all right for this gnome you're going to

need a pattern it's in the description

below you can download it there's gonna

be five pages of pattern pieces

it's not a complicated pattern it's just

got a lot of pieces to it

you're gonna need some non-woven fabric

for the shoes and the

mask you need some knit fabric for his

arms some fabric for his scrub

some fabric for his hat you're going to

need a mask

you need some pipe cleaner some bias

tape some duct tape

some beads for his hands some corks

some ribbon for his hat some sticks for

his legs a nose you're gonna need two

little shoes

for some shoes you're gonna need some um

weighted beads a pool noodle

some string a um styrofoam ball

some faux fur for his beard you're gonna

need some electrical tape

some foil another little piece of cork

um some earbuds and a

piece of wire all right let's get

started

first thing all right we're gonna go

ahead and build our shoe coverings we're

going to take

a six inch circle and it's in the

pattern we're going to go ahead and cut

out two of those out of the non-woven

fabric

and that works the best because it

doesn't have any fraying or anything

like that

and it work and it's pretty stiff so it

works really really well

it'll cover those shoe openings really

good and then we're going to go ahead

and cut two legs

for the legs and you don't have to do

this step if you don't want to

if you want to skip this step you can

but it does help to secure the legs

to the noodle a little bit better if you

do this step

but you can use duct tape if you want to

instead and alleviate this

this step so your choice okay then we're

going to go ahead and take the shoes

and we're going to go ahead and fill

them with a weighted bead

and then we're going to tape those off

so that he has a little bit of weight on

his legs

and we're going to i'm going to cover

mine with duct tape you can use any kind

of tape you want to but i did get a duct

tape to kind of match the

fabric so if you could see it through it

you wouldn't see it

we're just going to cover the very very

bottom of that it doesn't have to be

perfect because these are not going to

show at all

and we're going to cover that up really

really well

and we're going to do that for both of

them

then we're going to take the um covering

and we're going to cover up the shoes

and we're just going to kind of tuck it

in we're just going to kind of go around

and tuck it in

we're going to put a piece of um

glue at the front tape it in and then

just start

folding that around just keep going all

the way around

starting with the front to get the front

straight and then we're just going to

fold around fold around fold around and

then we're going to tuck it in

and again we're not going to glue his

feet inside of here you can actually

use this to balance him i had to pull my

leg

up a little bit on one of them to

balance but it really helped that i did

not have these um

glued in and they'll stay because these

um

corks are going to be really really

tight on these on these shoes

just wrap it around until you get to the

end and then just um

we're going to put them aside and we're

going to go ahead and take our cork

add it to our stick you'll have to drill

a hole through your cork to get it on

there and then we're going to build our

legs

we're going to go down one side so we

have a nice trimmed out edge

and again this step really doesn't

matter if you want to skip this step

and on these corks we're going to only

put about we're going to leave out

one inch at the bottom of the cork

because you don't want to wrap the

fabric around the leg because you will

never get the fat the shoe

the leg into the shoe you'll need to

leave an inch

at the end because that's how deep these

shoes are and we're going to do that to

both sides

we're just going to trim it out and then

and then glue it on and then roll them

up

with the seam in the back

and then we're just going to put those

aside and we're going to go ahead and

build his pants you can take

the pattern and we're going to cut four

pieces

and this pattern will give it a nice um

actual pant look to it

not just cut out a square with a circle

in the middle of it

this is actually going to be a nice

fitted pair of pants for them

we're going to cut four of those and

then after we do that we're going to cut

two pockets and i know the pattern right

there shows four but two of those

pockets are going to be for the

shirt

so these two pieces are going to be for

the front of the pants

and the other two pieces that we cut are

going to be for the back of the pants

and then go ahead and cut your two

pockets

these pockets are going to be actually

on the sides of the pants

all right we're going to go ahead and

glue our pockets we're just going to

glue a quarter of an inch all the way

around

so it's trimmed off nicely once you put

it on the pants

and we're going to do that for both

sides

just about a quarter of an inch or less

just

get it folded up around there so we have

a nice seam on our pockets

