These are great tutorials...congrats AND thank you! Also love all the tips viewers are sharing....always so helpful..

[@JennySikma]

You are so welcome!

[@vickyt2186]

Your videos are amazing and your gnomes are so sweet! May I suggest that you use a wooden skewer/chopstick to hold yarn down instead of your scissor. Also prevents burns!

[@joycesegers5578]

So cute! 🎄⛄ Love these so much!! 😍

[@sandrahickey3593]

I found an old furry scarf in grey and white to use, tha ks for the tutorial, I like the yarn one, mines had 3 different beards already.

[@lysebrown9687]

Great video! I watched the first gnome video, then this one. I'm new to making gnomes & love all of the beard alternatives. It's also helpful that you tell other alternatives. Cute gnomes!

[@longarmsupplies]

Thanks for posting this. I made some last year for my Mom at the senior's lodge and the response was shocking...the workers, the residents, they all want one! I wrote down your youtube channel for Mom to show everyone. They then came back and asked what I made the beards of... hope they saw this video.

[@JennySikma]

wow wonderful to hear...Im glad they loved it so much... simply and cost efficient was where I was going with this so many can enjoy it! The beards are made of yarn or anything I could find that was fuzzy. I prefer it over faux fur due to cost. The yarn is attached to a piece of felt with hot glue.

[@deniseweinke9929]

I don’t think I can pick a favorite,they are all so gosh darned cute!

[@kimberlydrake8463]

ADORABLE!!! I think I’m hooked on gnomes lol😂🤣. Love the options....thank you for sharing😊

[@JennySikma]

happy holidays xo

[@BambiCole]

Thank you again, you are very talented.

[@deinashipley7968]

Thanks for the great beard tips.

[@blancafuentes1967]

Thank you Jenny, Love your Gnomes and the one you made with the black and white and the red and white all beautiful! I am going to try making one. Hope it comes out as wonderful as yours. Again thank you for sharing! :-)

[@danaanderson761]

I didn't want to pay $3.00 for a little patch of fake fur from Hobby Lobby, I went to Five Below and found a white furry $5.00 blanket that works perfectly for the beards!! I just took the seam apart on the blanket and now just cut my beards out of the furry top. Just a tip for anyone trying to save money on the crafts! Love your video!

[@claudiawarren6053]

Your Gnomes are adorable and the directions you gave (and showed) are very easy to follow. Thank you! I think I am going to have to make some for my nieces and nephews. They will love them!

[@mamachicken1548]

Wow! So adorable Jenny and I love all the variations you have created.

[@missylucas9449]

I swear these are the cutest things ever!!!

[@DixieGirl9876]

Those are super cute! Another option for filling, plastic pellets also found in craft stores.

[@marial9925]

So in love with these! Thank you for posting

[@mholden74]

Such a great inexpensive way to give homemade gifts. Was needing something for the ladies at work and just found it. Thank you so much for sharing with us.

[@connietowler3725]

I just finished watching your first tutorial 😀 Then came across this one, loved it just as much... Very talented, Thank You 😊

[@carmenrodriguez4282]

They're so cute. I love them all !!! Thanks for sharing.👍❤

[@stambro10]

These are so dang cute just watched your first video and can't wait to get started...the second video is gonna be very helpful.

[@barbaraturke4654]

I am making a quilted table topper with Santas on it. Your video really helped me with the beard. THANX

[@ritajackson888]

These are all fantastic!! Glad I stumbled onto your site! Love your crafts and can't wait to make some of my own! Thank you for sharing!

[@mountaingirl6323]

Absolutely adorable gnomes! Looking forward to seeing more and would love to see the owl one when you get a chance! Thumbs up and subscribed!

[@scherryann64]

You have an owl one?, oh, I gotta see that one, my mom passed away in 2014, due to Myeloma Cancer, she collected owls, and I got her collection, plus she handed down to me, her owl fascination of collecting owls as well! 🦉✂️📐🔫🎅🤶🎨🌲

[@tatumsmom]

Love them! I’m on the hunt now for materials, still searching for beard material! I have a suggestion for ya, if you ever want to do a point top to the hat....fold the top together (in half) towards the back and hot glue it. From the front it’ll just be a tip! I love the variations of your gnomes, so adorable!

[@scherryann64]

Im also hunting for new materials, but I'm sure my craft room, has a bunch of things I could put to good use! Great tutorial, I don't mind if it's a long video, as long as it's educational and creative, which this was! So great job, and... for info on "bugs" in rice or beans, a person can freeze their bag of rice or beans in your freezer for 1 week, and it will kill any eggs, so...I hope that little tidbit helps! I want to make a bunch for my family, and hopefully have a little handmade gnome christmas card with it! Thank you so much for your tutorial, great ways to use yarn! Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas, happy crafting!🎨✂️📐🔫🎅🤶

[@michellesmixedmediamadness]

I found my faux fur at Walmart, but it was on a Halloween mask! It was full head mask of a dog with a moving jaw. Turned out I paid under $4.00!!!! I have so much fur.

