Soft pastel tones and playful details make these Easter gnomes a lovely addition to spring décor. Designed as bunny-inspired versions, each gnome features long ears and holds a small egg, giving them a seasonal look that fits perfectly with Easter decorations. The finished size is approximately 20 cm / 7.87″ in height and 10 cm / 3.93″ in width, making them ideal for styling on a shelf, table centerpiece, or entryway display.
The pattern includes clear step-by-step instructions and detailed photos to guide you through the process. The construction is simple and enjoyable, with straightforward shaping that allows the character details to stand out. While they look great in soft pastel shades, you can easily make them in brighter or more neutral colors to match your home or existing decorations.
These gnomes are a charming way to refresh your space for spring. Simple in structure yet full of character, they add a handmade touch that brings warmth and personality to Easter décor without overwhelming it.