all right now we're going to go ahead

and build the pants we're going to take

two sides that are already together and

we're going to glue the

front part of the pants

and then we're going to do the glue the

back part of the pants

okay let that dry really good then we're

going to open them up and we're going to

put

facing sides together

so the side that you see when you're

wearing them

that's a facing we're going to put those

two together and we're going to

um glue up the leg and the crotch area

and you want to line this up really good

make sure the crotch area is lined up

really really well before you start

gluing and then this will complete his

pants

but you do want to let this dry really

really good because we're going to turn

it right side out and you don't want to

turn it right side out until it's really

dried so it stays together

okay then we're gonna take it we're

gonna glue down both sides of the pants

you may have to do a little bit of

trimming

get his legs straight

and then go ahead and glue both sides

down

and you see i didn't get it straight i

had to pull it apart and fix it

but that's okay those things happen

and we're gonna go ahead and glue the

other side down

all right and then we're going to go

ahead and take it and hem it up

we're going to add about a quarter of an

inch hem on both sides

just turn it up a quarter of an inch and

we're going to glue it down

you want to put your hand probably

inside here just to make sure that none

of the glue

seeps through to the inside because you

don't want to glue his legs together

and just glue all the way around there

all the way around to give it a nice

finished hem when he when you actually

turn it right side out

and we're going to do the same thing for

both sides

just about a quarter of an inch hem you

could sew this pattern too just use a

quarter of an inch um

seam allowance all the way around and

it's a pretty so

friendly pattern

all right then what we're going to do is

we're going to glue the very top of it

to give it a finished out edge again

this is a step that you can skip if you

want to because this shirt will

up cover it up there are a lot of

shortcuts that you could use in this

pattern

for things that you don't see but i'm

just kind of showing you like a finished

product okay somewhere

where to lift up his shirt and see that

hey it doesn't have a nice seam so

kind of want to make it do that turn it

right side out

and we are going to put the seams

together so we can get the exact side of

the leg

so we can add our pattern i mean our

pocket and we're just going to glue

three sides on our pocket

in case you want to put something in the

pocket

and we're going to do the same thing for

both sides just kind of make sure that

they're even

just three sides on this as well if you

don't want to put anything in his

pockets you can feel

you can close them all the way up but

you might want to put something in his

pocket

all right and we're going to go ahead

and attach his legs

what we're going to do here is we're

just going to cut some snips probably

about four or five snips around the edge

and this is what's going to attach it to

the noodle

and this is what i was telling you

earlier on the step that you didn't

probably didn't want to skip

because it will attach it to the noodle

you need to put your legs inside your

pants before you put your shoes on

because those shoes will not go through

these pants

then we're just going to push those legs

right into those shoes

on both of those and again we're not

going to glue them because you can use

them for adjustment

then we need to pull his pants legs back

because we're going to attach this part

to the noodle

and you're just going to take a dowel

pin and just kind of poke two holes

evenly on both sides to stick these legs

in

and this gnome balances really really

well he's not too heavy

and pull those flaps back because those

ones are going to attach to the noodle

itself

and we're going to make sure that they

fit before we glue them

and then we're just going to put glue in

the holes

and attach those legs and again that

noodle will melt a little bit but don't

worry about that

it's not going to hurt a thing just kind

of work fast on that

all right after that dries we're going

to take those pieces of

fabric that are left and we're just

going to go and glue those down that's

what's going to secure that leg to make

sure it does not pull

off of your body

if you want to use duct tape there

instead of putting fabric

around the legs that's fine too but you

will have to

glue a little bit of the duct tape

because the duct tape does not stick

really really well to the noodle i tried

it

all right once you got that figured out

make sure it's straight go ahead and

pull his pants legs up we're going to

put a rubber band around it

evenly space the pants the gathers and

then we're going to go ahead and take a

string and wrap it around the

body to hold the pants on good

tie it pretty tight we're going to cut

