Legs and shoes made for sock gnomes. Materials needed - Sock, felt, waste card, glue, ribbon, button or decoration Thank you for watching my video. www.ecdesigns.c...
Hi James, I made this video for a group of ladies I knew .... We were making Gnomes over a zoom group and they wanted legs and feet ... this was the first time I had made these legs so I was just improvising ... If I was making them again I might change how I do it. I just say it as it is! Crafting for me is just fun ... no stress and if it doesn't work the first time then you try again :) Keep crafting :)
I've been looking at lots of videos on how to make gnome shoes, i'm so glad I found your tutorial. Thank you, good to know you can make them with everyday things and no need for fancy things.
Your tutorial is absolutely fabulous! I love that you use items that you find around the house instead of having to buy special things! I hope your fingers are better, I burn myself all the time, haha. I actually just bought some finger covers at a dollar store, but haven't tried them yet, so we'll see if they help me. Lol
I teach a craft class, so sometimes I put up tutorials if a student has missed a lesson ... These worked ok, but I think I would make them differently if I was making them again :)
Thank you so much! Was nice you included the sizes of what to cut. I see so many short cuts though, to speed it up. Example: instead of cutting so many pieces for the boot - 6 total - use corrugated cardboard, the ring for the back of the boot (ankle) is the same size as a TP roll. Once making this, you'll see other shortcuts too!! 😉
I felt for you there.i done same and burnt my finger.i keep a bowl of iced water now when glueing.put so.e ice in only small bowl for dipping your finger in.RELJEF STRkghg away lol 🇬🇧
If you cut slits at the top of the felt for the back part it will fold inside the tube better... Also using a toilet paper or paper towel tube would have been much easier instead of making the tubes the way you did...then stuff the tubes with fiberfill instead of a paper towel, and tape it over with masking tape. I seen someone make there shoes that way, and its much faster, and still stable. Nice tutorial, but way too much work than it should have been...
Thank you Karen, this was the firs pair of Gnome boots and yes, there are a lot of things I do now differently ... Thank you for all your help. Have a good Christmas x
Good idea filling it with paper very cost affective.as making things here in 🇬🇧 things are expensive.as no dollar store etc thank you .and I can hear a hint of Irish accent?? Thank you bangor northern Ireland 🇬🇧
I think on those ones I used Kitchen Roll ... but I've been using newspaper ... anything really its just to fill out the boot ... I'm in Carnmoney ... though from Belfast :)
Hi Mary I know, I was using a webcam attached to my laptop, I'm not sure what was wrong. I get better results with my phone. :) O think I need to invest in some new equipment :)
I love the way you are so natural, “shove it” and no worried about your little mistakes, makes me feel no so uncrafty, thank you

I haven't perfected using a glue gun, this video was done to show my craft class how to make the boots (I have a craft class in Bangor)

Your camera keeps getting blurry. You need to speak up. You sound muffled at times.
