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!
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.
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
I have my rice in the freezer and going to pick up supplies for my Christmas Gnome tomorrow! I think it will be a fun project for the grandkids while they're off for the Christmas holidays! Thank you for doing it great tutorial!!
I loved the look of these so i decided to try to make it myself! They turned out so adorable!!! So much so that i actually made 3 of them, giving one each to my sisters and keeping one for myself! Thank you for the easy-to-follow instructions.
Brilliant! These are so easy and they would be the cutest little stocking stuffers or decorating the house with them for Christmas. Make a few for each Holiday and all seasons, even Superbowl parties. The ideas for these cute little guys are endless. I volunteer at a old age home and making a bunch of these would bring quite a few smiles to my senior friends. Thank you Miriam!!
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!!!
Thank you for this tutorial! I love gnomes and I have crocheted a small one to go with my store-bought larger gnomes. I will be trying this for sure!!!! Great tip below about freezing the bag of rice for several days.
Thank you, I'm going to make them for next year. I crochet a lot of lap robe for our local VA Hospital. I love making and giving my items away to hospitals and nursing homes. There are so many people out there that never get a gift or see their families. Thank you for the video. I'm legally bland from an eye stroke 5 years ago, see only a little in each eye but can still help others in a very small way. M
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!
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.
I love your family of winter gnomes. The gray beards must be grampa gnomes. The fake fur you bought is absolutely beautiful. A mantle decorated with them all lined up would be adorable.
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!
I 💕 these little gnome's. Thank you for the great tip, yes rubber band dry out, & so great they make it easy to tie bows/string. You are a great speaker, very pleasant tones,& comments about the gnomes ! Giggles. 🌵🌵🌵Sunny Arizona🌴🌴🌴
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 this. I see a Gnomes Family in my future and my kids. Hubby and I are empty nesters and have a tee tiny tree. So I decorate with things instead of a big tree. Thank you for this.
They are darling! They would make a cute little hostess gift too. I think you could set them just about any place around or in your house, even the bathrooms, just for a hint of Christmas throughout your house! Very cute and easy to do!
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.
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!
Adorable. Wish I had seen this sooner before I started making my yearly ornaments for my nieces. Well, there is always next year! Thanks for sharing these adorable guys.
Can I just say how much of a joy it was watching your video!!! Just hearing you all gitty made me love it more! I want to make me some “chunker gnomes” I’m going to do it with my children and give them as Christmas gifts and put a card with a pin on it that sayes “so you gnome what to do with stress”
I'm glad I looked at your vedeio the second time . I believe I can cut the fur better then I do now . Thank you so much . Love the different ways a person can make the Gnomes. I enjoy makeing them .
I really need to give you my (belated) thanks for making this video. I stumbled upon it 3 years ago and my other half and I have since made it a tradition to make a new gnome each, every year. He looks forward to it so much that he will spend weeks searching for different coloured socks and working out a new "theme" for the years gnome.
Donna Kelso Thank you for watching! I love how they each have their own unique little personality. Keep watching for more holiday ideas. Have a wonderful day!
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!
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
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.
Love these. I added eyes which gave him more personality. I also cut the bottom out of the red cup and made a funnel for pouring the rice. Lots easier. Thanks for a great video.
FIRST TIME SEEING YOUR WORK--LOVE LOVE LOVED--WILL BE WATCHING FOR MORE--MY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW LOVES GNOMES-TAKES ONE WITH HER ON VACATION AND ON ROAD TRIPS THANK YOU FOR TAKING TIME TO SHARE
Started making these for this Christmas. Very easy to make. I did use wood noses and less beard to show the shirt underneath. Also glued them to a wood slice so they stand up forever. I used my own old white socks! Four cups of rice was perfect. Had to order the little rubber bands from Amazon, but they really work great. Added the jingle bell and I am really pleased with how they turned out. Again, her directions are easy to follow and you can keep the cost down by making the beards a little smaller.
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 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.
This is the best video on making a Christmas Gnome! Your voice is soothing & I, even with my bad hearing, on my cell phone, can understand all your words. Thanks for the rubber band & twine idea. Often we need to use rubber bands to hold but over time they fall apart. Using twine is so smart!
These are so fun to make! I’ve already made 4 and will be making 4 more. I used solid colored anklet socks (black) to cover the white sock and stitched them in place so no white shows through. I’m going to use mini red bows with Christmas buttons & bells as decoration for the hats. I can’t wait to give them away as gifts & see everyone’s expressions! Even my husband thought they were cute. Have fun making these.
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.
I made three of these last year after watching her video and I'm going to make more this year. They are quick, easy and fun to make and so cute when they're done.
This is adorable and a quick an easy craft. I’m making them for nieces and nephews and their spouses for Christmas this year. I didn’t know about the bug issue but will put my rice in the freezer now since I’m not ready to make them yet. Thank you for the great inspiration.
This is an excellent project for those of us who are on a tight budget. I know that she said that the faux fur is expensive, but you could find it at a thrift store. Either as part of something else, or in the spot where they have bits and pieces of material etc., also the socks, as well as other items that you may not have on hand. Sometimes it's possible to find these items brand new, still in the original packaging, for a fraction of the original price! Taking advantage of the dollar stores is an excellent idea too. You can add things like feet, spectacles, as well as creating girl gnomes by putting hair in the back, to start with, or maybe make a couple of yarn braids (also taking advantage of the thrift store for materials). I enjoyed this tutorial, helped me get into the holiday spirit a little bit! May your Holidays be as good as they possibly can for all of us, this has been a difficult year for all people no matter what you believe! 🙋♥️🏵️🌾🍂🍁🍂🌾🏵️✌🏾💪🏾😷☯️
These are so cute..I bought one last year, now I ca make my own. Thank you so much for sharing and for great instructions too. As soon as I send this off I am going to subscribe. Look forward to other items you make. Have a Blessed day.
Thank you for this great tutorial! You were very thorough in your explainations and I love your voice! I actually made gnomes last year as Christmas gifts... but they were not as nice as yours!!! Your method is the best I have ever seen and now I am thinking my friends might just get another gnome this year!! I also have gotten good information from the comments... so thanks to all of you as well. I look forward to more of your videos.
I love the easy process and your simple way of explaining. They are so adorable .I am going to try to do some for Christmas gifts. I also am glad you mentioned the fur is expensive, and you mention 4x4. I so enjoyed watching. The hint also to add something string, ribbon on top of rubber band. Thanks so very much :)
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.
These little gnomes are so cute. I bought socks last year, to make some of these, but never got around to doing it. I discovered the bag of socks a few days ago, so watching this video has inspired me to make a start. Thanks.
This is one of the cutest tutorials I've seen,....you have inspired a 45 year floral designer ....old dog new fun trick...thank you...I'm gonna make some for my friends........I think......maybe just one for sure...but thanks...
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!
I watched all of the UA-cam videos on Gnomes and your is by far the best. You are calm, have all supplies ready and listed at the beginning. Then your descriptions as you go are cute and complete. I have subscribed and hope to see more of your videos. Thank you very much. Also, I bought all my fir at Home Goods. They sell all sizes and colors. I bought them to use for my pets homes but didn't need them(they preferred my bed!). Much more inexpensive than the sewing stores. But I would like to know how to color them since I bought all white, long bearded firs. Thank you again.
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 :)
I made a gnome using your video. Thank you so much. Instead of new socks I used items from the thrift shop: white sports socks; upcycled sweaters sleeves for the body and the hat.I even found a piece of fur for the beard. I used a sewing machine to construct the clothing pieces but they could be sewn by hand too. Actually one sweater could make many gnomes. Very cute.
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
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!

