• How to make a cute San...
Freezing your bag of rice as soon as you bring it home from the store and leaving it in the freezer for at least four days will kill the adult bugs and possibly their eggs. (freezer time may vary upon the research you do) It’s your personal choice what you fill your gnomes with. Just have fun making them!
Miriam's Crafting Cottage Cute Gnomes so easy who doesn’t have odd socks 🧦
You can also mix some food-grade diatomaceous earth in with the rice and it will kill any type of bugs and their eggs. It is non-toxic and I use it all the time. If it is windy, I cover my mouth when applying it because it is a fine powder. Also, I mix it with water and use it as a spray.
@@wiseowls117 we use it for natural flea control too. Please be sure to cover your nose too. Even though it's natural and organic it can really harm your lungs.
@@trollyforest2618 Amen. I had to argue with two different older ladies about this same thing. Terrible management for not showing their employees the ins and outs on things in this department ( or at least a howt oli st behind the counter for them to see and know how).
@@wiseowls117 NO worries it won't hurt you if it gets into your mouth or nose thankfully. A lot of us with Lyme Disease and RMSF use it to detox and on our gardens a lot etc. I have asthma and a co- infection that affects my lungs and this does wonders for my lungs.
Inspiring video, thank you for sharing! I volunteer at a resale shop that helps support homeless women and children in my local area. I found most of all the things I needed at the store and made two of these little cuties today to sell. One of them didn't even make it out of the back room before another volunteer fell in love with it. Your video is so good that I had no trouble making them and they look absolutely adorable! Kudos to you!
Great gnome recipe. We now have a dozen hanging around for Christmas.
About to raid my sock drawer....must have gnomes 😁
Could u still make nose ok with poly fill?
Oh!💡Little baby sock gnomes on house slippers!
Of all of the videos on Christmas gnomes, you have the best by far. Your teaching and demonstrations are spot on. Thank you!! All of my kids and grandkids are getting one this year.
Cute to place a pair of mini sunglasses on his nose
Zztop
And if you can not find sunglasses, grab in the greeting card section the sunglasses stickers. Stick to card stock paper, cut out to size and one Dan of hot glue between the eyes and glasses will stick
Goodness this is so cute and easy to make thank you for sharing.
" LOOOOVE THIS !!! ADORABLE FOR SURE and SO easy. If you want it to stand, maybe a bottle cap placed inside the sock before you fill with the rice,will provide a stable platform (??) What can you use in place of the fur since it is expensive ?. OH, and maybe adding some poupurri for fragrance to the rice or essential oil would be nice... maybe?? Just thinking as you were going along. Thanks !!
Lots of great suggestions..... thanks! You could also make his beard out of yarn. It would be a little more work, but it would be really cute too. I always use a discount coupon when I buy fur. You’re right it is expensive! Have a Merry Christmas!🎄
OMG he is so darn cute, need to make some. Thanks
These are ADORABLE!!
He is darling!! I ❤️Gnomes and have been wanting to make them. Thank you for the great tutorial! 😉💕👍🏼
Very cute little ones 🎄🎄🎄
Very nice it's amazing how you can make so much out of so little love this
So stinking cute
Adorable great job ❤️ You’re so creative
That is so cute never would have thought of making that thank you so much for sharing that is cute as a button
So cute, love all the tips
So clever !
I had a terrible time with the fur and my gnome ended-up looking like a fat tomato....i love him anyway
Hahaha! 😄
Sooo sweet
Cutest thing EVER!!!! 😍
I never heard about getting bugs in the rice and I've made snowman's with it for gifts😳😳
This is the first I've heard it too! I hope my rice in the cupboard isn't full of bugs, and bugs eggs, yuk!!!!
Beverly same here.
Fab Video! I hope we can make one as good as yours.
What kind if fur/ how much and is their a pattern for the fur?
I bought faux fur at Joann’s fabric and used one of their coupons. I didn’t have a pattern but cut the faux fur in a 4 1/2”X 4 1/2” square. Then I rounded two of the sides to make the bottom of his beard. Thanks for watching!
So cute! Ya know what might be nice is to put some spices like cinnamon sticks and cloves in with the rice. Then he will be cute and smell good too! :)
Excellent idea!!!
Love that idea!!!
That's a brilliant idea!!! Thanks. I'm going to do that.
Smartest idea ever. If you add a bay leaf to the mix the bugs will stay away too
@@LisaCSCO
Great tip, thanks Lisa! 👍👍😊 ❤
I've watched other ladies, you really taught me something that none of them mentioned. It was how you cut the fur from in back, and then, Pull. How neat! Thank you! Use a blush brush to apply the blush, it goes on easier and quicker, than with a small brush.
Looking forward to seeing more ideas from you!
