    For those of you asking where the boots came from I bought them at HomeSense & Walmart, but I have seen similar boots at Dollar Tree and other craft stores during the holidays!!!

    I use the unscented bath salts from dollar tree to fill the socks. Works wonders.

    I have watched several gnome building videos, but I have to say that YOUR little gnomes actually are the cutest in my opinion. That find of the tiny boots was the find of the decade for sure and for certain! What a stroke of genius! I too will be making Christmas gnomes for gifts because of your video and how cute your idea turned out. Thank you for sharing, I truly enjoyed this!

I need to go grab a few more materials so I can make a third one for my mom. Thank you for inspiring me to get crafty again! COVID has sucked out a lot of my creativity brain cells, but this project has me all kinds of inspired and excited.

  • @paulakelly9244
    @paulakelly9244 4 года назад +48

    Love this little guy! Something to keep in mind for sturdiness is after you use the rubber bands tie off with string or embroidery floss. Rubber bands deteriorate and your gnome won't hold up. Tying off each one will be permanent. Great tutorial!

    • @pattyfoster7465
      @pattyfoster7465 2 года назад +2

      That's probably why she used twine over the rubber band.

    • @dianeericson7900
      @dianeericson7900 3 года назад +5

      Hint to find boots: just in case you hadn't thought of it, the old vegetable patch dolls used boots similar to this. I'm thinking garage/ yard/ tag/ rummage sales might have some. Even if they are scuffed and dirty.... Could also get creative with regular doll shoes: add a tube or make a roll out of any paper goods, sit it upright in the shoe, and use trims to disguise the "seam" at the ankle. Could cover with pieces of sock you aren't using. Picturing "spats" as well, made out of sock or any fabric... even felt.. Have fun!

  • @jeanvenditti1760

    I've been wanting to try making a sock gnome this holiday season but didn't want to spend $ on the material for a realistic looking beard.

I’m using it all throughout my home. Hoping I can use it to create these Gnomes too. If I can’t locate the boots I may just make them long, dangly legs similar to the arms!!!

    This is sssssooooooooo adorable! FYI, some dollar stores will let you order items. Of course, you would have to plan ahead. I did this when I was making gifts for charity. I just went online and located a dollar store near me and ordered through the site. It worked out so well, I was able to order a complete box of what I needed. Another thing, it is my understanding that the elastic/rubber bands deteriorate and it is a good idea to use them and then cover them with twine/ribbon, etc. so they will last a long time. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I see gnomes in my future.

    Sher, those are so cute. I'm starting my gnoming this wknd & I've got 2 ideas for you. Re rice: I'm in south Tx & boy do we have roaches. I used rice and added bay leaves.👍 Re beard: it's hard for me to find the beard materials, BUT I do have a book case full of yarn! I used that for my beards. Looks great! I'm told some of my little guys look like ZZTop.😎 thanks for your gnome info.🌟

    Dollar tree Epsom salts worked great for their bodies.
