Fall Gnome / Christmas Gnome / Dollar Tree Gnome / Cone Gnome / DIY Gnome Mittens / Cute Gnome DIY

This little guy started out in Fall and jumped all the way to the holiday season before we were done. In this easy gnome video tutorial, I will use a Dollar Tree cone, a boot ornament, and a thrift store sweater (sleeve only) to create this adorable DIY gnome.

[@barbaraness4507]

3:19 I still have my lint roller handy, and that’s because it’s what I’ve used for messes in the craft room for a long time. I did buy the cutest hand held, round little vacuum that works really quick on all the lint, and strings on my crafting table.

[@janedecker8989]

Cute! He is very cute!

So, apparently I didn't have the notification bell turned on, and I've missed SO MANY GNOMES!! But I'm good now. I do think this is my favorite voice over ever 🤣🥰

[@lindak7193]

[@SarahNenniDaher]

Whoa - WI is gettin' hot!

[@jennierollins8789]

Sarah you are so cute. You have a great personality! ☮️🌍🌲

[@SarahNenniDaher]

Aww thanks so much :)

[@barbaraness4507]

When I was nursing I worked in the ER where they had disposable suture kits , and they would throw the hemostats away! That was so wasteful! I collected some that were in a trash bin, sterilized them, and waalaa, free tools! Other buses soon caught on, and did the same to rescue the poor tools!

[@leonajstredwick9872]

Thank you for your tutorial. My only disconserting question is how did you make the boots? I couldn't find any instructions. Again thank you.

[@jennierollins8789]

☮️🌍🌲

[@juliegauchay4219]

"If you have hemostats, those will work as well . . . why do you have hemostats?" 😂 I love this little guy, but I also love your voice-overs! You totally made my day with this one. 😍🎄

[@ChrisMotsinger-mv1lw]

Great job as usual! I love him, adorable. Does his belly stick out because of where you placed the dowels? The rotund gnomes are my fave. Lol the tall skinny ones just dont make me as happy. Thanks for all you do!

[@SarahNenniDaher]

LOL Yes, when you drape the fabric over (with the seam) in combination with the positioning of the body on the boots, that gives you one rotund belly. LOL

[@renatebeasley5754]

your voice over ....won me over

[@brendablodgett7992]

Did you drink a couple cups of coffee before you did the voice over? You sound more energized during this video! 👍💗😉

[@rosieshrock8621]

97 today to hot for me in washington

[@ameliakumar7124]

You haven’t the measurements.

[@SarahNenniDaher]

The measurements I used are in the video (6.5” for hat, for example). The measurements will actually depend on the cone you’re using.
