Tiny Bead Sock Gnome - DIY


Tiny Bead Sock Gnome - DIY


I had so much fun making these :) and it was a quick 10 min project too. I have a lot of wooden beads lying around and was wondering what to do with them. I searched my cupboard for some bright fabric that I could use and found a lone tiny sock calling to me... and a gnome was born!
Here's how u can make 1 for yourself
You'll Need
  1. An old sock or any brightly colored fabric cut into a 3" x3" square
  2. A wooden bead
  3. Cotton wool or plain cotton
  4. A permanent marker and some thread
Steps:

  1. Place the cotton at the center of the square and bring all four corners together to form a potli
  2. Tie the ends with a thread
  3. Pull the top of the Potli through the hole in the wooden bead. This step is slightly tricky.I used a crochet stick to pull.
  4. Using a marker, add eyes and a big goofy smile
Aren't they the cutest??
