For those of you asking where the boots came from I bought them at HomeSense & Walmart, but I have seen similar boots at Dollar Tree and other craft stores during the holidays!!!

[@Jnt2252]

I use the unscented bath salts from dollar tree to fill the socks. Works wonders.

[@marycook6715]

I use the bath dalts also

[@judytaylor4900]

I went to Dollar Tree and got the small knit gloves at winter and cut the finger tips off. Got 5 pair of gloves for a dollar!

[@patriciagriffin3142]

I’m in love! He is THE most adorable little man I have ever, ever seen. In our household we all agree that he needs a cousin who will live with us!

[@CraftySherCupcake]

Awwwww, if you make him a cousin I wanna see!😘

[@melbabowen4389]

I live in very humid SC and rice does just fine in the gnomes. I’ve made 100s. I also made rice heating neck pads with rice 20 years ago. I’m still using it

[@briannas.9310]

Im using rice sock to heat my sheets right now Lol

[@jrgiles100]

I was hgoung to say I made hot pads with rice..what we did was spray water with essential oils on the rice hand baked it in, still have the hot pads today

[@lindadagley5822]

I put my rice in the freezer for a week ..get the little eggs out. . I put a little rice at the bottom and use stuffing for the rest...I have snowshoes and skies for my feet..living in Canada..love the boots ..

[@catezaida8081]

I have watched several gnome building videos, but I have to say that YOUR little gnomes actually are the cutest in my opinion. That find of the tiny boots was the find of the decade for sure and for certain! What a stroke of genius! I too will be making Christmas gnomes for gifts because of your video and how cute your idea turned out. Thank you for sharing, I truly enjoyed this!

[@debimoseley3590]

I love that you talk slowly for us to be working together

[@terrilombardo8382]

I discovered how to make the boots from scratch, so now I too can make your FANTASTIC gnomes!

[@paulakelly9244]

Love this little guy! Something to keep in mind for sturdiness is after you use the rubber bands tie off with string or embroidery floss. Rubber bands deteriorate and your gnome won't hold up. Tying off each one will be permanent. Great tutorial!

[@pattyfoster7465]

That's probably why she used twine over the rubber band.

[@TinaKazarian]

Oh my gosh, I couldn’t think of better way to enjoy my morning coffee then watching u make these adorable gnomes. U my friend are the best tutorial teachers out there, u literally explain things so well, love it and love u. TFS yet another beautiful creation. Have a awesome day 🤗🥰💖

[@Empress888ER]

OK KZbin don't play with me. You know I did not dislike this video. No really I think I did it today when I was making my gnome. I was so Excited! I found the cutest lil boots at Target this year. Tfs

[@jamiesmith1343]

Add some bay leaves to the rice for bugs, or moth balls for mice. These are adorable, thanks for sharing!!!

[@CraftySherCupcake]

Great idea!!😉

[@lgcuzscienceyo2304]

OMGness, I made my first one tonight...squeeeee!!!!!!! He is awesome and I am excited to gift him to my best friend for Christmas! I am 1/2 way through my second one for another friend. I need to go grab a few more materials so I can make a third one for my mom. Thank you for inspiring me to get crafty again! COVID has sucked out a lot of my creativity brain cells, but this project has me all kinds of inspired and excited.

[@jeanvenditti1760]

A bag of beans from the $ tree works well. That’s what I use to make my gnomes. I don’t open them I just stuff them in the sock.

[@mattwright6249]

O do too. Our family just loves these gnomes, Looking forward to making the easter gnomes. Bless you for your guidance.

[@cherifenton1182]

You could have a little bird peeking out from his beard :) Thank you for the video, very cute!

[@henrydavid8450]

Hello Cheri

[@noelleboehm1142]

I love Gnomes. I can't wait to make a Gnome. I love Dollar Tree and I go there all the time. I can't wait to learn Gnomes.

[@RAZORWEEZL1]

So adorable. You can probably use newborn baby boots too. They are inexpensive and you can cover them with fabric and stuff them or color them with fabric ink. What a fantastic job you did!