that off now we're going to go ahead and

make the top

the back and the front of this pattern

are exactly the same so you can just go

ahead and cut

two of the back and then we're going to

cut the v into the front in a little bit

but that's the only difference between

the back and the front is just the v

and again you can click you can keep

from doing this step if you don't want

to either because the beard is going to

cover up the v

but i'm showing it to you anyway in case

you want to make a girl gnome

you will want to finish out that v then

we're going to take two pieces of um

fabric and we're going to cut out the

pockets for the front

you have two pockets for the front

there's two marks on there that you want

to mark

on your pattern and that's where our

glue lines are so make sure that you

mark those two

and then we'll go ahead and cut the v

out of one of those pieces

for the front

okay we're going to take some bias tape

and we're going to finish out that v

again this is good this will be if you

want to use it for a girl gnome it'll

finish it out but you don't have to do

this step if you're doing a gyno

we're going to take a v right there and

then we're going to take the other end

and square it off just take that v right

across there

and then you're going to clip the end so

it's squared off

now bias tape is a folded piece of

fabric so you want to go ahead and put

some glue inside of it

and glue it together before you put it

onto the v itself

and then just glue the other one where

it has the flat piece down there

same thing put some glue inside of it to

glue the bias tape together

and then we're going to glue it down to

the v

and we'll finish off the top of the edge

here in a little bit

all right then we're going to put the

facing sides together

and we're going to glue the top together

now where you marked your marks from the

pattern

on the top we are going to glue from

that

that notch or that line to the edge

on both sides so don't glue all the way

across because you won't get his head

inside the

inside the shirt

all right then we're going to glue down

the sides and we want to leave about a

quarter of an inch

all the way around because we're going

to put a couple of notches in there

so that when we open it up it lays flat

and we're going to do that for both

sides again go about a quarter of an

inch in

so we have a place we can snip it and

you're going to put just a couple little

snips

at the armpit area all right then we're

going to go ahead and glue our pockets

we're going to go

all the way around again just like we

did the ones for the pants

we're gonna glue about a quarter of an

inch up maybe not quite a quarter

inch maybe a little bit less it really

doesn't matter just as long as you get

it glued up so that it has a nice

finished

edge when you when you finish your

pockets

and we're going to do that for both of

them

and yes a lint brush works really really

well to have as a tool

all right then we're going to go ahead

and hem up the bottom so that when we

turn it right side out we have a nice

hemmed edge on the on the bottom of our

shirt because that part is going to show

just go all the way around about a

quarter of an inch up and just get that

all glued in

and we're just going one turn up you

could if you want to do two you can but

i'm just doing one turn up

that fabric doesn't fray so it's not

it's not going to be stringy anywhere

okay and then we're going to turn it

right side out and we're going to finish

out the front of it

and you may need to touch up where the v

is a little bit you'll see if it's a

little bit loose right there since we

did it glued it when it's on a flat

surface

and then just kind of get it flush with

the shirt

on both sides and then we're going to

finish out the edges here in a little

bit so don't worry about the edge right

now

then on his sleeves we're just going to

pull his sleeve out

about an inch and leave the rest of the

fabric inside for the hem

you just want to make sure when you pull

those sleeves out that they're equal on

both sides

just about an inch

and right there you can pull that a

little bit that kind of gives it a

little bit of um

makes it a little bit more defined on

the sides

all right now that that's straight we're

going to go ahead and um hem up the top

part

we're just going to fold that back flap

in about a quarter of an inch and glue

it down

and then we're going to turn it over and

do the same thing we're just going to

fold those two pieces of bias tape down

in the front

and clean that up and again this is you

don't have to do this step

if you don't want to because the beard

will cover it up but if you do decide to

do a girl

you'll want that stuff done

okay then we're gonna go ahead and

finish up his sleeves we're just gonna

make sure that they are perfectly

straight and flat and then we're gonna

go back in there with a hot glue gun

and just tack glue that hem back

you don't have to go all the way around

just kind of tack it in there so it

stays in there because it's not it's not