Tom Valveede I’m so glad that I had a tip that could help......... and thank you for the brush tip! I hope you’ve had a chance to make one of those adorable gnomes!
@@miriamscraftingcottage8980 I am making a gnome from your tutorial now. My 1st one ever. =0)
I am not a gnome person but I wanted ideas for crafts to do with my kids and I am so glad I watched this. What a brilliant and informative tutorial. Not only was it clear and straight to the point but I absolutely loved how much you spoke about his personality and gave him a little persona as you were making him. It made the video quite magical. Definitely going to be making some gnomes with my kids now. Thank you for sharing this.
I love how you’re falling in love with him as you make this. So cute. Thanks n
Yes! Me too!
Me too. She’s like a sweetheart.
Have you ever watched the Jenny Jones cooking channel here? She's super sweet and funny too. She's the same Jenny Jones that had that talk show years ago.
@@debbietencza190 I’ll be sure to look her up. Yes I know the show you’re referring to. 😃
@@johannebrunner6477 You'll love it!
That nose stole my heart! Great video~I am sooo doing this for Christmas! :) Wondering if underneath the beard, you could hide a gift card pocket maybe?
That's a great idea!! Love it!
I love your idea to hide a gift card!
Rice needs to be frozen so you don’t get little bugs. I use cat litter, the gravel kind, not expensive and doesn’t get bugs. Easy to store and stands up better. 👍
Michele Conley Eckert bay leaf or chili pepper will stop that
Bugs??
I like the cat litter better
I've never heard that you can freeze rice to kill weevils before... good to know.
If you freeze the rice, will it never get bugs after you make the gnomes? Or must you keep in freezer?
Cutest gnomes Ive seen and your tutorial is great! Im going to have gnomes everywhere lol
Yes! Gnomes everywhere!
The rice would be easy to put in the sock using a Ball canning funnel.
I recycle plastic bottles to fill bird feeders. They would work well for these too.
I have an honest-to-goodness question. How in the world could you watch this video and give it a thumbs down?????? I LOVED it! I am a gnome making fool!! lol!
I know! Over 400 dislikes???????
Jealous people 🙄
I agree completely!
Doesn’t make sense, must be a bunch of Scrooges!
I wondered the same thing🤦♀️
Haters be hatin
So adorable!!! Your comments are so funny "Oh, isn't he cute!!" I enjoyed this tremendously! Thank you!!
I also thought so. I had such a good giggle, watching the video and listening to the commentary!X
Dental floss also works for tying the top of the head and nose.
what a mint idea 💡
@@dalilaho2366 so punny !
By far the best Gnome tutorial I have seen. Thank you!!!

"he's a little chunker" - you're so funny! Can't wait to make these.
You could also go to thrift store and look for fur rugs, coats, vest, or even plush animals
Plush stuffed toys is genius! Once you take it apart you have stuffing and fur, maybe even some eyes for other projects! Thanks!
Great idea!
Exactly what I was thinking! Thrift stores is the way to go and if you do mess up, you don't feel as bad as you would if you paid the ridiculous price for the fur at the fabric store! I wish I had seen this before Halloween to take advantage of any fur costumes they might have had.
Wonderful idea. Recycle, reuse, upcycle what the current word of the day is. My time, keep all scraps, look for cheap/free items to re-invent.
The cheapest pillow at Walmart for the fluff!
DON'T use rice. Use sterile sand from Lowe's instead. I use it for my pincushions (mix half and half sand and walnut shells) and it works great!!
Where do you get walnut shells?
I use a straight edge razor l use a razor
Blade or an exacto knife to cut the back - works great. Your guys are cute!
Molly Fien thank you so much for the tip.... I’ll try it next time!
If you glue a glass or heavy metal coaster as the base, the gnomes will stand up well, and will also give the crafter lots of flexibility about what materials to stuff with. Thank you - adorable!
oh good idea
Finally someone made a version I can do! Thank you
Best gnome making video EVER! Thank you for sharing! ❤ That are so adorable! I watch the clearance bin at Joann's all the time for fur and I FINALLY scored a few days ago! I am super excited to make these with my granddaughters!
I always use plastic water bottles and put little rock pebbles at the bottom of the bottle and stuff the rest with stuffing never have to worry about bugs in the rice so cute thank you for the video
Did you make snowmen out of the white sock tops? I love the gnomes, made 12 yesterday! So fun! They are adorable! I made a felt backpack that I glued to the gnomes back. It opens up so you can put a gift card, note, or lip gloss! Great grandkid st nick day gift!
Can you post a photo of the backpack?
Wow I loved this. You have such a calming voice too, would you consider making some meditation videos? I think they would do well, you could do magical journeys with gnomes.
yeah she does have a really nice voice

Sooooo cute. Grand-daughters are spending the weekend and we will be making your cute Christmas gnomes!!!
