Hi welcome back. We missed you. Love love love him. He is so cute. His eyes are awesome. Again welcome back. And thank you for sharing. From Alberta Canada
"Candolf the Grey" was suggested, along with other brilliant names but looking at his face I think he needs something more "real". I'll know it when I hear it. He looks like he thinks wise old thoughts, lol so I want something to reflect that..
Love love love how he turned out! Such a creative and awesome way to recycle instead of throw away. As for name ideas, how about "Old Weatherbark" or "Old Man Stump"
Thank you so much! I have this picture in my head about walking into my craft room one day and it will be an entirely different world, lol I'm on the way.. lots to do yet. And thank you for the kind words, that means a lot. Happy crafting!
How nice to see your forest once more! As for your trash bin, on FB I suggested Venerable Mungus, but I kept thinking.... In honor of Treebeard (Tolkien) perhaps Onod, which in Sindarin, (Tolkien's invented Elvish language), the word for Ent. Loved seeing you create again. Thanks so much, Sharon.
I never thought a trash can could look so amazing! Love it! Thank you for taking the time to show me how. So glad your problem mold is gone. Have a great week.
Thank you so much, he is awesome. I am teaching a paper mache’ class in the fall and fairy houses will be one of our projects, this has refreshed my ideas .. love your technique!
I love this ..It’s just so creative,but your whole craft room is just like walking into a fart land and why not have a bin that follows the whole theme...I love home,it was amazing watching him come to life ...I think he needs an old name like Eldred ,I don’t know what it’s meaning is but it’s a widely used name from 1300/1400 Medieval period and I think he deserves an old a tie to name ..Love n Light 🥰
it's unfortunate that youtube makes people hit that bell at all, it makes sense if one subscribes it would be because they want to see the videos, lol And thank you!!
I love him!!! I want one now. Haha 😃 You should see the 18"pumpkin I made. Creeps me out! LOL Thx for the video. Love your work and appreciate all the helpful tips you give too. 😊 Patty
An idea for people who want out side projects: I have watched on other channels featuring cement planters instead of paper mache. They did cloth in thin set cement. You can create almost the same texture and of course the painting had to be sealed if using acrylic paint. It's the only thing that IV ever seen that is featured out side.
I've never tried this but others have told me that sealing their projects, (made from the materials shown in this video) with an exterior sealer worked for them, you'd have to seal every part though so no moisture seeps in
You kind of hinted about him one day being outside. I think he would make an awesome planter. Maybe put a jar inside the the potted plant sitting on the jar. Folage would look cool. I want to make these with different shaped old buckets etc...but for outside?? Please respond thx @wherethegnomeslive
I hinted about him being outside? I don't recall saying that, my apologies if I did though.... all my builds are for interior, they're all inside my craft room and will stay there. Anything that goes outside would have to be sealed first with an exterior sealer. I've never done it myself but others have told me it worked for them. I don't know the best product to use but I'm sure you could ask at your local paint store, they should know. As for a planter, I want to make one of those too and thinking about what I've seen for sale, like planter baskets, they are lined with plastic on the inside so that's what I will do when I make one. It might become a project for a video!
@@WhereTheGnomesLive I was thinking even him or as someone suggested in the comments..a free man. Plastic liner or even gravel in the bottom of the bucket and setting a potted plant in it. I'll try the sealer idea. Thank you!! Luv your channel!
So happy you're back, sorry to hear about the mold situation. I hope it's all worked out now, and you can relax. Absolutely love this little guy! I think I might have to do this to my little trash bin in my craft room. It keeps tipping over too. Very annoying. Who designed those things, anyway? heh Thank you so much for sharing. I love learning from you. Now if I can get over my nerves and actually make something with your techniques. This might just be a good place to start. If I mess it up, well, it's a trash can. So no harm done.. haha Thank you, Sharon.. again, very glad to have you back.
Love love your channel!! I am going to try my hand at fairy gardens and a large one in the corner of my living room. Of course while watching ALL of your videos. Thanks bunches 💗💗💗
Wow again you have so much talent I love the tree bin another thing I want to try arghhhh hahaha im trying to pack house to move but I want to unpack all my arts and craft stuff and give these a go, going to have to dedicate a room for forest and gnomes. Or maybe my whole garage as I don't drive 😁😁 he needs a bird roosting above his eyebrows lol Name: Barkly
You should consider putting a few of your smaller pieces up on Etsy and then linking the shop to your UA-cam channel. Many Creators are doing it with the stuff they make for videos. Don’t forget to value your time and effort. If you build it, people will come! Because I’d sure as heck pay money for that Garbage can if I’d seen it on Etsy.* *it’s the scrunching part, my hands are very painful. I can’t even write a note or fill out a form in one shot. I suppose that’s why we have kids though besides reading the directions on those blasted labels we used to laugh at our parents about.

