Thank you so much for sharing how to do the beard.in this video ♡

[@sherryklepper2493]

I really enjoy your tutorials on making gnomes.

[@terrisanchez1255]

Thank you for making it look so easy! I will definitely be making one (or more!) soon!

[@wendygreen4386]

I'm going to Hobby Lobby tomorrow! Can't wait to make one! Thank you for the great videos!

[@michelleangello8083]

Hi, I love your gnoms the best! I watched the gnom diy you put up and I thought I could be wrong but I thought I heard you say that the beard was in that video 4in high by 5in wide? These demensions seem smaller at 3in by 4. Could it be either or? Thanx ☺️

[@marthahumphrey3849]

Thank you for the video. I want to attempt to make one. What did you use for the nose? Can feet be added?

[@amyeethomas2495]

This comment is going to sound so weird but 🤷‍♀️ lol. When I was younger I had these rave style leg warmers. We calledd them fluffies. They were basically a band of elastic at knee to hold it up with this type of fur in bright colors like rainbow, tye dye.. I had a black and pink pair o special ordered from UK 🇬🇧. Man I really wish I still had them cause it would be perfect to use for this!! 😆

[@lorifernandez3880]

ditto!

[@sallyturner1669]

I use scissors all the time when cutting fur, you need to snip the backing and not the fur. It goes faster then using a blade.

[@anitamitchell6434]

I'd love to see you make the girl one you have in your other video. These are addicting, lol.

[@suestoons]

I agree. Love watching and listening to you create and would enjoy seeing you make a girl too! Hmmm ... can we make Halloween Gnomes? Is that a thing? ♥Can we make it a thing? lol OH! Girl Witch Gnomes for Halloween. We definitely need *that* tutorial video!

[@barbarakronengold4825]

I just started making gnomes. I went crazy buying materials for the gnome. My room is filled up with fabric, socks, hats and so much more! Now I am so overwhelmed I don’t know how to focus on which gnome to make. Any ideas on what to do? Thank you, Merry Christmas! Barbara

[@tenderfootvillage]

Hi Barbara! I totally understand what you are saying! I suggest picking 1 style of sock gnome to start with and then when you are ready, try out making one of the standing gnomes. I have a membership club where I teach how to make the gnomes right along with you on a Live tutorial, you should check it out! tenderfootvillage.com/products/tenderfoot-village-makers-membership

[@MrsJJepsen]

OMG I did the same thing, I have so much supplies and don’t know what to do next!!!

[@theREmissionary]

Funny you say that. I just got interested in making gnomes a few days ago, and already I've accumulated enough supplies to make a roomful - and I've only made two so far!! LOL

[@romanzeekross]

Wonderful!!!

[@sallymount3979]

I don't like you very much. After watching your KZbin Tutorial on how to make gnomes, I CAN'T STOP MYSELF FROM MAKING GNOMES! By Christmas my town may be overrun with short little men. It may become a National Emergency. All because of you (Really, thank you. It's so much fun)

[@lorikashefinejad3327]

Sally Mount I’m right there with you. I watched her first video and fell in love. Now I’m obsessed!

[@suestoons]

@Sally Mount: You'll have to see my reply to Anita Mitchell's comment. I want to make Halloween Girl Witch Gnomes a thing and need the tutorial for *that*!

[@lorikashefinejad3327]

Sue Werner yes!!! I’ve been buying little witches hats but I can’t quite get them right.

[@suz57annis9]

Thank you

[@donnamahanna7357]

Does Hobby Lobby ever put their beard material on sale. My son, Mom (who is in a memory care home) and I will be making these to sell this Christmas! So grateful for your tutorials!

[@tenderfootvillage]

Donna Mahanna you can always use one of their 40% off coupons but they do have that material on sale periodically.

[@number1nanaof2]

Donna Mahanna They do have a 40% off for one regular priced item every week. Check their ad, or go on line.

[@janeschierup6256]

What about using sand, kitty litter etc to fill the body which would be heavy enough to keep the body heavy enough?

[@theREmissionary]

Don't know if this helps any, but I've just started doing these in the last two days, and I used pebbles from my back yard. They're nice and round and FREE. And it only took a few in each gnome...the rest of the space I filled with fiberfill.

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

=) very cool. Thank you. =)

[@lindadagley5822]

You think it's best to use rice or foam from a old pillow...???

[@joyceengland8781]

I’m not tenderfoot but I never use food in mine because of bugs, mice, humidity. Glass marbles in bottom and fiberfill to fill it up. I sell mine or use them for gifts and I may have them a while or store them year to year.

[@sharlafenwick4056]

Use both in 1 gnome. Rice in bottom to add stability & fluff in body. Keeps gnome light & not so heavy. If you wanna use it as a door stop use all rice.

[@susierock8229]

I'll have to look at Michaels for the beard material? I won't shop at Hobby Lobby.

[@tenderfootvillage]

Michaels has it. So does Joann’s

[@number1nanaof2]

SusieRock 822 What’s wrong with Hobby Lobby?

[@KelleysQuiltsandCruises]

I found the fur in the trims section at Fabricland. Even on sale it was a bit expensive though. Now I can make about 20 gnomes if I want however....

[@lindadagley5822]

I ordered from Amazon...but also had a small sweater with faux fur...should make 10 gnomes..Amazon takes forever to come ..
