- NEW UPDATE - CHECK OUT PART 2 GOES IN DETAIL FOR ALTERNATIVE BEARD OPTIONS :)
• DOLLAR STORE SOCK GNOM...
ALSO - if love gnomes like I do...check out the gnome wreath option:
• Gnome wreath (shopping...
Simple gnomes made with socks and rice. SUPPLY LIST BELOW 😊 Most items bought a dollar tree. To make his nose rosy put some blush on it.
UPDATED: If your worried about bugs in the rice, wheat or beans, throw the grains in the freezer for up to 30 days (30 to 60 days is ideal) and any bugs or bug eggs are supposed to be killed by the cold. We use a similar idea to store grains for long term storage and were told this was the best way to keep flour, rice and other items from getting those pesky flour beetles in them.
I have investigated the pros and cons in using food items to weight down crafts - please read the above concerning rice filling. You can switch to kitty litter which before anyone comments its not safe around pregnancy - I have looked into that also. It is the dirty used kitty litter that is unsafe. It is cautioned not to change the litter...clean litter in a sock does not contain the toxins described in the detailed caution about pregnancy and litter.
Thank you for enjoying my first tutorial...will share another one soon :)
SUPPLY LIST
1 white adults tube sock
2 cute adult fuzzy socks prefer 2 different designs
White rice or sand in bags
Tiny Little hair elastics
4" cone or toilet paper roll or rolled card stock
White felt
Fun fur yarn or faux fur or looped ribbon (for beard)
Ribbon and string
Any embellishments you wish to add
Hot glue gun and glue
Cheek blush for his nose
How Brilliant and adorable. Thank you for the tutorial
Those are the cutest gnomes I've seen! I going to have to try making at least one!!
Great little project. In my Norwegian heritage we call them Nisse's !!!
Oh my gosh! So adorable and easy to make. I must try these. They would make great gifts. TFS!
While watching someone else I saw a neat trick when adding another glue stick put a little hot glue on the end before inserting it in gun and it will stick to the existing stick works good
Messi Gypssi what a great tip! I will definitely be trying it. 😀
Genius!
I don't get what you mean, Hot glue where?
@@badabing9143 right onto the glue stick you will be adding to the the end of the first one
How marvelous. Will start making these now for Christmas with my grandchildren. They are adorable!
Loved your video. Perfectly paced and great video placement. You really did a very professional job on this.
Incredible video and absolutely darlin outcome! LOVE it! Thanks so much for sharing! You have a gift of teaching..so patient and thorough! Well Done!!
Awesome job! They are too cute! Hoping mine will turn out as great as yours!
Adorable ☺️. Thank you for sharing.
That was a perfect tutorial! Thanks
Love these ❤️ thank you for sharing
ADORABLE!
This is so cute!
I'm making mine now I'm using kitty litter because I couldn't find my garden sand. I poured mine in clear plastic bags. Wish me luck!,
great job!!
These are adorable! I wish I had a dollar tree in my town 😮 The closest one is 3 hours away 😭 so cute and quick and you did a great tutorial! Quick question though? What are the size of The styrofoam cones? Maybe I could find them at Joannes and use a coupon 👍🏻🤗
its 4" high, they are available on Amazon, however a rolled card stock sheet works good too.
Oh that’s a great idea too! Thank you for getting back to me so quick! I can’t wait to make some of these!

Tiger Cub Oooo perfect! Thanks for letting me know 😁
Thank you for sharing!
Love that video thanks for sharing. I noticed that the nose has color on them... What did you use to make that?
can you make a she gnomes ?
Perfect first video! You had all your supplies available, your speed was perfectly paced, you even saved time by providing the finished beard. The angle of the camera was perfect for your viewers to see everything clearly. The Gnome is an adorable project that can be done by most.
I can't praise you enough for your first video. I have been watching others that were too slow paced, they didn't have their supplies available & had the leave their work spot to get things. I look forward to watching your video to come! Well done AAAAA Plus!
adorable, now we know were all those missing socks go to, lol
lollllllllLLLLLLLLL