[@tomelliott3872]

You chuckled as soon as you gave him a moustache.....all my store bought gnomes WILL have moustaches TODAY after seeing him almost come to life.👍

[@stalean0301]

I've been watching a few of these gnome building videos, but yours is the best use of resources I've seen and very economical compared to the others (which are quite expensive to construct imho). Kudos to you and your innovations. Thanks so much!

[@henrydavid8450]

Hello

[@sterlinggrigg1150]

These are the first gnomes that I have even liked. Thank you for sharing. Nancy

[@idareandevers9211]

I enjoyed watching put the Gnomes together with simple things. Thanks

[@heatherstream8134]

You could also add longer legs and "sit" a gnome on a shelf. Goodness I need to make these as part of my "Handmade Holiday" gift idea!!!

[@louisecox9641]

Love that idea!

[@sallyturner1669]

Stick a bay leaf in the rice to repel bugs. There’s a couple different things to use but that’s the only one I can remember off hand.

[@c0l33ng0r33]

Peppermint to keep mice away.

[@regvass4037]

I can’t stand how cute this is. I need the red buffalo check since it goes with my family room decor. Hope I can find those items at this late date!

[@elizabethvallely4044]

WOW! Sooo Cute love you give him arms and little boots! Thank you for sharing!!! Stay safe...

[@PrairieMom]

He is adorable. Making this guy with my 3 daughters this coming week when they get home from their respective universities. We will have a blast I am sure.

[@joanne3799]

One of the cutest gnomes, love the whole thing, just looking at him makes me smile.

[@janieleykauf3303]

I L♥️VE all your Gnomes. I'd love it if you'd make more Gnomes.

[@trudyachenbach4268]

Wonderful take on simply made gnome! Thanks for the instructions.

[@carolbeers967]

I saw you for the first time this morning (2 am) wow! You are so refreshing as an instructor! Thank you for taking the time to share your time and talents with us. I am so inspired to get started on my new gnome adventure and you really helped me out. Thank you 😊 💓

[@CraftySherCupcake]

Awwww thank you for all the kind words! Happy crafting!😘

[@karenpalmer9988]

This is the cutest Gnome I've seen made so far... The boots really make him look so professional! I hope I can find the tree skirt, and fir covered stockings so I can make him! My sister loves them too! Maybe we could have a craft night, and make us one! Thank you for such an awesome tutorial...Love him!!!

This is adorable!

Very cute gnomes. Love them. Nice Job. Sandy Sipolski

[@dalemills7926]

We cannot use rice in humidity , you're right lol ..but lentils are the best choice I found for Gnomes..love it..and pillow Stuffing is a perfect choice ..omygoodness my polyfill jacked up to three THREE, times the price..ridiculous..I use a 40 percent off coupon for faux fur trim at JoAnns fabrics ..love your gnomes thanks ..us professional crafters use what we need where we can find it ....I am a grandmother teaching crafts in our retirement community..many of them love beautifully made items so we make it affordable for them!

[@pattivargasvargas8076]

The cutest Gnome I have seen. I have watched multiple sites for Gnome making and your's is just outstanding. Thank you for sharing and giving us the fir tip. I bet there won't be a fir stocking left in the DT, but I will run over and hope to find some. Thanks again.

[@nicolemckenna4885]

I agree! The cutest I have ever seen too!

[@rockythedogo367]

Agreed. This one is the cutest I have seen also

[@aliciamcguire4008]

Agree 100%!

[@Salmonde_At_Home]

Your little gnome is so stinkin' cute! I love him.

[@scribbles728]

Wow I think he came out so cute. He looks awesome you did a great job. Thanks for sharing.

[@lisaconnelly7731]

Reuse plastic grocery bags make great stuffing especially if you want to put your decorations outside. 😉

[@kathywoodruff9141]

I just started making gnomes. You inspired me to go outside my comfy zone. I call him my Scottish Gnome. I has some DT ornaments from last year and I haven't used them. I used the pair of red boots but I painted them black and added a different rin. I love it!!! TFS Love your's

[@lorifriel2302]

Brand new to your channel and I absolutely love how simple your tutorial is. No fancy or expensive supplies needed plus using up every little bit of that stocking, you’ve got that cute little guy nailed!. You’ve inspired me. Great job ❤X

[@sandys7118]

Unpopped popcorn works well to. Great idea and so cute!