[@lindaallen7800]

Love this tutorial !!!! You explained so much and was very complete. Headed to the lst one I missed. I am anxious to understand the 'v"....HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

[@marywood8241]

These are so adorable!!! Thank you so such!!💕💕💕

[@meadowyck]

Love them and going to try to make some for presents this year.

[@marilynyoung8477]

Ty, they are all great looking.

[@cabbylisa]

Just got all the bits i need here, except the elastic bands, been in lots of shops and no-one seems to have them! Not even hobby craft! I am really looking forward to making them. Couldn’t find any yarn that was suitable so i have bought some little Pom poms . But love what you have done with the ordinary yarn. So off out again now to buy some. Thanks for the tutorial, excellent stuff.

[@kathysnyder2078]

elastics are usually available in beauty supply shops

[@cabbylisa]

Thanks Kathy, ended up getting them at the post office. will know for next time.

[@kathyortiz4302]

I did that white yarn i love it.thank you

[@Marzeonthego]

Great minds think alike! Pam from Pam's Life did that last year with the fun fur! I tried it as well and it looks so cute! I also used fake fur that was a leftover from a previous project. It worked very well...oh..and Michaels sells a thick silicone finger that protects from the hot glue! I've used it for years and has saved my finger from burns for years!! Loved the yarn beard idea! I will be using that this year on my Santa Gnome!

[@JennySikma]

Oh wow a finger protector😁... I will look for it thanks

[@JennySikma]

Yes I did this video 11 months ago...this one is part 2 different beard choices. By the way I looked for those finger protectors... and also ask... no luck. What section will I find them in micheals?

[@carriew.4500]

@@JennySikma I found mine on Amazon and my Michael's had a Mod Podge section with hot glue supplies. Mod Podge makes hot glue molds to make different embellishments. They sold a special hot glue gun and extra long glue sticks of different colors as well as in glitter and metallic finishes. They were starting to put stuff on clearance, so not sure if they still have those items. The mod podge section was around the artists section and before sewing. Thank you for the cute idea. Got to try this! I used to work at Dollar Tree and inventory relies heavily on location! Foam cones or anything foam sells out quickly. We never had the brown raffia. But you can order online and pick up your order at your store with no shipping cost or for a cost have it delivered to your home. I believe you mentioned you live in Canada, so that will be a lot of the reason why you have very different selections. My store is little but in the next town over in Indiana, I live in Kentucky by the state line, they have four stores and two are huge! Can't wait to shop tonight, but my hubby won't like it! Please make more crafty videos! Thank you

[@carriew.4500]

Ps my store has never sold yarn! I find that really sad ☹

[@jamiebrown301]

Very Cute

[@kimwaknitz7594]

My Dollar Tree doesn’t carry yarn but I thought I might try the DT fake Swiffer dusters as a beard.

[@JennySikma]

great idea

[@lynnscarb]

Watched the first one and then this one. Amazing. Love the different beards and ideas for decorating the hat and body. Thank you so much for sharing this. 😃 You mentioned using Epsom salt for the filling. How do you like that?

[@noreen_ann1438]

I love you ideas, however, I have a suggestion, when videotaping could you put the camera in a different position as your hands are in the way a lot when working on things. Maybe put it more about you. Love your gnomes the best of anyone

[@JennySikma]

Thanks for your input...Im an amateur at this using an iPad or laptop...nothing fancy.

[@inkyfingers3447]

Too darn cute!

[@KelliesKreations]

I love Gnomes, These are so cute. I actually just found a gnome pillow. I posted a video on it. Great video thanks

[@JennySikma]

thank you Kelly, best wishes on success on your channel. I subscribed. xoxo

[@KelliesKreations]

@@JennySikma Thank you so much I appreciate it

[@julesiou12]

Adorable!

[@deborahgori7189]

fun!

[@orchidsandpeonies8316]

Instead of epsom salt you could try sand :)

[@karenplayford4919]

Hi Jenny. I'm making some of these this year and found your tutorial to be very excellent . I would like to know if you used adult white socks or youth size .

[@JennySikma]

they are adult

[@yveymf2584]

Adorable! Can I ask where you got the glue gun stand? Tfs☺️

[@JennySikma]

think at dollarama

[@debbielevand8923]

Very cute! Where is part one?

[@JennySikma]

Its on my channel too

[@NeboAllen]

It's under her description of this video. Well worth watching! 👍

[@jennyruss3160]

What do u use for the pink on the nose? Thank you! ❤

[@JennySikma]

simple blush (makeup)

[@michellehoppe4343]

Does the Epsom salts go through the sock?

[@JennySikma]

No it stays in fine