Your video showed up in my Recommend feed... im glad it did ...thank you Ive been wanting to learn to craft and I think this is a great place to start.
I thought this was so cute, just had to make some. So earlier today I stopped at the dollar tree and got my yarn at Hobby Lobby (used my coupon). I just finished making one now so now I'm going to do the opposite socks with the second one. I hung a tiny strand of bells on my little guys hat - I didn't have any buttons. Thanks for the idea. These will make a great gift for my neighbors with Christmas cookies! :)
Tracy Raia-dowd whay kind of yarn is that?
I bought it at Hobby Lobby in the yarn section. It's a fringy white yarn by "Yarn Bee - snuggle up white" for 3.99 but I used my 40% coupon.
@@tdowdfl thank you for posting this comment. My Hobby Lobby had only one left! 🤗
Tracy Raia-dowd a
Awesome tutorial thank you so adorable
Greetings from Canada. My granddaughter and I made this one afternoon and she was so proud to take it home. Your video was very easy to understand and it encouraged my granddaughter to decorate it in her own way. Another day at Gramma's, also had some snacks??What goes on at Gramma's stays at Gramma's LOL.
😁
LOL!
I made a few of these this weekend and have fallen in love with them. So much so I want to keep them all! Thank you so much for sharing this idea!
a jingle bell on the tip of his hat would be cute too!
Laura Krisfalusi O love these gnomes......very nice tutorial you did an excellent job!!!!
Good idea.
Small hat decoration...
Mmm...!
The gnome is to cute, have to try making one.tyfs
I love the way that You made his beard!!! I am not 100% sure on this but I think that yarn is called Eyelash yarn or string. Faux fur would never look as GREAT AS YOUR ISEA!!! I think and noticed it first as the most adorable part of Your ADORABLE CHRISTMAS GNOME!!! Thank You for sharing Him! I LOVE HIM AND ABSOLUTELY, AM GOING TO TRY TO MAKE HIM FOR AN ADDITIONAL GIFT IN MY GIFT BASKETS THIS YEAR.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!! 🎄🦌❄️☃️
Sorry, I just saw that I spelled idea wrong. I am happy that You understood my mistake.
I couldn't find it until i read your comment, so thank you for that.
Absolutely adorable!
so cute
FIRST OF ALL THIS IS A STELLST FIRST VIDEO. A PERFECT STEP BY STEP TUTORIAL, IN MY EYES!!!! I THINK THESE GNOMES ARE ADORABLE!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING MORE VIDEOS, CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR MAIDEN VOYAGE!!!
Wow thanks so much!
lorraine gutierrez

Well done first time tutorial.

Great job
I'm not a gnome person, but these are adorbs! My head is swimming with ideas!!
UPDATE Nov 26, 2018
THANK YOU, for all the amazing comments! I do read all the comments & respond when I can. I also take the criticism as a means to improve my channel. Some don't like the music in the background...don't worry I won't do that again...remember this is my FIRST video ...I like to work with the TV or radio on. Length of videos are getting shorter, I bought a mic to help you hear me better...and voice over seems to be the way to go...I can delete my unnecessary babble. Also if your against using rice or a food source for stuffing...you don't have to...there are alternative choices.
I don't make money or have sponsors here. I simply enjoy sharing and communicating with those who enjoy crafting. (all negative, or rude comments are deleted & blocked).
Happy Holidays to all my subscribers xoxo
If you can't find the same yarn...you can use any fuzzy yarn, faux fur, looped ribbon, felting yarn...or even mop refills cut up.
To finish him off grab your favour blush and blush up his nose ♥️
Hope you enjoyed my FIRST video salut!
Thank you very much for making this video and sharing it with us. They are adorable. I am going to make some for gifts. The video was very well done and instructions so easy to follow.
These are adorable!! What blush & color did you use? Also, where did you find your fluffy ribbon?

will you at any point be doing a video to replace this one I could not see any thing, just a still picture pointing to a white ball or candle, I'm so gutted!xxx

Hi Vicki, sorry the video didn't play for you. It seems okay for others perhaps the error is happening at your end. I choose not to be visible while making them only because I really camera shy. And I wanted people to see better rather than look at me...lol
Thank you for sharing. I love them!
Oh my. I cannot wait to get to the store and get the supplies. I am so making these for Christmas. Thank you for sharing. You explained it so even I can do it.
I love these guys! Thank you for sharing
Use a funnel or top from soda bottle
I have made 2 already but not sure they are as cute as yours. How do I send a pic ?
Love to see it...not sure about sending one through youtube, but you can go to my facebook page and share it there. :). A piece of "work"
A piece of "work"
how tall is the cone i have made a few and not sure if i have the cone length right i tried to find some faux fur but did not have much luck so i bought some christmas stockings with faux fur trim at the second hand store washed them and used that they really look cute thank you for the inspiration
Love love love super cute. Thanks for sharing .love from Scotland 🏴
These are truly adorable. Thank you for taking the time to show how you make them. I have a suggestion for you on the Styrofoam cone bottom. Have you tried using a melon ball tool? I've used a melon baller tool on other Styrofoam projects and it works great to hollow out areas. It both cuts and scoops the Styrofoam at the same time. I also find it makes less mess. Hope that works for you!
Awesome idea! Thank you:)
Soooooooooo cute! Really enjoyed the video. Thank you!
Well SHIT, now I have to shift gears and go to the city to d.t. instead of the little town to get groceries..lol
You did good
Almost 200,000 views! Congratulations! Please make more tutorials! This was perfect! I've subscribed :)
Definitely one of the most unique and cutest DIYs I've ever seen! I will be trying my best to replicate this one for sure!!!
Oh my gosh 💚 ADORABLE
I am for sure giving this wee guy a go ~ he's so very cute ~ thank you
Adorable 😻
Great tutorial! 😃👍🏻
Adorable gnome! Love this project! Thank you!! 😃
Merry Christmas in advance
Well done! Love it
I cannot believe how cut these are!!! This would be a great craft for a get together! Great tutorial Thank you! The raffia bow around his middle is so cute too! Sandy
Mr David hi me food