[@dawnweeber6400]

FYI, It would be good to put some yarn or cotton thread around the rubber bands as the rubber will get old much faster and snap. Just to help with longevity of those very very very cute gnomes that I will be making. Thank You

[@roxannamiguel7291]

I LOVE IT!!!!Just too cute! Thank you for letting us see how it came to life, and for teaching us how to try our hands at making one. Thanks!

[@cindyb3028]

I love these! I'm going to have to make some. I tried looking for the stockings for our mantle but didn't have any luck. If anyone is looking for material, Wal-Mart sells 60" of red/black buffalo fleece on line for $3.99. Great deal. Thanks for sharing❤️

[@LadyBereness812]

Cindy B; I don’t have the fleece but I bought a huge amount of the Black n White Buffalo Check Plaid fabric at JoAnns awhile back at 60% off. Plus it’s double wide fabric! I’m using it all throughout my home. Hoping I can use it to create these Gnomes too. If I can’t locate the boots I may just make them long, dangly legs similar to the arms!!! Holiday {{{ HUGGZ }}} ~Su

[@cindyb3028]

Sudan Napoli Berens I also bought a bunch of buffalo fabric from Joanns also. I always shop there for their sales. I stocked up on the boots to make gnomes everytime I saw them along with the snowman hats for diy's.

[@dabbylynn]

Glad I come across your video.

[@elvahash5239]

He is wayyyyyyyy to cute. Awesome job. Thankyou!!!!

I am all about the gnomes. Lots of videos out there on how to make one. I really like yours alot. I will be on the lookout for supplies. Thanks

[@amandasimpson9394]

Out of all of the gnome tutorials on KZbin, your's is by far my favorite! I make a lot of crafts from the Dollar Tree, but I can't believe that these are made of mostly Dollar Tree items! Thank you for sharing this with us! I'm definitely going to be making some of these soon. 😍

Love. Your. Ideas for using other things to make. Your craft idea.

[@0110rroberts]

if people are worried about bugs etc if you are using rice or beans you can put a couple bay leaves in with it, or whole cloves, i like to sent mine so i use things like star anise and cinnamon sticks as well. you can use coffee beans. all kinds of stuff.

[@HappyLittleDrills-Carol]

This is the cutest thing, I've not seen any plaid Christmas stuff on any dollar tree around me😥 but love that gnome 😍

[@lisafenn4238]

I have literally this minute discovered your channel and this gnome is freakin adorable.

[@marycook6715]

I did the same with the Santa boot ornaments. I even drove 20 miles to another town to get what they had left of them

[@pamvandijk8636]

Just saw this ...omgoodness cutest gnomes ever..lam now on the hunt for boots ..hope they have them this year ...thanks for sharing ..

[@dianeericson7900]

Hint to find boots: just in case you hadn't thought of it, the old vegetable patch dolls used boots similar to this. I'm thinking garage/ yard/ tag/ rummage sales might have some. Even if they are scuffed and dirty.... Could also get creative with regular doll shoes: add a tube or make a roll out of any paper goods, sit it upright in the shoe, and use trims to disguise the "seam" at the ankle. Could cover with pieces of sock you aren't using. Picturing "spats" as well, made out of sock or any fabric... even felt.. Have fun!

[@sylvianick94]

So totally adorable. I love the addition of those boots!

[@francesfehrman741]

Those boots you can get anywhere they sell ornaments Walmart Hobby Lobby any places sell ornaments

[@solo34amos]

FYI…rubber bands tend to dry up and break after time so better to tie with string or twine and even add some hot glue to the inside of where you gathered the sock and nose material.

Just a thought, reinforce the rubber bands with string or yarn, over time the rubber bands will dry out and crumble.
