DIY Sock Gnome Tutorial using common household supplies including a Swiffer beard!

Make your own DIY Sock Gnome using just two socks - 1 longer and 1 shorter - about 2 cups uncooked rice - a 1/2 cup measuring cup to pour the rice or as our ACB Crafter friend Courtney suggested a Funnel and a tray to catch any spilled rice - about a 20 mm wooden craft ball - a Dry Swiffer cloth - about 12 to 15 inches of ribbon or twine or yarn - scissors - tape - and glue dots.   Tip:  Some glue dots will not stick very well on fabric.  I ended up adding Elmers glue to the back of the wooden ball to make it stick better.  If you want to make the wooden ball nose stay more permanently you could use fabric glue or even sew on the ball to the sock instead of the temporary glue dot method.
