I ADORE your upbeat PERSONALITY! I'm an old-school Gram crafter & could listen to your voice ALL DAY! You're one in a million hostesses & you genuinely know to speak sentences properly...just plain FUN!!

[@SarahNenniDaher]

Oh wow, Joyce, thank you! And yes, it's all about the fun - I mean, we're crafting :)

[@maryanttila2519]

Awesome. I can't wait to make this guy. My grandsons are really "bothered" that my gnomes don't have faces! Thank you Sarah, this will make them happy this Christmas.

[@georgettesledge6079]

I just love this 💯 who knew the face with eyes would be so simple. I thank you from the bottom 🙏 of my ❤️, I would love to see more from you.👍👍👍👍👍

[@elainec.4398]

This is a really sweet Gnome and his face is perfect. You can not look at him and not smile.

[@sarahbuckley1023]

My favourite has to be the Christmas 🎄 gnome

[@joydalton4987]

Garland gnome is my favorite

[@judithhemeon9407]

Always wanted to give some gnomes a face - with your detailed instructions now I can 😊 - going to fashion a tiny pair of glasses to sit on the nose of a Santa I will be making for a Christmas gift . 🦋🇨🇦 Blessings from Nova Scotia, Canada

[@SarahNenniDaher]

Oh wow, Judith, the glasses would be so cute!

[@barbaraness4507]

I never thought I’d become obsessed with making gnomes, but it’s happened! I’m sure you can understand how making one just leads to more ideas, occasions, and cute ideas. I’m actually having trouble focusing on the other Christmas gifts that I need to get done that aren’t gnomes.

[@SarahNenniDaher]

Haha Barbara, truer words were never spoken! :) ❤️

[@ritalomax2472]

No favorite...I like them all!!😊😊

[@peggycomer1]

I like the twine wrapped hat.

[@gayeofPA]

I just now made four! I'm so happy. I wasn't as professional as you are, and they still turned out looking nice. I like the eyes; I think the children I made them for will appreciate eyes. Thanks!

[@elainec.4398]

I LOVE these little Gnomes and can't wait to make them. Many Thanks.

[@denisem8957]

I just discovered this neat tip and wanted to share. If you take the longe spongey rollers from dollar tree (i don't know what they are called) push down, you'll see a white tip that can be removed. They make for great eyes! And you can still use the roller for arms or legs. This has worked great for me, i hope this helps someone. Happy Holidays! 🎅🤶🎁⛄

[@denisem8957]

Or a great pair of glasses on some wire! 🤗🎅🤶

[@aprilmadison8221]

How can I pick a favorite when I absolutely love all of them! I'm having so much fun going through your Mix and making gnomes on the size. New ideas all the time. I love it Sarah!🥰♥️😚

Aw, thank you so much! If you ever want to see anything that you can't find, just let me know. I love a challenge. ;)

[@lindak7193]

A challenge? OMG? That's me too! I did that with face masks all year. New pattern?? Oh sure! I will try it! I have oodles..all hand stitched! Aren't we crazy? Now gnomes too..LOL!

This Gnome is really adorable. I enjoyed the video. Thank you. I am trying to find out what type of faux fur everyone is using. So Kant out there

[@oswaldbreaux6062]

Many not Kant

[@SarahNenniDaher]

Hi there, Eleanor. Thank you so much for your sweet compliment and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Most of the faux fur I use is Mongolian (3" pile). It comes in a ton of colors but I tend to stick with frosted gray and white, but small cuts are available on Etsy for the colors. I buy most of my frosted gray on Amazon by the yard but sometimes Joann's and other fabric stores will have it in stock. I hope that helps. Let me know if I can help out or answer any questions - I just love making these little guys and gals.

[@BIGBOOTS1312]

I just got into making gnomes this year! yours are precious! these are a big hit for me, I'll be trying a few like yours, thanks for sharing :)

New subscriber I Love it Sarah you are so crafty and a good teacher to follow as well. One question how much we could sell it! Thank you for your time and sharing may God bless you...

[@SarahNenniDaher]

Well I'm so glad to have you here, Denise. As for these little cuties, you can sell any handmade gnome for whatever price your market will bear. There are a lot of groups on Facebook (some are even regional) where you can get an idea for pricing. Good luck - whether you show at craft shows or sell on Etsy or Facebook marketplace, I sure do hope you have a fun time making these little cuties.

[@windchaser12]

[@crystalphillips7123]

[@mandybaker2270]

Where do you source you beard fabric please? I live in the UK and have tried looking but not much of the long haired faux :( by the way I absolutely love your videos thank you xx

[@SarahNenniDaher]

I buy it in bulk from Amazon, usually (search Mongolian fur). Fabric.com is another great source for it, but again,, I usually buy it by the yard (or three). Many of my readers and viewers can find some on Etsy - maybe look there to see if you have any local / semi-local? And thank you so much for watching my little channel - I am honestly so lucky to get to share these with you all.

[@jenniferd5644]

I dont know if it was mentioned, but what kind of pens were used for the eyes? Thank you in advance!

[@SarahNenniDaher]

I used Posca paint pens, but anything will work.

[@veronicarocha3228]

Thank you for the idea on how to put a face on the gnomes. I do make them like you do but use rice or beans to help weigh them down & cotton to fill them up. I like to leave a little of the top of the gnome to give the hat body*;0)

[@SarahNenniDaher]

Yes, some of my taller gnomes get A LOT of poly beads, rice, or beans. I did use coffee beans once and learned my lesson that they should be dried first... It was a mess. :)

[@denisem8957]

Really festive, makes you say "awe".. what size beads did you use? Im def gonna try this. Great tutorial!

[@SarahNenniDaher]

Thank you so much for the kind words, Denise. They are definitely "awww-inducing" little guys. :) For the nose, the bead is about 1/4 inch (6 mm).

I used a half inch wood ball for this one, just because I had a ton of them from Amazon. ;) You can use a similarly-sized wood bead or even a pom pom if you have one.

You answer so quick! Thanks for all your help! I have beads with holes so I may try them first

[@patrizialombardi9330]

Per cortesia qualcuno i può dire dove si compra la barba degli gnomi non riesco a trovarla.

[@SarahNenniDaher]

The gnome beard fur is called "Mongolian fur" in white (frosted gray is also very popular). I buy it at fabric stores and on Etsy - not sure where you are, but it's called Mongolian everywhere and has a 3" inch pile. The link to the Etsy shop is in the description if you want to see what shipping would be for you.

[@melaniem442]

I made this and he kept falling over. I think I am gonna try with a jar lid for more stability.

[@SarahNenniDaher]

Oh no, Melanie. You can use a jar lid or even a round piece of cardboard. Most of the time it's the lack of weight in the bottom in proportion to the height and weight of the hat. I usually add quite a bit of weight to them, pick them up and drop them - if they don't move, they're good to build on.

Just so you know, that fur is no longer available on Amazon 😢 Where do you get your paint pens?

[@SarahNenniDaher]

Thank you for letting me know. I linked an alternative from a great shop on Etsy - the best part is that she will give you less than a yard, so it’s more cost effective. I get my Posca paint pens (the fine tips) on Amazon. You can use a small paint brush and acrylic paint if you have that on hand.
