Gnome Bauble Ornament SVG

About this design

A bauble and a gnome in one ornament. A round ball with a cap and hanging loop forms the backdrop, and a gnome face sits in front of it: a tall hat with a fur band and pompom, a big round nose and a long, smooth beard that reaches down to the bottom of the ball.

Because the bauble gives it a round outline, this design looks like a classic ornament from a distance and reveals the gnome up close.

Pieces and weeding

The solid file has 7 pieces and 1 cut-out. The gnome is outlined by a thin cut line against the bauble, so the face, hat and beard sit on the ball as their own pieces, and the cap and loop are part of the bauble. Keep everything on one sheet of transfer tape so the parts stay lined up. It passes our cut checks from about 2 inches tall.

Color ideas

• Red bauble with a green gnome
• Silver bauble with a navy gnome
• Gold and green, as shown

One color or many

Cut in a single color, the gnome shows as a cut line inside the bauble, which looks good on wood and kraft card. In the color file, each part takes its own color, so the bauble glows gold behind a green gnome.

Cutting it small

At 2 inches tall this is one of the smallest gnome designs that still cuts cleanly, because the round bauble keeps the outline solid and there is only one cut-out to weed. That makes it a good pick for gift tags and mini card fronts. Below about 3 inches, a single color is the easiest choice, with the thin cut line around the gnome doing the work.

Pairs well with

The Classic Round Christmas Bauble is the same bauble without a gnome, and the Gnome Ornament is a full gnome with a loop.