going to come out because there's no

stress point on it

and we're going to do that for both

sides

all right now we're going to go ahead

and apply the pockets and we're just

going to put them down towards the

bottom of the shirt kind of evenly

spaced

and again we're just going to glue three

sides on these so that if you want to

put something in the pocket you can

if you don't want to put it in the

pocket you can go ahead and just glue

them completely flat

and we're gonna do that for both sides

all right got the shirt done now we're

gonna all right we're gonna go ahead and

take a styrofoam ball that's 1.8 inches

we're going to cut it in half

that half part is going to be for the

dome part of our hat

we're just going to take um the pegs

poke them in there

kind of evenly space them on both sides

and then we're going to put the dome on

there

make sure it fits and then we're gonna

cut a hole into the domed

lid the dome styrofoam and we're gonna

glue that in

and that way when you put his hat on it

has a nice shape to it

just push those into it you may have to

take a pair of scissors to kind of cut

the hole in a little bit better

but just so that they're stuck in there

good

and then we're going to go ahead and

glue them in

so they stay and then we're going to

glue them into the

pool noodle and again your pool

noodle will melt a little bit from the

hot glue but that's okay

and we're gonna put a little glue on the

bottom part of the styrofoam and we're

gonna put that in there

and that's gonna be our head

okay we're gonna put our hat right over

the i mean our shirt right over the top

of it and pull it on down

and again if your pool noodle is 7.5

inches in diameter this pattern is

exactly what

what that's made for it's made for one

of the dollar tree noodles

all right then we're going to take a

knife and we're going to cut the holes

inside the arm so we can attach the arms

and then we'll go ahead and build our

arms we're going to cut two pieces out

of a

knit fabric

and you can actually enlarge this

pattern just a little bit make it a

little bit wider if you want his arms be

a little bit wider once i got done with

my gnome i wish i had made a little bit

wider a little bit thicker arm

but um you can modify this at this point

so go ahead and we're going to hem up

one side so we have a nice seam on the

on the back and a nice seam by his hand

so go ahead and hem up those two sides

and then we're going to take a piece of

pipe cleaner fold it in half and we're

going to cut our pipe cleaners

to be four and a half inches in length

then we're going to glue them in leave a

little space at the front for the bead

for the hand

and then loosely roll those up

and then glue that off at the end

go ahead and add the bead at the at the

tip for his hand

and glue that on in there

and then we're going to do the same

thing for the other side leave a little

space for the

hand at the end roll it up loosely

make sure that they're equal before you

glue it shut

and then we're going to add our bead to

this as well

all right then we're going to twist up

the pipe cleaner at the end

we're going to stick it into that hole

pull that shirt back

and then we're gonna put some glue

inside that hole and push that pipe

cleaner on in

don't put it in there too far though

because you do want to have some arms

stuck out

there before you glue this other side in

make sure that your arms are

even they're the same length

and then go ahead and glue that one in

as well

all right then we're going to go ahead

and add some glue around the edge of the

of the

styrofoam ball and we're going to glue

the shirt down

and we're going to do that all the way

around

all right now we're going to go ahead

and make the beard we're going to go

ahead and add our pattern

cut the backing only go all the way

around there

and then clean any excess fabric off of

there

then we're going to add our beard right

at the top edge of the shirt

and we're going to go ahead and glue it

on down

all right we're going to put that aside

we're going to go ahead and make his hat

we're going to cut two pieces

of pattern pieces one on the fold

and then just a single piece for the top

part

and you can use whatever kind of fabric

you want i just wanted to do something

that just wasn't regular

blue fabric so because i see a lot of

healthcare workers wearing some pretty

pretty cool hats all right then we're

going to go ahead and take our hat and

we're going to

stitch it we're going to have to gather

it up a little bit start about

one inch up from the bottom and then

finish out

one inch from the from the bottom on the

other side

and you're just going to kind of go in

and out in and out just kind of

get it in there so we can draw it up a

little bit

and it doesn't have to be exact

and just make sure you got the center

fold right at the center at the top

and just go around there and make sure

you have enough room at the end to go

ahead and hem

the bottom piece i mean the trimmed out

piece

the hat band

