No Sew Gnomes have gained so much popularity it was going to their heads. They had totally taken over the gnome page so we had to separate them.
We have a Sock Gnome Page. Here you will find all the basics to get you started.Filling the socks, beards, noses, arms, boots and shoes. There are lots of OPTIONS so you can mix and match and make your gnome your own. There are also lots of hints and tips for those who are already addicted.

Standing Gnomes
We have a Standing Gnome Page. (This page is still under construction) This page will show you how to attach boots or shoes to your gnomes so they will stand. It also will show you different things to use for the body of your gnome to make him stand better. It will show you what you need as a body in order for your gnome to have legs and how to make them. These will give you more opportunity to add extra details.
So what is on this page ?
This page has more ideas for your gnomes AND Crafts, Goodies, Cricut Ideas and SVGs and MUCH MORE

Faux Fur Pom Pom Gnomes
Faux Fur Pom Pom Ball Gnomes
*
- You want to trim the fur where you are gluing the boots and hat. So those are attached to something solid and not just fur.
- You also want to make sure you weight the shoes so he will stand.
Add Tennis Shoes for a Fun Look
Add Eyes for another LOOK
These also make really cute refrigerator magnets
You can add a body to the Faux Fur Pom Pom Gnomes. I used a RX bottle, one of the fatter ones. I wanted a container wide enough to attach the boots and a flat top to glue the pom pom to. I filled the bottle with rice and polyfill for weight and covered it with felt.
Place the nose below the Pom Pom and you got a girl gnome

Prescription Bottle Gnomes
I used thesesmaller prescription bottle gnomes for lots of projects. These are great by themselves, but I like them when I want to add more then 1 gnome to a project.

Pill Bottles are great for smaller gnomes. Remove the label (Yep even gnomes have HIPAA regulations) and cover with material and decorate
Add petals and a clay pot to your pill bottle based gnome for cute Flower Pot Gnomes
01
Cut a felt square into strips length wise, however long you want your petal. I did thirds here and only used 2. Then cut slices the other way careful not to cut all the way through. Usually into 5-6 sections. Round off the ends to shape like petals. * None of this needs to be precise or exact. Real flower petals are not perfect !!!
02
Roll your cut petal strip around the bottom of the pill bottle, gluing as you go.
03
Add a second or even 3rd strip, depending on how many petals you want. Stagger the petals as you go, if the petals start to line up to the previous row. Cut the felt move it over and continue. Fold petals down to form a flower.
04
Cut out leaves from green felt and glue to the bottom of your flower (Not the bottom of the pill bottle)
05
Use the stiffening fabric method from above to make the petals stay where and how you want them.

Decorate several of them similiar for a cute display. They work well for tiered trays
The larger wider pill bottles I use for a base for my regular size gnomes. You have to make sure the base is wide enough to add boots. I also use the larger cylinder shaped aspirin bottles
Although the picture shows a Lions Gnome. THIS IS A BASIC TUTORIAL FOR RX BOTTLE GNOMES. Leave off the Lions Logo and sign and you have a basic gnome you can decorate/accent anyway you want.

I found what I thought was cool on Amazon you get 20 pcs of Faux Fur PLUS 40 pcs of the wooden balls for $16. He was made from these. There are a couple of different options for the colors of the fur. The fur is nice and long. Depending on the size of your gnomes you will get SEVERAL out of every sheet. Several of the wooden balls are small but I like them for eyes and hands. It's a good way to try work with fur if you haven't tried it yet. Hobby Lobby's Faux Fur Sheets are $3 EACH x20, this is a pretty good deal.

I found these little ceramic mushrooms at Dollar Tree. Glue a beard, nose and accents for a quick easy gnome. Add boots (Instructions on the Sock Gnome Page) to take that extra "Step".
These little DT Mushroom Homes can also be turned into gnomes. I love how the mushrooms above the windows look like ears :D

Really Big Gnome
This one was made from a plastic jug you get from Sam's Club or Costco. They usually have Cheese Puffs, Pretzels etc in them. In this case it was Tootsie Rolls
This is made pretty much the same as you would any other No Sew Gnome. There are just a couple of things, that you do for the regular gnomes that are even more important when doing a larger gnome. This is not a Step by Step Tutorial, it's just a guide. Click on first pic to start.

The small gnome is my standard sock gnome, I wanted to make one to show you how big this guy is. That's not a very accurate measurement, but to just measure him doesn't give you a true picture. Not sure if all gnomes like Chicken Noodle Soup, but this guy towers over a standard size soup can.

I used a nose I made from a nylon. I needed a BIG nose and this was a great way to achieve that.

Alcohol Bottles can be turned into Fun Gnomes
Clay Pot Gnome
Five Minute Gnome
Dollar Tree Slippers can be easily turned into a gnome. Simply roll back the heel and add a nose. Add them to a sign or a wreath or use him as a tree ornament
Garden Gnomes and Mushrooms
Gnomes are a 2"x 2" board cut at about 4"
I painted the bottoms and used fake fur for the beard, wooden peg for the nose and burlap stiffen with Mod Podge for the hat
For the mushroomsI covered half a Styrofoam circle with red burlap using Mod Podge and added white burlap circles again with the Mod Podge. Make sure the red has dried completely it will bleed unto the white if it's still wet. Glued them on top of another 2"x2"
Materials
Gnome's clothes can be made from any material.

To make gnome clothes doesn't take much material. So rather then buy yards of material or even 1/2 yards and end up with lots leftover that needs to be stored, Walmart offers these little "Fat Quarters". 18in x 22in cotton fabric pieces for $1-$3. You can get lots more variety this way, even licensed material.
Gnome Crafts
Honestly this one took some time, only because I needed to make 7 pairs of boots. HOWEVER they were VERY inexpensive to make and I didn't have to use my precious hard to find Dollar Tree booties. I made them using the FREE Card Stock pattern on the Sock Gnome Page. The gnome sign was a Dollar Tree find. I glued styrofoam inside the boot, stuck a dowel into it and glued it to the backside of the sign. (make sure you add weight to the boots). Added some pom poms to the hats for extra dimension.
Mushroom Cap Silhoutte Gnome Jar
I painted a glass jar white and added a mushroom cap to the lid made from material. (Basically it's 2 pieces of material I glued together and stuffed) I only glued it to the lid so the jar can be opened. Added some silk greenery and some silhouettes
Gnomasize Any Sign
Gnome Homes
Replace beards and noses on a pool noodle based gnome with doors and windows.
Tin Gnome Sign
I found this at Dollar Tree amongst their Valentines stuff. It's cute but I wanted something I could use all year long that would match my decor. A little bit of paint, some beads and chalkboard hearts (Also Dollar Tree) and I transformed it into something that goes with my decor.

Turn a plain sign into a 3D Stand Up Gnome
How I did it.
This is not a Step by Step Tutorial. Just a guide. Check the Sock Gnome Page for specific directions for all the components
Gnome Book Stack
Dollar Tree Book Stack are real popular, to the point they are becoming hard to find. You can turn a DT wooden crate upside down and get a similiar look.
Gnome Goodies
Gnome Cookies
These are made from a Silicone mold found at Walmart. The mold is deep enough for cake batter too
Gnome Candy Jar
Add a beard and nose to the jar and a hat to the lid for a really cute Candy Jar.
