FUN and EASY! How to Make a Sock Gnome!

[@theREmissionary]

I've just in the last few days gotten interested in learning to make gnomes, and already it has become an addiction for me! LOL This is the second video I've seen of someone adding string along with the rubber bands. It's the FIRST one I've seen do the nose this way. I like it! Now I gotta try it.

[@cynthiaroberts2960]

For your first video you did a great job! Thank you for sharing your adorable gnomes 🎉

[@mariewinterhalter9058]

I enjoyed your calm and relaxed way of presenting your cute little Gnomes. Thank You

[@Grandmarie53]

What a wonderful video. You were clear and precise, explained everything so well!❤ and these gnomes are sooo cute! Thank you!!

[@maryblaylock6545]

Thank you also for showing the many ways you can dress your gnome. Very clear directions.

[@deloresmc2659]

Colorful little guy!!! love his 🎩...HE'S GREAT

[@LisasCreationsofLove]

Just a tip, I think it's easier to add the rice to the uncut sock first, then put the rubber band on, then cut the top off where you need it. We love these!! A friend of mine and I are both gnome crazy!!!

[@slickcowgirl43]

I do the same, much easier.

[@mamadeeprice1548]

For someone who has never done this, all of these tips are amazing! Thank you!

[@marikiemarie7622]

Just use a cup.

[@donreid2439]

Great idea 👍👍👍

[@Kittyfantastic]

These gnomes are precious!!! They are expensive to buy at stores, who knew they were so easy to make and customize!! ❤️

[@deeneedler327]

Put your sock in a glass to fill with rice........so much easier!

[@denisekeeth4595]

Do not understand why anyone would give this a thumbs down, you did a great job. For a first time tutorial it was clear and concise...........well done.

[@debbieguthrie9877]

These are the best-looking sock gnomes I have seen and believe me I have seen many! Thanks for sharing.

[@elizabethhamilton4678]

Really cute. Going to make some of these for next year. This year I did snowmen. A little tip... a lint roller is great for getting any bits of Styrofoam, fur and hot glue strings off of your table and off of the craft you're making.

[@glenda6607]

I am heading to Hobby Lobby,Michaels,and the Dollar Tree to get some supplies.Can't wait to make these adorable gnomes!Thank you!

[@tenderfootvillage]

Have fun!

[@lindseyf8505]

If you had not told us this was your first video, I would have thought you had been doing this for years. Great job!

[@diannethayer4585]

Always looking for ideas for seniors . With a little preparation (some precutting), this is perfect! Excellent presentation!

[@tenderfootvillage]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mollyfien]

I found the small party hats in the cone shape work great too at the $1 store.

[@KatarinaS.]

Used TP rolls or paper towel rolls cut in half would work well too, and are totally free. Could stuff them with old paper if needed.

[@lindadagley5822]

This is a great idea ..thanks so much ..

[@lem4100]

What a clever idea incorporating the nose into the sock. Better than having to make a separate nose & attach it. THese are the cutes gnomes I've seen on youtube.

[@tenderfootvillage]

lem4100 thank you! ❤️

[@carolleakenney1341]

Seen lots of gnomes handmade and I love some of them...but yours are so gorgeous and look store bought. You did an amazing job on the gnome and the tutorial WOW... I love gnomes that are not tacky like alot of diy ones are. Yours are fantastic Thank you for doing this and thank you because now I can finally stop searching for a decent tutorial.

[@tarareed5295]

I agree!!! I've never seen them, and wanted to make them for myself. Hers are fantastic!

[@missgoldie6257]

You are a fantastic teacher! You explain WHY you do what you do and you show it. These are darling and I'm going to get on it! Merry Ho Ho Ho to your house, from ours, with gratitude.

[@maureenmcglynn3777]

I collect Gnomes and look forward to making these. I'm disabled, 80yrs.old in a few months, so will have lots to do. Thank you so much.

[@MMacAttack]

@maureen did you make any gnomes?

[@1HeatherLee]

These are absolutely adorable! Thank you so much for sharing and making it so clear on how to make these little guys 🤗

[@nancyruegsegger4259]

Fill with unpopped corn, add whole cloves and chunks of cinnamon stick for a Christmas scent.

[@christysdeals4u]

We live in the country so non-food inside is best for us!

[@louisecox9641]

Add crushed bay leaves. Keeps bugs away

[@christysdeals4u]

[@tinagagne3186]

I just love them . You explained it very well. I can't wait to make them for our Christmas church fair. Thank you for sharing.

[@CrickyMoose]

I was thinking of making a spring gnome with flowers and a lighter theme color wise ! So excited now thanks to this tutorial- thank you!!

[@marieevans100]

They are adorable

[@sharonb.7867]

And you are left-handed! Wonderful creativity flowing from us lefties! LOL

[@genevievesaunders4245]

This is really good. At least you show that you make mistakes. Helps the stress lol. I've not seen anyone NOT glue the nose. I may have to try that. Thanks again, keep up the good work!

[@sharonb.7867]

Your video is awesome! I had a little thought- when you tried the embroidery thread around the nose (leave the tails at the bottom) you could take a large eyed needle and run the thread through the nose. Where the nose hole would be on the bottom of each side - thread the needle up to the top of the nose and tie it off. It would create little nose holes. Wow that was hard to explain in words! Again you created a fantastic video!!

