Chunky Patriotic Gnome DIY Kit

Meet your charming Chunky Patriotic Gnome — a sweet, layered wood DIY kit perfect for summertime crafting, tiered trays, and cozy Americana décor.

This little gnome is full of personality, with chunky layers that are simple to paint and assemble. Whether you’re decorating for Memorial Day, the 4th of July, Labor Day, or simply love a touch of red‑white‑and‑blue charm, he brings a cheerful, handmade warmth to any shelf, vignette, or seasonal display.

Each piece arrives unfinished, so you can enjoy the slow, peaceful process of painting and assembling him in your own style. Go bold and bright, soft and vintage, or somewhere in between — he’s adorable no matter how you bring him to life.

What's included -

• • Unfinished layered wood pieces to create one Chunky Patriotic Gnome

  • Maple plywood layers — beautifully smooth and wonderfully beginner‑friendly

  • 1/2‑inch birch plywood backer — sturdy, warm, and perfect for shelf or tray display

  • Laser‑cut details for crisp, easy painting

  Paint, glue, brushes, and embellishments are not included.

Size --

Approximately 6.35" tall, 3.25" wide, and just over 1" thick when assembled — the perfect size for tiered trays, shelves, and cozy little nooks.

Why Maple + Birch? 

I use maple plywood for the detailed layers because it has a naturally smooth, paint‑ready surface that beginners absolutely love — colors glide on softly and evenly, making the crafting experience gentle and joyful. The 1/2‑inch birch plywood backer adds a warm, sturdy foundation, giving your finished piece a sweet little presence on shelves, trays, and cozy nooks.

How to assemble -

1. Paint each layer in your favorite colors

2. Allow everything to dry

3. Glue the layers together

4. Display your sweet little gnome on a shelf, tiered tray, or seasonal vignette

Simple, relaxing, and so satisfying.
