front porch gnome Christmas trees in this TikTok video tutorial:

Alternative To MAKING One
Now, if you’re not a DIY’r and/or not feeling crafty…
You can BUY one of these cute gnome Christmas trees instead.
Amazon has ADORABLE Gnome Trees here.
I can’t wait to make my gnomes Christmas trees to decorate this year!
I think I might do something with buffalo check for the hat – not sure, but I think it’ll look really cute.
Have you seen these HUGE outdoor gnome trees?
Just WOW!
At first glance, if you know your outdoor greenery, is to think those big tall bushes are Italian Cypress… but they’re not.
They are arborvitae – and fun fact – they can grow as much as 3 FEET every YEAR!
So, if you want really, REALLY big and TALL gnome bushes in your front yard, that’s the type of shrub you’ll want to plant =)
Now, if you don’t want to make a gnome tree – why not get a gnome to stand NEXT to your Christmas tree?
Look how cute!
Here are some cute ones…