Miriam, I feel blessed I found you and this adorable gnome project! I very much appreciate your talent and your generosity in sharing--and your soft, gentle voice. I happily subbed! I look forward to more of your projects. Hugs and blessings!💕💕 Sue
I love this tutorial!! You did such an excellent job of keeping the instruction moving forward while talking about his personality and steps to make him. I wish everyone was as prepared as you were when making videos. I will be making a few of these for my family.
These are some of, if not THE cutest ones I've seen, but what I love, as soon as you tie off the white sock, these gnomes become alive in your heart!
I'm just searching for odd socks now. Lol I like to keep a small bag of them in case their partner turns up. Now they have a use. Thanks so much for cute and easy Xmas ornament Super cute.
Soooo cute. Love this... Put rice in freezer for a few days and than add a bay leaf, bugs detest them. Like the cinnamon sticks and cloves, drown out the bay leaf smell, although I like the smell of bay leaf. Great tutorial :)
Good Morning, looks like I am very late finding you! The video you have made is wonderful, love your kind voice and the step by step instructions. You made the Gnomes to cute and easy to follow how to make them. I even have the craft items already here. Thank you Miriam. Your new subscriber,
OMW! So adorable!! I know what my next craft project is gonna be!!
Wonderful!! Your little men are sooooo sweet!! Your ideas
are the reason I love watching you videos do much.
Keep up the good work , yes I really enjoyed this video,
waiting for your next one.
Thanks for sharing, Bobbie from B.C., Canada
So very cute. I am going to get my granddaughter to help me make some as gifts for Christmas. She is 14 and a big help. Arthritis and joint pain make crafting a challenge, but I am fortunate to have her help. Thank you!
You are blessed to have a good helper!
Use a canning funnel might come in handy
I was just going to make the same comment.
Amazing job, I love those little guys. Thank you so much!!
I love these..but I rather use sand..or just batting and pebbles...waste of rice..lol
Never thought of sand good idea.
I have got tons of odd socks, now I've got a brill way to use them rather than bin them 😃 are there going to be anymore Xmas ideas?
see '' how to make fur with yarn '' the effect is absolutely stunning
You're absolutely correct. And gnome wives with yarn braids in place of beards. Add an apron if you wish. So many ideas, but beware, adorably addictive to make!
Easier way to fill the body is to fill the cup and put the sock over the rim and then flip so the rice goes right into the sock. So much easier.
Thanks to you, I found our family Christmas craft day project for 2019! I was wondering instead of using rice if you could use Epsom Salt?
You could but it would absorb moisture and become soggy
I am wondering about buying pebbles! Like for floral arranging or maybe in the pet fish area. Pebbles will not have a moisture issue either!
I don't know why you'd be looking for a alternative for the rice but IF you are couldn't you use fresh clean kitty litter?
I'm making these for all my friends...whether they like it or not!! Also, white aquarium gravel will work just fine.
How can they not love the little gnomes?! lucky friends you have!
Lol, well I think you're a wonderful friend bc no matter what your friends' personal tastes are, who couldn't love these adorable little guys!?☺️
fake snow may work too
@@marinal. it might be too light on its own. I think you would need something heavier in the bottom
Oh yes!!! I"ll be your friend!!😂😂😂😂
I made these last year for gifts. Everyone enjoyed receiving them but one person was so upset that he didn't have eyes under his hat. She just couldn't understand why I would make something without a face. lol. If this seems to be an issue just glue or sew a couple of black seed beads for eyes. Thank you so much for this tutorial. Hugs and blessings
Someone said to crumble up bay leaves to repel bugs.
Thanks for this video! I was searching for an easy gnome tutorial to do with a group of ladies in November. THIS IS PERFECTION! Thanks for doing it live so we can see pitfalls and successes. Better than full-on edited where you don't see the problem-solving.
Hello Jen Happy Merry Christmas to you. I hope you are safe and having a good weather. Nice to meet you.
Dress them in red with wire glasses and they could be Santa too
I love ❤️ your Gnomes they are so cute and easy to make , thanks for sharing!🙏👍
The gnomes are just to cute!! I am not to crafty, just had to try to create a gnome or two! Took me a little longer then 15 minutes and I love the finished gnome!
I love that each little gnome has their own little personality.....I’m sure yours turned out perfect! Merry Christmas!🎄
These are adorable! You are an awesome teacher, so creative. New stubbier here, first visit
I watched a gazillion of these “how to make a gnome“ videos and yours is the first one that has ever emphasize the need to reinforce the rubber band, and you do it without using hot glue! You make a perfect example/argument for why you do this and you were absolutely correct, the rubber band will the grain, and glue will harden so that won’t necessarily work. Tying a string is ingenious!
Thank you so much for watching! I really appreciate your comments!
