DIY Valentine Toilet Paper Tube Gnomes
14 January
I hope you have your Christmas decor all put away... or at least have started putting it away! Why?
Because I have a super fun little Valentine craft to share with you today and you are going to want to add it to your Valentine's Day decor! And if you don't typically decorate for this holiday, you are going to want to after you see this! 😁
This is a combo project which incorporates recycling and a Dollar Store recycle all in one adorable little package!
DIY Valentine Toilet Paper Tube Gnomes
Cute right?!
I am all about recycling and with toilet paper being such a hot commodity these days I feel like we should be cherishing those empty TP tubes a little bit! 😂
Below you will find a video (YES! I made a new video!!) and the full tutorial blog post!
Supplies Needed to Make Your Own
- Empty toilet paper tube
- Quilt batting
- 2 footie socks
- Faux fur
- 3/4" button top furniture plugs for the nose (you could also use a large wooden bead)
- Poly pellet weighted stuffing beads (or rice, beans, pebbles, etc.)
- Scrap of cardboard for the feet
- Embroidery floss
- Hot glue and white craft glue
- Scissors
Here is the video I made... check it out... seriously... I spent hours on this... watch.the.video... 😫
And here is the picture version of how to make these cuties!
These are the basic supplies you'll need. Not pictured are batting, embroidery floss, cardboard, and glue.
Now fill up the tube with the pellets (or rice, beans, etc.)
Remove the hat and glue the beard in place with hot glue.
Now put the other sock back onto the top for the hat. The sock heel should be facing to the side and the band should be covering the top of the beard. Pull the hat way down in the back so it is on at an angle, high in the front and low in the back, and tack it down with hot glue.
I think these are so cute if I do say so myself!! And you can make these for all the holidays, imagine a little St. Patrick's Day gnome, a 4th of July gnome, etc.!

ReplyDeleteThanks Donna! I know, sometimes the simplest of supplies make the cutest things (as you well know) ;0)
