So, this year is different than most…trying to figure out what to get family and friends without having to hit the stores and/or spend a lot of money. We’ve all been spending time, more than usual, browsing and scrolling through our social media feeds and these insanely cute gnomes came across mine! And I thought, hmm…let’s see just how easy these are to make because they are definitely something everyone I know would love to have.

All you need is rice, some socks, fur from inside of hats and socks or if you can find fur/fuzzy fabric, bit of stuffing or cotton balls, elastics, a glue gun and blush (yes, the one you use on your cheeks!)…done!

Not only are they super easy (and pretty quick once you get the hang of them), but pretty inexpensive too! I bought all the supplies at dollar stores and my kids loved making them too!

There are quite a few video tutorials online, and many different ways to make these little gnomes…but the one I used is below for you.

Have fun and happy crafting!