Plastic poly pellets may be a much better option than the suggested rice, or as mentioned by others in this comments section - pea gravel, kitty litter, flour/cornmeal, or beans. No dust or bugs from the poly pellets! It also provides weight to the gnome.
If/when price is a concern (these poly pellets are slightly costly), (1) use discount programs &/or coupons to buy a bag of the pellets from JoAnn or hobby store, (2) use a combination of the poly pellets and the Styrofoam beads/pellets used for bean bag chairs... (use the poly pellets in the bottom third and the styro beads for the remaining 2/3 of the "body" of the gnome), (3) use loose batting to fill a portion of the "body" and stuff it down in the middle of the beads/pellets.
Another suggestion: if poly pellets are more $$ than you wish to expend on this project, but you still want to use a weighted filler, and you want to use the Styrofoam beads instead, consider buying (from a hardware store) some large washers or large nuts to place in the base of the "body" sock before or after adding a bit of the beads.
Kitty litter or pea gravel are great suggestions! 4 cups of rice per gnome is a lot!
Awesome and you make it look so easy to make. Thank you for sharing your video.🙂
This was the first of your videos that I have watched. I wanted you to know how much I enjoyed watching you make that sweet little gnome. I think that I will make one for my daughter, granddaughter and myself, because they are the cutest little things.
Thank you for teaching me how to make them.
You give great instructions. These are adorable! :)
These gnomes are just too cute! Love how easily they come together!
Hello my friend, thank you for this very useful tutorial. Great idea with beautiful result. Just in time for the holiday. I love it. 🧶💟
How cute! This ticks off all of the boxes: cute, affordable, easy and does not require a great deal of artistic talent! Keep up the good work. Great craft to do with kids or grandkids!
wow very nice. Congrats! Thanks for giving this for us.
New subbie, loved the gnome, how simple fast and adorable the way you’ve shown. These would make such perfect gifts. Thank you for sharing. Patti
Hello Happy Merry Christmas to you. I hope you are safe and having a good weather. Nice to meet you.
I have looked at countless videos on gnome making and yours is the one I'll use to make mine. Thanks for a video that's easy to follow
Loved this video! So adorable! I will definitely make some for Xmas! Thank you!
Oil funnel from dt makes filling the rice SO SO EASY can find them in auto section of dt.
I am so doing this. Starting to collect my supplies now.
Lindsey F you are going to have so much fun making these little gnomes. They make great gifts for family and friends...... that is if you can part with one!
Personally I dont like these freaky things but my neighbor has them all over her house. Im going to make her one for Christmas. Tfs.
Store these away in a metal can. Mice love rice.
Please don’t laugh at me
Where can I find the fur ? I want to buy so I can make them
Hi- I purchased the faux fur at Joann’s fabric store and used one of their coupons. I hope you have fun making these little guys! Thanks for watching!
These are really cute and I'm glad others suggest cat litter rather that rice and faux fur rather than killed rabbits and other animals for holiday decorations. Adorable.
Debbie Flinkman the fur was faux fur purchased from the fabric store.
Adorable and cute ,thank you for sharing ♥️♥️💐💐
Omg this is the cutest craft EVER! Can’t wait to have a family crafting day with my kids and grands!!!
I have watched SOOOOO many Gnome tutorials, and I love this one...but I gotta say: every one of you burn your fingers on the glue gun!!! Amazon has the Gorilla Glue Gun with a variable temp setting, and it is LIFE changing. Go buy one!!!
Thank you so much.........I’ll put that on my Christmas list for sure!! Merry Christmas!🎄
Use an exacto knife and cut from the back and you can save all the fur on the front. That's how I do it anyway
You have that many subscribers and only 3 videos?? How did that happen?....love the gnomes
I just discovered your tutorials! I LOVE your little gnomes and hopefully I will be able to make them for Christmas! Thank you for sharing your design!!!
These little guys are adorable! One great point on Miriam's video - her voice is really nice. Many times in crafting videos, the women talk too loudly or have an unbearable accent - Miriam just seems like someone I'd like to be friends with. Thanks for this adorable idea! -- You could add little wire-rim glasses over his nose made from a large paper clip. :)
Unbearable accent sounds very racist
You have the best looking Gnomes so far that I've seen on some of the video's. Does anyone know if you use small navy beans do you have to put them in the freezer like the rice?
Debbie Sherrill I would freeze most food items so you don’t run risk of bug infestation
@@cloutgod1555 Thank you!
You can also use Polly pellets. You can purchase them at any craft store or online.
Excellent Gnome lesson.
I had a bag of mini zip ties that worked great for tying off the top and nose, and I filled mine with walnut shell cat litter. Thanks for a cute, quick craft and clear instructions.
Zip ties should last longer than the rubber bands. Great idea
Thank You for the great video on my way to make one.. Thank You again🤩🤩🤩
