How to Make a DIY Gnome Garland

Learn how to make a DIY gnome garland for Christmas, using handmade yarn and sock gnomes, and twine. Perfect holiday decor for your mantel!

Make enough yarn and sock gnomes to span the length of your garland, using this DIY gnome tutorial.
I made 5 gnomes for my small mantel's garland. I planned to space them out along the string.
Thread an embroidery needle with embroidery floss.
(I tried to use the thinnest twine I had, but it was still too thick to pass through the sock fabric. Embroidery thread passed through just fine, and is available in many different color options.)
Thread the needle and embroidery floss through the backside of one gnome's hat, above the tied twine section.
Pull the embroidery floss through, bringing the hat and gnome fully onto the garland.
Repeat for all the sock gnomes, adding them in whatever order you choose.
Tie hanging loops at the ends of the embroidery floss and hang up your gnome garland!
You can space the gnomes however far apart you'd like.
If you decide your garland should have more gnomes on it, snip one loop off the end of the garland's string, and thread more gnomes onto the garland.
Then, tie a new loop and hang!

Look for old socks in your drawer that have holes in the soles. Otherwise, look for socks at thrift stores!
Pick an embroidery floss color that compliments the colors of your gnomes. I picked a neutral gray for the floss color.
The gnomes can be spaced close together or further apart, depending on the look you are going for.
