Nitrile gloves! 6-8 mil…. 🤗. Oh my! Just watching you play with the cement in the yellow gloves & bare handed…. I had to lotion my hands just from watching 😂🤣😅. But, the little guy turned out adorable! Might give that a try! (Using nitrile gloves of course!) ☺️
My dad has recently started collecting garden gnomes, and he’s been a football coach for almost 20 years now. After searching everywhere for a football garden gnome for Christmas, I’ve decided to make it myself. Your video has given me enough confidence to actually go out and buy the concrete to do it.
Yes, I am retired and travel full-time. I even have all my craft supplies with me for making my Gnomes. Enjoy your videos and your patterns are awesome.
Hey... I love him... I'm going to try and make him... I want one for outside but they're quite expensive and I'm afraid somebody's going to lift it right off my porch.. . As always I laugh at your videos they make me smile... You're so funny sometimes... Even your first one looks just adorable... Thanks for the tip on the tin foil... I don't think I do cement I think I would get the poly clay that you just wait for it to dry... Thanks again.. see you in your next video ...Cheers...
OMG!!! outside gnome!!! I could not wait long enough!! Oh another video I absolutely have to save til I'm done with these 5 mini mushroom gnome! Ps...camping was a blast and again in 3 more weeks!
I can't believe it. I have been wanting to do this I even have all the supplies😜 but I've been having trouble picturing it in my head. THANK YOU! NOW, I am ready to go for it. Thanks for all the tips and your creativity. Those are my favorite colors. ❤
o if it was not for the fact I have to work today 3-10pm I would so be outside making me one of these thank you so very much :) cannot wait to get mine started.
@@SarahNenniDaher I kept hitting the wrong button haha. I filled rubber gloves with cement and made rude gestures with one haha. Then I soaked an old tea towel in cement and draped it over a plant pot and let it dry upside down I saw it somewhere on UA-cam. Not bad for a first attempt but I need to work on it a bit haha x Edited for typo
This Gnome is so adorable. I would definitely like to try this. Thank you for sharing your crafts and imagination with us. Smile Always 😃 Stay Healthy Have a wonderful day 😊 Connie
Hey:) can you please tell me what UV sealant you used? I've never used one so I want to be sure I buy the right kind for my outdoor acrylic painted gnomes:) thank you so much!
Of course. I use two interchangeably (whichever Amazon has in stock for the better price* LOL). My favorites are this one amzn.to/3N8Ql6E and this one amzn.to/3M1DCkH Just make sure to do multiple light coats to avoid any dripping and re-apply every few years. In Seattle, I do it every three years but if you're in a place with a lot of sun, it might have to be done every year to avoid any color fading. Hope that helps, Stacie.

Hahah I do have some of those - my husband bought me tiny ones because all of the ones I could find were too big on my munchkin-sized hands. ;)

Oh really? The blues were just nice and bright without being too "garden gnome," you know? Well I hope you have fun with this!
I hope mine will turn out as good as yours, I actually bought grout tho, I hope it works.

This is awesome. Sweet ..what kind of concrete are you using?
I used an outdoor mosaic cement I got on Amazon. It's here* amzn.to/37mH4sb

I can't find Tin foil where i live, only found aluminum foil. Is this the same thing or do I need to keep looking for it?
Nope, you can definitely use that. :)
This is awesome! Wanna try this with my wife.. any tips on what kind of materials you use.. is it weatherproof so I can put em in the garden?
Nvm on the materials, I just saw your written guide xD
please dont get concrete and cement mixed up cement is only 1 ingrediant of concrete concrete consists of sand, gravel or substitute, cement and water
