Love this!! This is a project that my 10 year old granddaughter & I can "ART" as she says together! Thank you for sharing!

[@TaffleberryLane]

Wonderful! My heart absolutely beams when I hear that viewers are able to make these projects with the children in their lives! Not only will you be making cute little gnomes together, but you will also be making a memory with your granddaughter that she will remember throughout her life and possibly recreate with her own grandchildren someday. So special!

[@gingerwilkin2774]

This is exactly what I was thinking. I am moving to a house right across the street fine my son and daughter-in-love. (They bought me a home). I am so excited to “art) with three of my grandchildren that will live s close!!♥️

[@VivienDuffield-nx9un]

​@@gingerwilkin2774 good luck

[@maryevans3655]

I make ones very similar to these. When I first started…my husband bought me 100 wood balls for noses. I laughed and told him I’d never use 100 of them. Well…we had to buy more last week. Totally addictive. ❤

[@lzrd8460]

Excellent tutorial- clear instructions, no music blaring in the background . Much appreciated. Happy holidays. 🥰🥰 I’m going to add a touch of rose to the nose!

[@susannewilzewski6400]

Great Idea the rosa nose 😉

[@cathygiuliana9089]

Wonderful idea! Tfs😊

[@myownfan]

Eeeek! That touch of blush to the nose sounds adorable! I loved the fact there wasn't any music blaring in the background too.

[@blimeylimey828]

This tutorial is A++. I’m always looking for crafts to do with my mother when she stays with us. She is 89 years old and knits and cross stitches like a machine, and she loves crafts, so this will be PERFECT for us when she comes on the weekend. I’ve already made a couple of gnomes, and I’m addicted!! Thank you so very much.❤

[@TaffleberryLane]

Aww, thanks so much for your kind words. So happy to hear you found the video tutorial helpful!

[@yogamom90]

So cute and many kid crafts are also good for the elderly.thanks for sharing

[@sabrinaharris6538]

I'm not crazy about most of the Gnomes I've seen, but thanks to your video, I have finally found a Gnome I not only like, but want to make. These are adorable!! Thank You for Sharing your Time, and Your Talent with all of us.

[@caracassell6302]

You were so thoughtful to do a left-handed and a right-handed demonstration. Thank you. Very, very cute ornament!

[@TaffleberryLane]

Thanks! So happy to hear that!

[@cathygiuliana9089]

Hi Toni! Here it is October already! Seems like we just said goodbye to summer a week ago! Seasons fly by so fast, especially as you get older! So my 70 year old self is saving up as many toilet paper rolls as I can so I can get busy digging out all my winter craft supplies and start creating my own little gnome village! You are so right, the more you make these the easier it gets and I watch your video whenever I get the chance, to tell you the truth your voice is so cheerful and relaxing! My grandkids and I will have so much fun making these little gnomes and they will become precious keepsakes for me, memories of our happy times together! So everybody start saving up your toilet paper rolls and let the fun begin!❤️🧻

[@TaffleberryLane]

Enjoy!

[@loridarnell9002]

Girl… I am obsessed with your little gnome ornaments! I was so inspired that I went out and bought some Dollar Tree yarn and went on a mission. I made three different colors today. Thank you so much for the excellent instruction. I could do these in my sleep now. Be safe!

[@TaffleberryLane]

So happy to hear you are having so much fun making them! 🤍🤍🤍

[@FlaKNMB]

These are adorable and seem so easy to make. They'd make great Secret Santa gifts, gift to say thank you to someone who helped in a small way, and craft fair ornament.

[@juliekeil8791]

I’ve watched a few gnome ornament tutorials, and this is, by far my favorite! Can’t wait to make these! Thank you. 🎄💖

[@Lyllyth-jb4br]

These are awesome! I did a variation with different material for the beard (I used a Dollar Tree cotton mophead, cut off about 13 strands from the mophead, and then unfurled each strand, which has 4 fibers per strand). It came out amazing!

[@TaffleberryLane]

Nice work!

[@myownfan]

Oh that's clever!

[@preciousjesus65]

Can we see a picture using the mop head?