th-cam.com/video/jU6Ffz-0Yx8/w-d-xo.html
I used toe socks so the hat has 5 little tendrils at the top...so cute!
I'd love to see a pic of that!!
New Subbie! You did a great job! I will be making these. You have the cute s t on You Tube. Check out my new lil channel and Sub back if ya like it. Again- GREAT JOB! Hugs-Rebecca
Thank you :)
Such adorable gnomes! I was wondering what the nose was made of and then you surprised me by making the nose. Very good 1st tutorial - I can clearly see everything you're doing.
ADORABLE! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Jenny. I made 32 these for my husband to give to his customers year before last. They were a big hit. Last year I made the sock snowmen for him. This year I chose to make the gnomes again 32 of them. They are in my opinion are the cutest little guys! Thanks again for sharing your idea.
Great video! These gnomes are adorable! Thank you!
Like it all but the buttons.... when you first look at him, kinda looks like his eyes are jacked up. But otherwise I'm in love w them! You are very talented. Thanks for sharing.
Brandi Buffkin eyes are jacked up, lol. I would have put one button at the bottom of the pointy part of his beard. Otherwise very cute.
Lol Im ok with a jacked up Gnome...:)
Brandi Buffkin agreed!! He was absolutely perfect without his buttons...sometimes less is more!!? Didn’t Jenny do an awesome job for her first video huh? 🙂👍🏻
Brandi Buffkin Was
Great job
They are so cute, the straw like stuff that you are using, it's called raffia.
yes it is...I just posted a second more detailed video on finishing off your gnomes...check it out
So, I believe you can put a few drops of tea tree oil in the rice mix it well and that should take care of the mite/bug situation.
nice thank you for the tip
Jenny Sikma or a bay leaf will do the same
Adorable! You did a great tutorial!
I cant wait to make these for Christmas 2018.
Very nice!!
Thank you for a great video... yours is the best DYI on this craft. I bought all my supplies and me and my grand daughters are making some tomorrow!!! Tks again
Great job love them.!!!!xoxo
Very nice video well done...I agree with the price of faux fur...it was over $25.00 a yard on sale!!!!...on the other side of the store they had smaller pieces...enough fur to make 4-5 gnomes for $3 and change...still nice quality...Note I learned you need to cut this faux fur with a razor...it does a lovely job and doesn't destroy the fur ends. I like the way you put raffia on the waist...I have made a few...but put a pipe cleaner (chenille stem) into the sock so I could bend the end into a shape and stuck a big red bell on the end...these are really cute thanks for sharing.
So cute!!!!!
Thank you for getting right to your craft. Wonderful job, too cute.
These are so stinkin' cute! I can't wait to try my hand at them. You did a great job explaining it, especially for a first video!
In Denmark 🇩🇰 we call them " nisser".
So very cute!! This could be a great project for my 6 grandkids!!! Of course, they are older!!! You did an awesome job on the video. Thanks for sharing the idea.
that is so darn cute. I had to laugh at them. I may have to try and make a few .
I love your cute little chunky gnomes,theyre so cute but funny...I love them.
👍🏿👍🏾👍🏽👍🏼👍🏻👍🎅😄
I gave your video to my Daughter's Teacher and I think her class will make these for Christmas, the past 2 years I've gotten snowmen.
I love these! Thank you for sharing this!!
Of all the gnome tutorials I've seen, this is the best! Thank you, I am definitely trying it. My grandkids (and kids) will love them.
You did a wonderful job....Really cute idea. And yes, I agree, please make more videos..
Happy Crafting
Will do...just finding the time between my full time job lol
I just happened upon your generous video, and Your gnomes are spectacular. My favorite is the little guy with the badge snow hat.
It's very kind of you to take time to share this, and it's a wonderful creation. Thank You!
Great tutorial!
Where did you get the white elastic bands like that.. you make the cutest gnomes of all of them.the beards made with the yarn is the best.. use a funnel made of heavy paper for the rice. I discovered that making rice hot packs .
Walmart has them in their hair accessories department
I found them at Dollar Tree.
Adorable !
I stick crafting wire in a loop into the styrofoam and it makes their hat stand really tall and they're bendable!
Very cute project. Your very first video - excellent work! Please make more Christmas videos! TY
OMG!!!! I love gnomes but haven’t had any luck finding a video on how to make them. They have smaller ones but none this size. Thanks for sharing!
These are so adorable 😍
very charming and very easy to do. thank you

You did a great job..I love gnomes and made a version of this on my own...I used a styrfoam small ball for the nose and a ped stocking natural color and wrapped around it.....turned out fine..Your idea is good too...thanks for sharing
