Making a gnome using foam cones

How to make a simple foam cone gnome. This tutorial is designed to help out the beginning gnome makers but hopefully give everyone some ideas in their gnome making.

[@lynnebash2278]

thank you for all of the tips on how to do this without spending a fortune

[@denisewhite1329]

love that you take the time and show step by step on making these gnomes. Thank you Duane.

[@duanedking8498]

Thank you Denise.

[@francrouch9347]

I'll be making my first gnome today... I've watch multiply videos and yours is the one I'll be following! Great instructions, but the most important two things is I'm able to actually see what your doing and hear you! No annoying sound, just your clear voice.

[@duanedking8498]

Wishing you the best on your gnome making adventures, Fran. Thank you so much I really hope you enjoy your crafting.

[@user-yu4mn9lt9q]

I absolutely love Gnomes. Your video is one of the best I've seen! You went slower than most, you took the time to really show us what to do. I am actually going to try to make this, all because of your teaching. Thank you ever so much! Please please please let us know when you are going to make more Gnomes! I will be there right with you. You did Fantastic! God Bless You!

[@duanedking8498]

Glad it was helpful! Bless you. I hope you do give the gnome creation a try. Please feel free to follow my KZbin channel and I hope it inspires you. Thank you.

[@gloriaweaver4286]

I simply love the demonstration and easy instructions of the making of this gnome! You take your time and the filming is easy to follow!

[@user-bb6dw1ei5h]

Yes east to follow and to watch. Well done… and he doesn’t do it so fast we get lost

[@happylabs1]

Oh my goodness these are the absolute most adorable gnomes I have seen anywhere ❣️ I love your video. Your voice is calming and enjoyable to listen to and I like how you're taking the time to explain everything. So many ideas in your video that I've never thought of to do. Thanks so much!

[@duanedking8498]

Thank you so much! I truly appreciate you taking the time to respond. Hope you enjoy your crafting.

[@jeanniebauske2489]

I love your work. I WATCH LOTS OF GNOME CRAFTERS AND YOU'RE THE BEST. HOPE YOU FIND TIME TO DO MORE SHOWS. I would really like to see one on patriotic themes.

[@duanedking8498]

Thank you. I love the patriotic theme gnomes too. Will have to play with the idea more.

[@lindawall6945]

Thank you for showing exactly how to make gnome ... I love how yours turn out!

[@duanedking8498]

Thank you so much Linda.

[@carolpiesyk5259]

I admit, I watched a lot of different gnome making videos. Most of them made gnomes using socks and stuffing them. I saw your video and I really liked how simple it looked. I make 2 and 3/4 gnomes this past weekends. Although, I did take some ideas from the different videos, I mostly used your method, with a couple exceptions. The first exception was the shoes, but I will probably make shoes like what you make later when I make smaller gnomes. Although, I did make one with a felt body cover like you did, I made the others using some socks from the Dollar Tree that I had already picked up. The other thing I did differently, (different from any of the videos that I watched. Is I found some bendable curlers at the Dollar Tree, I cut each one in half and used them for arms. That way their arms could bend. I glued a bead on the cut end of the curler to use for a hand.

[@quiltmomma5157]

I like that you show the finished project at the first. So many crafters jump right into the tutorial and it’s kind of a mystery project. This way I can visualize what I’m doing.

[@duanedking8498]

Thank you and I agree I like to see the finished project first too.

[@lisamishaga6671]

I've never seen a gnome made this way and I Love It! I love everything about it, they are not only adorable but they look professional. You are very clever. I also like that you explained it completely step by step, I appreciate that. You really did a good job. I wasn't bored once which rarely happens so a great big Thank YOU to you. I can't wait to see if you have other videos.

[@duanedking8498]

Thank you so much! I am glad to hear you like this style of gnome making. These gnomes have been very easy to make and accessories. Yes I do have several other gnome videos posted on KZbin. Thank you again Lisa.

[@patboyer6384]

Best tutorial ever, I have lots of American girl shoes to put to good use, thank you so much. 😊💖

Those shoes should work nicely! Great idea!

[@awilmot2003]

You are a wonderful teacher. Thank you. Also I love that you didn't have music playing in background. I find it very annoying with hearing issues. So kudos for a wonderful video. Only thing. Could you add you pattern measurements for beard hat shoes etc so I quickly have them.

[@jessicaservais6221]

[@Rosejohnsonjams]

I made my own pattern for beard and shoes out of cardboard and wrote their measurements on them. I also cut bigger or small around the patterns depending on the size of body I use. Yes he is a wonderful teacher. I'm starting my 4 Gnome. I love them ❤️🧙

Thank you...Never thought of cones..Ive made Gnomes with rice but when i stored them over the summer, the humidity got to the rice and got moldy and smelly, had to toss them so this is great!!! Merry Christmas!

[@duanedking8498]

Merry Christmas. The cone is a great alternative and I find using the cone makes it easier to attach legs.

[@butterfly4591]

I love your tutorials, there jam packed full of information about what your making. Theres no annoying music and your not patronising in the way you speak to us. I learn so much when I watch your tutorials and I can watch them over and over. Sometimes when I'm really upset I watch them because the environment in which there created is so calm they do hurt my head. Thankyou so much for being the creator you are and for sharing your video's and channel on KZbin with us. 🧙‍♂️

This Gnome is so cute 🤗 . In my childhood there were some creepy gnomes like characters. Stories and such. Was born early enough to see weird things in the 70's as a child. Of course stories, pictures,decoration, etc,..,"BUT THIS ", I can see cuddly 🤗.

[@duanedking8498]

Yes unfortunately gnomes and mythological creatures use to be very scary. Now crafters are making a number of beautiful “cuddly” gnomes.
