[@SarahNenniDaher]

UPDATE 10/20/21: Here are more boot ornaments. Please check the sizing (ad): - fuzzy ones: amzn.to/3CeyAO1 - a Mukluk style: amzn.to/3jmZeMW - buffalo plaid: amzn.to/3aWjtwo - tartan plaid: amzn.to/3pjTnvK You can also find these at the following stores right now (I'm not sure where you live, so going to list all the ones I've seen them at or that readers have let me know): - Dollar Tree (red and white boot ornaments) - Walmart (so far, only the smaller boot ornaments for mid-sized gnomes) - Hobby Lobby (they have lots of boots exactly like this and even some ice skates that will work if you put them on a wood slice / plaque with a dowel) - The Christmas Store (these sell out quickly here, so just check stock) Original Comment - fur top: amzn.to/3kPGeFH - plush boots: amzn.to/3kTHZln - tartan plaid: amzn.to/2GtlQvc - red / black Buffalo check: amzn.to/34TQhnx - white / black Buffalo check: amzn.to/3jQp75r Additionally, you can check the following stores locally and online, as readers have found them: The Christmas Shoppe, Wal-Mart, and Joann's. Reply to this comment if you've got more shops to add! Psst: you can also make your own boots using what you have around the house and in your craft stash. Here's how: kzbin.info/aero/PLelQvRmnsDrdqgx3sjZt56aYMxfdMDNuS These farmhouse gnomes are a perfect Christmas gnome display with their hot cocoa, lovable little noses, and boot ornament shoes. Elevate a simple sock gnome and whip up a pair of these no-sew gnome cuties. If you have any questions, ask them below. Thank you so much for watching!

Love these gnomes!! 😍 Where do you find these boots, if you buy them?

[@SarahNenniDaher]

Oh, they have them at Target, the craft stores (JoAnn's and Hobby Lobby), and even online (Amazon). They are everywhere during the holidays but a little less available the rest of the year.

[@donnaward9971]

Super adorable ❤ Are you using beads for the nose ? I must have missed that. 😊 Thank you for sharing , can’t wait to make them.

[@janicebellino460]

Excellent,have you made a female in a bathing suit,I would love to see how you would make a bathing suit gnome

[@vickibrown3792]

I’m making these as gifts for my kid’s teachers and coaches. Is it inappropriate to give a person if color a Caucasian gnome? If yes should I just use a darker nose bead?

[@nadinehanley2920]

Hi, which one of your patterns would be good to use for any type of gnome. Sewing is fine. Thank you. Nadine

[@franceskenney4173]

Thank You sooooo much for this video I have been looking for one for days. I should have known to go to Sarah first you are the best ❤❤

[@gislainemota5663]

Love them! So freaking cute!!! ☺️🤗will definitely make them with my daughter!! She is in love with gnomes this year!! Thank you so much for sharing it!! 🥰 happy crafting!!!

[@chee-h1r]

What are the coffee cups made out of ? Those gnomes are absolutely fabulous !!!!

[@SarahNenniDaher]

It's just plain polymer clay that you bake in the oven. If you have air dry clay, that would work, too.

[@wandasinclair3748]

Love them. Tired of Xmas. Enjoy your shows

[@luciahelenatoledodeandrade996]

Muita fofura ❤

[@gardendesigns4u]

I love the gnomes and would love to make some for Christmas gifts but you don't have a pattern, how are we supposed to know how to make these?

[@SarahNenniDaher]

You could follow the video? It’s socks, and you’re just cutting and gluing them. If you need patterns, there are many free patterns shared on this channel and on the website here shop.rufflesandrainboots.com/product-category/gnome-patterns/

[@joannebeschell6274]

They are adorable! Definitely will be making several in different fabrics this year for Christmas! Thank you for the suggestions!

[@anusualcreates]

oh my god! These are so cute. Love these. And also love the energy in your voice. I can feel that you love what you do. Also in awe of your channel content. The general vibe of your videos is festive spirt and spreading joy (at least that's what I felt)! Awesome! Keep up the good work! :)

[@SarahNenniDaher]

Wow, thank you so much for the compliments. And I'm so glad to have you here - joy is definitely the purpose.

