I ADORE your upbeat PERSONALITY! I'm an old-school Gram crafter & could listen to your voice ALL DAY! You're one in a million hostesses & you genuinely know to speak sentences properly...just plain FUN!!
Awesome. I can't wait to make this guy. My grandsons are really "bothered" that my gnomes don't have faces! Thank you Sarah, this will make them happy this Christmas.
Always wanted to give some gnomes a face - with your detailed instructions now I can 😊 - going to fashion a tiny pair of glasses to sit on the nose of a Santa I will be making for a Christmas gift . 🦋🇨🇦 Blessings from Nova Scotia, Canada
Amazing! I was so not into gnomes when they first came out but now.... I'm really starting to like them a lot. New to you today. TFS. Have a great week! Take care. Blessings
I just now made four! I'm so happy. I wasn't as professional as you are, and they still turned out looking nice. I like the eyes; I think the children I made them for will appreciate eyes. Thanks!
I never thought I’d become obsessed with making gnomes, but it’s happened! I’m sure you can understand how making one just leads to more ideas, occasions, and cute ideas. I’m actually having trouble focusing on the other Christmas gifts that I need to get done that aren’t gnomes.
He's a favorite here, too. I just don't see many gnomes with faces - I hope to play around with a few more designs for this holiday season. Thanks for watching, Tanya.
Thank you so much, Rhonda. I have so many more gnome videos, a few Christmas DIYs, and well, you never know. :) I just love to create. Thank you for being here and crafting with me.
You do an awesome job on your gnomes. I love all the suggestions to make them more professional looking. Keep up the great work and thanks for all the ideas you suggest, they really make a difference. I like the holiday gnome the best.
Thank you for watching, Donna. If you ever have any questions, I put a lot of detail in the articles linked in the descriptions. Feel free to ask them here on RUclips or on the website.
Oh my! Soooo cute! My favorite??? All of them :D. You make it look to easy - I’m still in the beginning stages of making these little guys. Love them so much. Each one comes to life and have their own little (or big!) personalities. Well, you’ve given me some great new tips and I’m going to try making one (or two or three...) this way. Thank you so much for sharing these with us!
I just discovered this neat tip and wanted to share. If you take the longe spongey rollers from dollar tree (i don't know what they are called) push down, you'll see a white tip that can be removed. They make for great eyes! And you can still use the roller for arms or legs. This has worked great for me, i hope this helps someone. Happy Holidays! 🎅🤶🎁⛄
How can I pick a favorite when I absolutely love all of them! I'm having so much fun going through your Mix and making gnomes on the size. New ideas all the time. I love it Sarah!🥰♥️😚
A challenge? OMG? That's me too! I did that with face masks all year. New pattern?? Oh sure! I will try it! I have oodles..all hand stitched! Aren't we crazy? Now gnomes too..LOL!
I ❤ these gnomes, but these are my absolute favorite ones because of the addition of their adorable little faces! So cute! Thank you for sharing these with us. Merry Christmas 😁🎁🎅🎄☃️
I'm so glad you like them, Amanda. I've been toying with different ways to make the faces because I love them peeking out from under those hats. Happy holidays and Merry Christmas to you and yours, as well.
Have seen several different gnome tutorials. Yours is by far the best. Your voice is really clear and easy to understand.. Tomorrow my daughter and I will try one of our own. Thanks again and Merry Christmas.
Right? I just haven't seen any gnomes with faces and wondered if I could do it. ;) That's the gist of most of my crafting - wondering if it will work. ;) Thank you for watching, Sandra.
Not easy to pick just one! Kind of like ruffles potato chips. Well, I love them both and wouldn't want to make them sad so I'm picking both😛 I'll be back!
Love these gnomes! I've made several this year for the holidays but I love this idea, with the face and beads! Thank you for sharing! I'm going to make a few like this
I really am pleased with this set and would like to do this with my grands. Hope they want to. Love the last one the best. Thank you so much. Enjoyed listening to you as well!😄
I have quite a few little gals on the website and am editing a family of cone gnomes now. I'll be showing how to make braids two different ways. I'll put a few more ladies on the agenda. :)
Thank you for the idea on how to put a face on the gnomes. I do make them like you do but use rice or beans to help weigh them down & cotton to fill them up. I like to leave a little of the top of the gnome to give the hat body*;0)
Yes, some of my taller gnomes get A LOT of poly beads, rice, or beans. I did use coffee beans once and learned my lesson that they should be dried first... It was a mess. :)
New subscriber I Love it Sarah you are so crafty and a good teacher to follow as well. One question how much we could sell it! Thank you for your time and sharing may God bless you...
Well I'm so glad to have you here, Denise. As for these little cuties, you can sell any handmade gnome for whatever price your market will bear. There are a lot of groups on Facebook (some are even regional) where you can get an idea for pricing. Good luck - whether you show at craft shows or sell on Etsy or Facebook marketplace, I sure do hope you have a fun time making these little cuties.
Where do you source you beard fabric please? I live in the UK and have tried looking but not much of the long haired faux :( by the way I absolutely love your videos thank you xx
I buy it in bulk from Amazon, usually (search Mongolian fur). Fabric.com is another great source for it, but again,, I usually buy it by the yard (or three). Many of my readers and viewers can find some on Etsy - maybe look there to see if you have any local / semi-local? And thank you so much for watching my little channel - I am honestly so lucky to get to share these with you all.
Hi there, Eleanor. Thank you so much for your sweet compliment and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Most of the faux fur I use is Mongolian (3" pile). It comes in a ton of colors but I tend to stick with frosted gray and white, but small cuts are available on Etsy for the colors. I buy most of my frosted gray on Amazon by the yard but sometimes Joann's and other fabric stores will have it in stock. I hope that helps. Let me know if I can help out or answer any questions - I just love making these little guys and gals.
I used a half inch wood ball for this one, just because I had a ton of them from Amazon. ;) You can use a similarly-sized wood bead or even a pom pom if you have one.
The gnome beard fur is called "Mongolian fur" in white (frosted gray is also very popular). I buy it at fabric stores and on Etsy - not sure where you are, but it's called Mongolian everywhere and has a 3" inch pile. The link to the Etsy shop is in the description if you want to see what shipping would be for you.
Thank you for letting me know. I linked an alternative from a great shop on Etsy - the best part is that she will give you less than a yard, so it’s more cost effective. I get my Posca paint pens (the fine tips) on Amazon. You can use a small paint brush and acrylic paint if you have that on hand.
Oh no, Melanie. You can use a jar lid or even a round piece of cardboard. Most of the time it's the lack of weight in the bottom in proportion to the height and weight of the hat. I usually add quite a bit of weight to them, pick them up and drop them - if they don't move, they're good to build on.

