Christmas craft season creeps earlier every year, and somewhere between the tree going up and the market table getting packed you need one design that carries the whole season. This hand-drawn gnome does it without a single word. He is festive on a toddler's sweatshirt, charming on a grandmother's apron, and steady on a tumbler. Every one is printed, cut and packed by hand here in Okotoks, Alberta, made to order after you choose your format, with most orders shipping within one to three business days.
What's on this design
A gnome drawn in loose ink and pencil, wearing a tall red-and-white striped stocking cap that stacks up in wide bands and picks up a green ring near the crown. The floppy tip curls to one side and is tied off with a small black-and-white ribbon bow. Under the brim sits a glossy amber nose, a hint of rosy cheek, and a long shaggy grey-white beard. No lettering at all.
Who it's for
Good for anyone building a Christmas line that skips the slogans: gnome-collecting aunts, daycare staff shirts, matching cousin sweatshirts for photo day. Press the DTF transfer onto a cotton or blend hoodie, put the UV DTF sticker on a travel mug or a wooden ornament box, or run the vinyl decal on a car window or the front of your craft-fair sign.
Available formats
DTF transfer for fabric, UV DTF permanent sticker for hard surfaces, sublimation transfer for light polyester and poly-coated blanks, and vinyl decal for smooth surfaces. Vinyl is also available laminated, in matte or gloss.
How to apply
DTF transfers press at 280-300°F for 12-15 seconds, hot or cold peel, followed by a 5-10 second finishing press under parchment. UV DTF stickers peel and stick straight onto clean, dry hard surfaces. Sublimation transfers press onto light-coloured polyester or poly-coated blanks. Vinyl decals apply to any smooth, clean surface.
Care
Wash garments inside out in cold water. Skip the fabric softener and the dryer sheets. Hard-surface stickers need nothing more than a gentle wipe.
