[@roxannegraham5262]

I Love Love Love this...and you for all the creativeness you bring out in me!! Thank you for all you share so selfishly!!!❤️

[@SarahNenniDaher]

Aw thank you so much for the kind words, Roxanne. I just love making these cuties.

A suggestion for those who do not sew you can use "Stitch Witchery also known as Heat and Bond fusible fabric" or like type product that once the heat of your flat iron presses it between the two layers of fabric it locks the two sides in place. Read each products directions for proper adhesion. May have a number of different names, but still does the same job. It is a fusible thin fabric bought at any crafts supply location. It also comes in sheets, as well, for larger jobs and can be used between two layers of fabric to make a fabric more stable and less flimsy as in placemats, etc. Many uses with a creative imagination. :)

Love love 💕 and ❤️ my daughter is a awesome gardener and loved my gnome I made from the pattern I got from you. She said she wanted a chef one for her birthday but this is SOOO her. Thanks now she will be getting the gardener gnome .

[@SarahNenniDaher]

That is awesome, Darla. I wish I could garden... I do like the BARE minimum each year. Your daughter definitely has a talent.

[@mariarisebury2547]

[@PatHanna-z1o]

Like the hat.

[@bonnieboehm3958]

Really cute idea! But then, all your ideas are great! Can’t wait to see all of the gnome underneath that hat!!

[@SarahNenniDaher]

Aww, thank you so much, Bonnie. He's one of my favorites - too bad I'm a horrid gardener. LOL

[@mktwiggyma7]

So cool! Can you use plastic bags if cling wrap is not available?

[@marieandersson2953]

So cute gnome and a lovely hat. Not so hard to make with your lovely tutorial, thank´s for sharing this!

[@cleobradford5806]

That hat is Soooooo cute

[@dianahenderson9696]

That hat is Great! Thank You! Love it.❤️

[@rachaelrutherford9548]

This is such an adorable hat. It’ll look so cute on a spring gnome. Thank you for sharing 🥰

[@ganstagranny312]

Sweet gnome!

[@msleesworld6719]

Hi, I absolutely love this project! Blessings

[@roxaneevans4525]

How adorable

[@sheilabolger5567]

I loved the hat and made two!! The second one went a whole lot easier. 🎉🎉love your channel

[@SarahNenniDaher]

Oh yay, I'm so glad! I have made a few this way - it's so much easier than trying to find pre-made doll hats to fit. :)

[@suziebuckingham9053]

Oh, my imagination is running of what I can use for different sizes. Love this. And yes, I will be trying it. I’m thinking of one holding vegetables for the summer and maybe have a piece of netting attached to the hat for bugs. Can’t wait to get started !

[@lindawilliams8902]

I have one of those felt pressing blocks too... love it! Now I need your mini iron!!

[@sharlenesmith2455]

Very cute! As usual! 😋. I’ve done this with doilies also & fabric stiffener…. That would make a very cute girly” gnome garden hat. Added plus… the doilies shape well without pleats! Can’t wait to see your garden gnome!

[@donnaduran5022]

So adorable 🥰

[@jenxu2]

I love this hat!

[@joyceterra2265]

I would definately do this. Clever idea.

[@822jac]

I've been waiting for this video. Thanks for sharing.💕

[@lauraakagigi]

Sooooo cute!!

[@suzique3893]

So cute!!

[@connietowler3725]

So adorable, love this. Really like the material you used, Springy. So cold here in Michigan, 19 degrees, gotta think Spring, warmth :) Thank you for sharing...

[@SarahNenniDaher]

Oh wow, um, that's a bit too cold for me, Connie. Oooh, sending wishes of warmth your way. ;)

[@robertadunn1572]

This is genius!! Love it! Willmhave to try it after I get over this darn sinus infection,not fun being sick on your birthday!!Ugh!! Andnour weather here in Pa. Is awful! Hope you and all are well and warm!! Hugs!💓

[@SarahNenniDaher]

Oh no, you're still sick? Ugh, that just means your celebration when you get better will have to be TWICE as amazing. ;) I hope you feel better soon.

[@robertadunn1572]

@@SarahNenniDaher Thank You so much! Yep twice as nice for sure!LOL!!My hubby said that he will take me to Hobby Lobby and let me pick out what I want oh no that is a bad bad idea!!LOL! That's like giving a kid a blank check in a toy store😂😂😂. He is always ready to go to Hobby Lobby it's crazy!LOL!! But he is a keeper! We will be married 35 years this year and 38 altogether.

[@1meanelf]

First off that hat is so cute and will be using it. I admit I am lazy so will water my mod podge down a little and soak my material in it then put it on the frame and follow your instructions to finish it. Thank you as always for your pattern. :)

[@SarahNenniDaher]

Great suggestion! That method definitely worked with cotton fabric but didn't work with the linen. I'm not sure why but the folds (the ones on the hat portion, not the brim) didn't have enough on them, maybe? Not sure but they never would sit flat. :(

[@brendashoemaker493]

Absolutely adorable!! Can’t wait to give it a try!

[@marilynranden]

Thank you, love this tutorial, will definitely be trying it!

[@SarahNenniDaher]

Oh yay, Marilyn. I'm so glad you liked this idea - it was the easiest way for me to make a hat and I'm surprised with how well they turn out with a little brim trim. Thank you so much for being here and watching along with me.

[@bethanyrussell843]

HELLO, good video! 🍒😃

[@SarahNenniDaher]

Thanks so much, Bethany. This is one of my most favorite gnomes I've ever made.

[@lindawilliams8902]

A tuna can or cat food can would work perfectly, glued onto the plate, and covered with plastic wrap... 😊😊

[@mariarisebury2547]

Sarah I forgot to ask you, what is the size of the hat and what size is the candle you used?, I just love the pattern .Maria R xx

[@SarahNenniDaher]

It's about a 3.5 inch candle, but I recreated the same style on a much smaller gnome using a votive. :) You can use a bowl, a glass, or really anything cylindrical. :)

[@heatherhohls2315]

Hi Sarah, will the hat fit your Scandinavian gnome pattern, need to make a gardening gnome for a 70 year old lady , love your fellow , but need to make it for a lady , maybe if I make the hat in a floral it mite look more feminine, Would really appreciate your input . Thanks Heather

[@SarahNenniDaher]

No, this hat is MUCH too large for that pattern. You can use the same process for a brim and place it over the normal hat on the Scandi Sweeties pattern (just add a stiffened brim). This hat would likely fit the stout gnome pattern (it's the short, wide body).

[@lindak7193]

Wow Sarah you were going so fast , especially at the beginning, you almost lost me! This is too cute not to want to try.

[@SarahNenniDaher]

Awww I'm sorry, hon. This was made before I started slowing everything down a bit. I promise, this is all in the pattern. :)