These gnomes are just too cute! Love how easily they come together!
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 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
These are beyond being cute! I just love these little gnomes and they seem so easy to make. Thank you for sharing.

Love these. I added eyes which gave him more personality. I also cut the bottom out of the red cup and made a funnel for pouring the rice. Lots easier. Thanks for a great video.
Love these guys! I’m going to buy the supplies and have a gnome making activity for all the girls over the holiday. Boys, too if they want!

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

But I would like to know how to color them since I bought all white, long bearded firs. Thank you again.
excellent host, best I've seen on demonstration. thank you for passing along how-to Hope to see more of you
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 :)
I love this little guy and your tutorial is great. I'd like to try one for Valentine's Day and Easter as well.
Miriam, I love your gnome!! So much I'll make some for gifts and naturally 1 for me! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for an easy no sew gnome. I’m going to make some and give them out at Xmas. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much 😉💕
"he's a little chunker" - you're so funny! Can't wait to make these.
Howdy, oh my goodness. I mean I love gnomes and these are beyond cute! Thank you for sharing.
I made a gnome using your video. Thank you so much. Instead of new socks I used items from the thrift shop: white sports socks; upcycled sweaters sleeves for the body and the hat.I even found a piece of fur for the beard. I used a sewing machine to construct the clothing pieces but they could be sewn by hand too. Actually one sweater could make many gnomes. Very cute.
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
OMG these are the cutest version of gnomes I have ever seen! Thank you for sharing your creativity! 💜
He is soooo precious! I love the mustache, too!
How adorable and easy too. Thank you for sharing. I’d like to see more of your videos.
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!