You did an amazing paint job! you get such wonderful depth when you play around with very deep colors and bright highlights, and it was a really nice touch adding some color (the red) to it, I may not be a pro painter, but I do have quite a few years under my belt, and personally, I think you hit a home run with depth, layers and contrast, you simply brought it to life :) 💜 (which aint always simple)
This is one of THE MOST clever things I have seen for upcycling I have ever seen and lends so well to the fantasy world. I have not thought a whole lot on papier mache' because I'm wanting things that will be OK outside. Maybe with a good sealer it would be OK protected by the roof of the deck? I live in the PNW near Seattle so as a rule it's fairly humid and rains often most of the year. What do you think? Either way my gnomes & fairies will have one of the trees from other vids you have done. I love the results. (Yes, still binge watching your channel! lol) Thanks for sharing so many great tips & ideas!
I'm in LOVE with your garbage can too Sharon. And I never thought a garbage can could have so much personality. 😄 The mushrooms and moss are the perfect touch. ❤❤❤ What have you named him?
thank you, and yes it is! He's a custom made doll from Kim's Sticks and Strings. If you 're on facebook, here's a post I did last year about him facebook.com/wherethegnomeslive/posts/2458727027753658
I use him for my craft room garbage which is just dry, mostly paper and foil. And thanks! I love him so much too. I like that name! I was thinking Candolf the Grey but since this video I actually added a bit more brown to him so he no longer suits a "grey" name. I'm waiting for that "perfect" name, the one that will just fit, I'll know it when I hear it.. but Horace is cool too, I do like it :)
Do you ever have any problems with the masking tape drying out and coming away from the plastic trash can!? By the way I love these. , from one artist to another! 😁😁😁😁 Have you tried a sponge or a pallet knife to spread the paint around? Just another option.? A few leaves he would look like a green man!
no, never. I have a small gnome house I built over a coffee can in 2013 and it's as solid as the day I built it. The paper towel gets overlapped so many times it creates one solid piece, once the paper towel dries nothing under it is going to separate unless you take it apart yourself. I've never built over plastic before though, the only part where it might be possible, (way in the future) would be the inside edge where the plastic can is exposed.. if it ever did I would just add a paper towel layer to the inside and all the way to the bottom creating a whole new surface then I would seal it in with a varnish. And I've had the Green Man on my mind, he might be the next video, I don't know for sure and it's not a promise, but I'm getting that feeling, lol
Does anyone know how these kind of structures stand up to the outside elements? If I were to use these materials to build outside in a forest, how would they hold up? Could I use an exterior varnish to give them enough protection do you think? Thanks :)
I haven’t done it myself but others have told me that an exterior varnish worked for them. I would imagine a sealer with the least amount of shine… this year I do plan on testing out the exterior sealer myself and see how it works. But I do hope that helps!
You are the “Bob Ross” of paper towel, glue, foil and tape. That is so cool, I love it! I need to make one for my craft room!
I accidentally found your channel a few days ago. BEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN! Thank you for sharing your creativity.
Hi welcome back. We missed you. Love love love him. He is so cute. His eyes are awesome. Again welcome back. And thank you for sharing. From Alberta Canada
Thank you very much ❤️
I cannot wait for the new videos and a tour of the gnome home!!!
This little old man is gorgeous.
He's fantastic and what a wonderful way to hide a trash can but make it fit in your space.
I really love his color! Adding the mushrooms is brilliant! I love how it gives him a pop of extra color!!
Ha. - have that mushroom book - fun project! TFS!
Glad you're back. He is fabulous. Can't wait to hear his name.
"Candolf the Grey" was suggested, along with other brilliant names but looking at his face I think he needs something more "real". I'll know it when I hear it. He looks like he thinks wise old thoughts, lol so I want something to reflect that..
Oh Sharon hes a great stump lol
You never cease to amaze me with your trees
Nice to see you again
🇦🇺🌺❤️
I'm so glad you think so, thanks very much for the kind comment. You made me smile!
Love love love how he turned out! Such a creative and awesome way to recycle instead of throw away. As for name ideas, how about "Old Weatherbark" or "Old Man Stump"
I believe I will make this for my sister's plant room. She will love the style. 😊
Yet again...another amazing project! Your craft room belongs in a museum, it's sooo cool! Your instruction is so easy to follow too.
Thank you so much! I have this picture in my head about walking into my craft room one day and it will be an entirely different world, lol I'm on the way.. lots to do yet. And thank you for the kind words, that means a lot. Happy crafting!
He turned out wonderfully!
Ooooh name ideas!!!