[@MsPepper0421]

I watched your video and believe I can make one! Your instructions are easy to understand. Thank you so much!!

[@cutsiename]

Very cute! Great process video. Who thumbs down a Gnome? Very Grinchy:( Love the Gnome who looks like he has a mustache.

[@MrPeteA]

Thank you for the vid...you made it so simple...and cost effective...looking to have a bunch of inmates make these and donate to the elderly that are in homes for the holidays!

[@hollyhasegawa4240]

OMG! I love this little gnome, I'm going to make one of my own. So glad I found your tutorial, there are so many different things you can add to him to just make him even more adorable! Thank you this is awesome.

[@barbbassano1417]

I love Your Gnome, he is beautiful and you did a wonderful video and I hope You do more

[@mamadeeprice1548]

Thank you for the tip about aluminum foil.

Elaine C. What a wonderful " Gnome class". Your Gnome came out great and I think I will give it a try. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with others.

[@myracamilo7826]

OMG....I absolutely loved your video and how beautiful your gnomes came out. Love your technique of teaching, my grand babies love gnomes and so do my neighbors kids. I think I will do my first one that size but I would love to make a giant one, they are normally very expensive. Thank you so much, can’ wait to see what else you make.

[@lindawithrow2101]

Absolutely ADORABLE...and you give solid instructions and make it so simple to make them. Very elegant looking too, and I like adding the embellishments to individualize each one with their own personality!

[@PandorasBox11]

I wanted to Thank you for such an amazing tutorial video! I’ve spent the last week gathering all the supplies needed to make these adorable gnomes and I just started making them this morning with my kids to give as gifts this Christmas! You really did a great job explaining everything! I’d love to see more videos from you!! Thank you!!

[@tenderfootvillage]

Laurie Hansen you are so very welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it! 💖

[@CanadianQueenmagenta]

Cute gnome! Thank you. Quick tip: place the sock over a glass and pour all the rice in at once. It's sturdy and no mess.

[@tenderfootvillage]

Great tip!

Yours is by far the most finished as in all edges done. Great job.tfs Pea

[@AL-il5uw]

Those are adorable! I love the guy who kind of has a mustache hanging down...like brown color fur. Thank you for explaining everything so well. 😊

[@darleneroberts4322]

I didn't see this comment so I hope I'm not repeating. I would recommend using the pellets instead of rice. Years ago I designed a floppy dragon and filled it with bird seed. If you live near fields or in the country, you can imagine what happened after I'd stored them in the based for a while. I would caution against the rice for the same reason. Gorgeous gnomes, I love them.

[@evrome6949]

The best vlogs ive watched making gonks, now to try source all items in the uk.. really like idea of the cones for the hat.

[@kkbing777]

Those are adorable!! They look like Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill from ZZ Top!!

VERY nice idea. You did great on your first video! Easy to understand, complete instructions, cute results! Thank you so much.

There is a Russian lady who makes these with foam bodies. They are firmer but cute also. I like the foam for the hat and the blush, you're so clever

[@kimmorin7847]

This has been my all time favourite video on gnome video! This was very clear and informative, yet not overly wordy! Thank you! Please keep up the videos

[@tenderfootvillage]

Kim Morin thank you for the kind words!

[@tatumsmom]

Tip girl! Put the sock in a plastic cup and wrap it around the edge. Makes filling it with rice so much easier and less mess!

[@joolzg1936]

I'm thinking kitty litter ( dust free) would be a great filler. It's cheap too.

[@Whatsername4224]

@@joolzg1936 That's genius!

[@MimiDidi121]

[@helenbruder3861]

I started making snowmen and want to do gnomes yet. After stuggling with the rice I found and easy solution...put rice in a pitcher and I cut the top odd a 2 liter bottle to use as a funnel. It works great you can grip the sock around neck old bottle fill the funnel and squish the sock as you fill, no mess!

[@MMacAttack]

With rice it can result in bugs ( yes, rice has dormant insects in it😨) So maybe it’s better to use something else for the base

[@pamelac49]

YAY!! For left handed at least We are in our right minds. Love the knomes!

[@debbiestrotz6917]

Love this tutorial! I'm currently obsessed with these gnomes so now I wanna make a bunch of them! Thanks for the lesson!

[@donnalewis7728]

Great idea to freeze the rice. Never thought of that. I live Hawaii and we have no $ stores. It’s after Christmas, so will be making for this years Christmas. These are so cute, so happy I found you.

Great job for your first video ! Did an awesome job explaining and could understand you perfectly !!

[@skipper523]

I saw another video that said you could add a bay leaf inside to keep bugs away/out of the rice. Cannot confirm nor deny said claim 😉 TYFS!!! Attempting gnome #1 tonight!! ❤️

These are so cute. I’ve made snowmen using same idea, I fill the sock to desired height and then cut the sock. So much easier that struggling with rice.

Great job.....just a suggestion ..... use a paper towel tube to insert into the sock to help pour the rice or poly to fill it.

This was great .. love love love them , now i have to make 1 or 2 or more lol your a great teacher

[@debraycrew9307]