[@mackenziemill]

So adorable, great job. I will be definitely making a bunch of gnomes. I'm new here, nice to meet you. TFS, have a creative, inspired week xoxo

[@SarahNenniDaher]

Aw, so nice to have you here, Sandy - thank you for being here. Gnomes are my favorite - if that wasn't painstakingly obvious. LOL You're going to have so much fun making them. :)

[@SarahNenniDaher]

Oh, I'm so glad, Theresa! Any gnome where I don't have to drag out my sewing machine is a good gnome. LOL Thank you so much for watching.

[@catsinflames4598]

I’m a mechanic and I wanted to make a gnome as a present/gift to give one of my friends “ah you had a gnome in your suspension! I caught the bugger!” I think it would be funny

[@SarahNenniDaher]

Haha it would be - you should do it!

[@jenniferdye4006]

I’m new to this and not too crafty. What kind of clay did you use?

[@SarahNenniDaher]

Polymer clay - you can use white as a base to make your own skin color or buy pre-made packs at craft stores or on Amazon.

[@blondecardsncrafts]

Fab-u-lous!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Going to have a go at these, gotta get the stuff tomorrow 😁😍😁 Thanks for sharing 🤗

[@valerielangdeaux1369]

How adorable! I may have missed it, but is that molding clay for the whip cream and mug? Thanks for sharing!

[@SarahNenniDaher]

It's polymer clay (the kind you bake to set). :)

[@zorayasandoval2043]

What material you use for the mugs and how you bake them ?

[@SarahNenniDaher]

It is polymer clay and I baked them per the package instructions (going off memory, 20-25 mins at 270).

[@erikajaskela4307]

Addorable, making tomorrow

[@louisecox9641]

Really Cute but sorry too much work to me!

[@marygrunden2765]

These are adorable!! I cannot seem to find a link for the socks you used in the video....could you share? Thank you

[@SarahNenniDaher]

Those are from the Dollar Tree - about this time of year, they get the tall boot socks, but honestly, any larger sock will do.

[@derondafondren6666]

Love them.I injoyed watching.Thank you for sharing and stay safe.God Bless You..MeMe

[@caraleemustain9769]

Where did you find the boots. Got to have those..wouldn’t even think about making the if I can’t get the boots.

[@SarahNenniDaher]

Those boots are just a Christmas ornament I picked up from a craft store. I have found some online at Amazon, too, and I just saw Joann's was starting to put out their ornaments. I found these online: amzn.to/3jmk4tQ or these amzn.to/2GrfcoV

[@cecianaya5223]

LOVE them, especially the girl with the braids and the apron... tfs, and yes I'm going to try one... minus the cocoa mug...lol

[@alisonsmith2987]

How do they stand. Mine just fall over

[@SarahNenniDaher]

The weighted sock should sit on top of the ornaments. If yours are falling over, the ornaments could be too small for the gnome body? You could try adding dowels into the boots and into the body (secure the opening).

[@lovessummer2011]

The cutest gnome! I’m making one but I am not great at crafting 😥 Thanks so much for sharing ♥️

[@julieoleary3061]

Hi what are the noses made from please xx

[@sandramiller1553]

Super cute. Would love to make.

[@rhondacallsn3702]

So cute! Thanks for sharing. What did you use to make the coffee mugs. Would love to try and make these.

[@SarahNenniDaher]

The mugs are made with just polymer clay you can pick up at the craft store. I've had some readers / viewers tell me they found some on Etsy pre-made, as well.

[@francesines8127]

Lovely video well explained , where do I buy the fur for beards ? What is it called the material please ?

[@SarahNenniDaher]

The faux fur I use varies, but I prefer a longer pile. Most of the time that is Mongolian fur in frosted gray, believe this set used the gray "husky" fur from Joann's. Let me get you a link: www.joann.com/husky-faux-fur-fabric/zprd_17763624a.html?dwvar_zprd__17763624a_variationAttribute=15123862&quantity=2
