Gnome Face SVG

About this design

The simplest gnome in the collection. There are no arms, robe or boots, only the parts everyone recognizes: a tall hat pulled down over the eyes, a fur band, a pompom, a big round nose and a long beard that narrows to a point.

Without the body, the design is tall and slim, so it fits narrow spaces such as tumbler sides, bookmarks and the corner of a card.

Pieces and weeding

The solid file has 5 pieces and 3 cut-outs. The hat, band, pompom, nose and beard are separate pieces divided by thin cut lines, and the beard strands are the cut-outs. Keep everything on one sheet of transfer tape so the parts stay lined up. It passes our cut checks from about 1.5 inches tall.

The smallest gnome

This design passes our cut checks from just 1.5 inches, the smallest size in the gnome collection, so it is the one to use for earrings, planner stickers and tiny tags.

Good to know

Because the gnome face has no arms or boots, it is easy to fit into other designs. Place it at the end of a word in your software, use it as the dot over an i, or tuck it into the corner of a name sign. On a tumbler, set it vertically along the side so the tall hat follows the shape of the cup. For earrings and charms cut on a laser, use 2 mm wood or acrylic and paint the beard and nose by hand after cutting.