Garland gnome is my favorite
I like the twine wrapped hat.
It's hard to pick just one there all awesome, I love gnomes
I never thought I’d become obsessed with making gnomes, but it’s happened!

Awesome, love the last one the most because it is original, but they are all great ❤
Not easy to pick just one! Kind of like ruffles potato chips. Well, I love them both and wouldn't want to make them sad so I'm picking both😛 I'll be back!

They're SO adorable!!! LOVE them!!! =) Can't pick a favourite... they're all too sweet in they're own charming way. =)

Yeah, they sure do have a lot of personality. =) They make me smile. =)

😍👍🏾
Really festive, makes you say "awe".. what size beads did you use? Im def gonna try this. Great tutorial!
Thank you so much for the kind words, Denise. They are definitely "awww-inducing" little guys. :) For the nose, the bead is about 1/4 inch (6 mm).
@@SarahNenniDaher ty for the reply,/help. I wish you and yours a very Blessed holiday season! 💓🤗
I dont know if it was mentioned, but what kind of pens were used for the eyes? Thank you in advance!
I used Posca paint pens, but anything will work.
What type of faux fur do you use.
What size is the little wood bead? I can't wait to make these!
I used a half inch wood ball for this one, just because I had a ton of them from Amazon. ;) You can use a similarly-sized wood bead or even a pom pom if you have one.
You answer so quick! Thanks for all your help! I have beads with holes so I may try them first
My official favorite gnome tutorial! One question regarding the paint pens: Is it acrylic or oil-based paint? Thank you!
Vakaria, I used Posca paint pens and they are water based. You can definitely use acrylics, as well.

Love all 3🙌♥️🙌♥️.. also love the lil story where can I find it ?
A gnome isn't suppose to have a face. If he does he looks like santa.
Just so you know, that fur is no longer available on Amazon 😢
Where do you get your paint pens?
Thank you for letting me know. I linked an alternative from a great shop on Etsy - the best part is that she will give you less than a yard, so it’s more cost effective.
I get my Posca paint pens (the fine tips) on Amazon. You can use a small paint brush and acrylic paint if you have that on hand.
I made this and he kept falling over. I think I am gonna try with a jar lid for more stability.
Oh no, Melanie. You can use a jar lid or even a round piece of cardboard. Most of the time it's the lack of weight in the bottom in proportion to the height and weight of the hat. I usually add quite a bit of weight to them, pick them up and drop them - if they don't move, they're good to build on.
@@SarahNenniDaher I counter weighted him by having him hold a christmas tree ornament. My mom was happy to give him a home!
@@melaniem442 Awww, that's so sweet you made him for your mom. ;)
@@SarahNenniDaher I kinda had to do something for her she's been making gnome hats for me. That was her pay! A top heavy gnome!🤣