it's gonna need just enough room to hem

it and then you can go ahead and tie

that off after you get it

exactly where you want it and then we're

gonna glue it together

all right then we're going to take our

center again make sure the center is at

the top

and we're just going to take our hot

glue gun and go around the edge

and glue it on

make sure your two side your two facing

fabric pieces are

facing each other because we're going to

turn this on the outside

in a little bit and you want to make

sure that that has a nice trimmed edge

on it

and then do the same thing for the other

side

you just clip all the rest of your

string off of there

okay then i'm going to open it up to the

front

and then we're going to hem the two

edges of the um

hat band

all right then we're going to go ahead

and take that excess fabric we're going

to fold that band in half

and we're going to glue it to the part

where we just glued

the top to the band to trim it all out

i know there's a lot of steps to this

pattern but it'll be worth it at the end

all right there you have your hat now

we're going to go ahead and add some

ribbon to it so we can tie it

probably use about say maybe 10 inches

on each side

and we're just going to glue those into

those flaps

and just squeeze that shut

i'm going to add the nose just at the

top edge of his beard

kind of maybe about a half an inch down

and then we're going to add his hat

before we attach his hat we're going to

make a stethoscope and i'm just taking

some dollar tree

earbuds and some wire

and just kind of bending it around there

kind of seeing where i want it to be on

my gnome because i'm put these around

his neck

and you can adjust these however you

want to and then just cut that off and

then you can actually insert this into

the earbud part there's a little bit

opening in there

and if there wasn't you could just glue

these in i'm gonna glue it in on both

sides

into the earbud

and then i take some electrical tape and

i'm going to tape it around the wire to

the earbud itself

just to hold it in place

these actually worked really really well

for a stethoscope

i'm going to go ahead and measure around

my gnome to see how long i want my

stethoscope to be

before i put my tip on it and then i'm

gonna cut it off about right there

and then i'm gonna save the end that has

the pointy part

so i can stick it into my cork i'm gonna

take the wire i'm gonna attach it to the

bottom part of that

and i'm just going to take electrical

tape and wrap it all the way around it

all the way down

to secure it to the wire

and you can use whatever you want to for

the end i couldn't find anything so i

just cut a piece of a cork off

and i'm going to wrap it with the foil

smooth it out really good then go ahead

and glue your cork onto it

and then we're just going to fold up the

edges all the way around

then just glue those in

okay take a little piece on the top just

to kind of trim out that

rough edge and then just glue it down

then the plug part we're going to stick

it right through there

that cork and that's what's going to

hold it on to our

other wire and just tape those together

with electrical tape

and then we're going to add attach this

to our gnome before we put our hat on

just wrap it around the back and we are

going to glue it to our styrofoam once

we get it exactly how we want it

and then i'm going to take a piece of

duct tape and tape over the top of it

just to secure it better

okay then we're going to attach our hat

now what i did after the fact

i put stuffing in my hat i went back

after

the video and did put stuffing in it and

it totally

changed the way the hat fit i definitely

recommend

adding some polyfill in there and then

gluing the hat down

i actually had an opening in the back

that i could stuff it up in there

in that hole in the back but go ahead

and add your poly feel to fill that hat

out really really well

before you glue that hat all the way

down next we're going to take a

piece of the um non-woven fabric two and

two and a half inches by five inches and

we're just gonna start according it

until we have three folds in there and

that's

going to be the front you're going to

glue those folds all the way down

on both sides

and then we're going to fold it in half

and trim off the

top edge and then we're going to take a

real mask and that's what we're going to

use for that are just the little

strings to hold it on just going to fold

those

in half and then we're going to glue

those down

they don't have to be real long we're

just going to tuck those up underneath

his hat here in a little bit

and then we're going to take that last

flap and glue it over the top to hold

all that in

and then you can trim it

i'm going to go ahead and glue it to his

nose

and we're going to stuff those strings

up underneath the hat and glue those in

put a little bit on both side of his

nose to kind of pinch it on there

and then we'll tuck those little strings

up underneath this hat and glue those in

all right there you have it a little
