    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.

    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.

  • @LisasCreationsofLove
    @LisasCreationsofLove Před 4 lety +150

    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!!!

  • @sharonb.7867
    @sharonb.7867 Před 5 lety +45

    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!!

      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!

    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.