[@patcraven1309]

First gnome done....fall/football guy...LOL!!!! You are right...they are addictive!!!!!! Thanks for sharing and great instructions!🥰

[@robinhughes7576]

Left handedness is a sign of creativity and intelligence.....my grandma told me so. And you know grandma wouldn't lie to me. You are very creative!!

[@laurakret1534]

I’m going to make these and use them as package embellishments! Love them!

[@sheliafarmer]

Perfect idea

[@kayrinehart3865]

Very easy to follow tutorial!! Would be so cute also on a wreath or garland!!!

[@nancyimbleau2023]

Absolutely would

[@debbiethompson6240]

I have made the hats with leftover regular yarn. So I appreciate the tutorial on the beard and nose being added to the beanie! Very concise instructions, thank you.🙂

[@williejurcevic8811]

This video was very comprehensive and gave great instructions. The little gnomes are just adorable. Great way to use up excess yarn!

[@raventhunder6386]

You are a great teacher. Giving easy to follow ,detailed directions to complete a really nice project. They look so much better than more expensive gnomes in retail stores. Thank you and merry Christmas

[@reneecassidy7279]

So cute and love how easy they are!

[@VickyM2362]

So glad you are left handed like me. Easier to follow, clear instructions and enthusiastic teaching!! Thank you!

[@TaffleberryLane]

You are so welcome!

[@sylviajump8998]

Beautiful ideal to make with the kids xx

[@chrisinusa1]

Made these with my girls last night with It’s a Wonderful Life playing in the background. The first ones took awhile but afterwards we were addicted and made several. My girls asked me to keep the supplies handy…we’ll keep making them throughout the season! Thanks so much for this tutorial! Merry Christmas!🎄

[@cindychesna829]

Your technique for making the hat is genius! So cute!!!

[@pamelariley8983]

I absolutely love this.. I had everything I needed here at home to start making these !.. I made 30 of them for our Mingle Jingle Christmas Store to sell for the Missions at church !! Thank you !!!

[@cindythompson7467]

What a cute addition one of these would be to a wrapped Christmas package...Thank you!

[@TaffleberryLane]

What a great idea!

[@tinawhynot8893]

They are adorable - I made tons of the little hat ornaments last year, this adds an extra dimension❣️

[@poolfield2]

What diameter beads did you use so the proportions looks right please.

[@jo-annstoneham1813]

Absolutely adorable. Thanks for sharing.

[@lisacarrisoza4122]

What a wonderful and simple idea. A pair of these are sweet Christmas hostedd gifts.

This is such a cute project. I think I'm going to try to make some gnomes. Look forward to seeing more of your craft. Thank you. Nancy from Texas

[@robingangler1922]

Love those. I make larger gnomes but love these as tree ornaments.

[@joannehudes.1759]

Love this tutorial. Very explanatory and easy to follow. Thanks so much.

[@lisaharden3607]

Thank you so much for this tutorial that includes suggested measurements!!! Great job! Now I’m excited to make these. Other videos never give any clue as to how long the hat yarn should be or how many times to wrap around for the beard!

[@beverlyhitchon4901]

These are so super cute. I'm definitely going to make some. Thank you for a brilliant tutorial, so easy to follow. 💖

[@jillutti9334]

[@suegardner1417]

Thank you for putting these out here!! !They are adorable!!! And inexpensive to make...and quick...and so customizable! I'm making one of these for each person I give a gift to. I'll tie it on the outside of the package or bag. Perfect little extra-something-special!!

[@TaffleberryLane]

Aww, thank you! Your gift recipients will love them! What a special thing to do!

[@cathygiuliana9089]

Hi Toni, I’m here watching this September 2022! This was such an amazing tutorial! I watched some of the other gnome videos and this one was definitely the best!

[@carolyndaughton3373]

This is absolutely adorable! Such a great idea. I love you clear instructions. Thank you for sharing.

[@tsam3338]

Ditto

[@kathleen2754]

First I love this idea and plan to use it this Christmas for my two special grand nieces and grand nephew and make them in their favorite characters colors. I have an idea on how to attach nose bead on without the hot glue. Take one or two strands of yarn from center and tie bead then tuck the side with the tied yarn on it under the hat. I'm not sure how much better this would be but in my head it worked 😃

[@sherrirowe2814]

Super cute! Clear demo... thanks