He's just great Sharon! I love the mushrooms too.

He is amazing! I love watching you work whether it is with paper towels and glue or yarn! You are a true artist!
Thank you so much! And I pictured the creatures coming for advice as I read what you wrote, lol I think you're right about that!
YES!!! Missed you!! I am so glad you are back!! Great project and great instructions!!!
I love him!!! I want one now. Haha 😃 You should see the 18"pumpkin I made. Creeps me out! LOL Thx for the video. Love your work and appreciate all the helpful tips you give too. 😊 Patty
You did a great job, thanks for teaching us your technique.
Love, love, love!!! I will have to postpone my next project and put this there! I'm glad you are back!

thanks so much!! But I do use him everyday, as the trash can in my craft room, he makes me smile and he does a great job lol ❤️
Oh my goodness 😍 totally love it! I love all the creativeness that you come up with. Keep doing what you do😁👍
Thank you so much!!
AMAZING TUTORIALS THANK YOU. YOUR VERY TALENTED

Way Kool I'll never look at a plain ole garbage can the same anymore.
Stunningly beautiful 🙌💓
Thank you very much!! 😊

Can dolf
ohhh love! And so funny because before he was finished I told my kids he reminded me the statues in LOTR! CanDolf is a great name, lol
Harikasınız. Çok beğendim
I always looove the mushrooms! Can’t wait to get back to u building rooms ect..this is amazing!..hope u r inspired and do more videos!
Fantastic!!! 💗

Great job. Herman is a nice name
Henry or Hank for names. He turned out amazing!
I love him and would like to try one for my son. Yours looks like an "Olaf" to me.
How sturdy is it?
It's amazing!

You are so amazing, I enjoy your work soooo much! Do you have a link to building a nest? I thought I saw one in your tree house. Again you are a joy.
I'm in LOVE with your garbage can too Sharon. And I never thought a garbage can could have so much personality. 😄 The mushrooms and moss are the perfect touch. ❤❤❤ What have you named him?
Gotta try him. Ohh yeah.
Love it
I can't wait to get started on one of these. Um, what type of moss are you using-Spanish or another type?
I want one! Call him stumpy 😂
Love the trash can. Did you name him yet? If not, my vote is for Quercus (kwur-kus) Latin for oak but more because he's a quirky trash can.
Hé is soooooo awesome. How about “Reus” for his name, it means giant in Dutch.
A new subbie from the Netherlands
heyyyyy waving from Canada!! Thanks for subbing and for the great name suggestion too :)
Great name, and Reus is so close to reuse!!!
He is wonderful!! How about Barktholemew or woody?
Hi welcome back. I Love it when I see a new post from you. Hey is that a little Bob Ross Doll sitting on the shelf behind your work area?
thank you, and yes it is! He's a custom made doll from Kim's Sticks and Strings. If you 're on facebook, here's a post I did last year about him facebook.com/wherethegnomeslive/posts/2458727027753658
Amazing✨
Thanks 😆
Beautiful :)
Thank you! 😊
WOW Just WOW!
🤍🖤🤎💜💙💚💛
I don't think I could use him as a garbage can after all that work. Ilove him so much. I think Horace is a great name for him?
I use him for my craft room garbage which is just dry, mostly paper and foil. And thanks! I love him so much too. I like that name! I was thinking Candolf the Grey but since this video I actually added a bit more brown to him so he no longer suits a "grey" name.

King Solomon. He looks like he has seen everything and is very wise.
what a fantastic name! I like that a lot
I love his face sooooo much!! I would like to try to make this without using a trash can. Could I just use a box or cardboard?
Absolutely, you can use anything really. Have fun!
@@WhereTheGnomesLive thank you!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Do you ever have any problems with the masking tape drying out and coming away from the plastic trash can!?
By the way I love these. , from one artist to another! 😁😁😁😁
Have you tried a sponge or a pallet knife to spread the paint around? Just another option.? A few leaves he would look like a green man!
no, never. I have a small gnome house I built over a coffee can in 2013 and it's as solid as the day I built it. The paper towel gets overlapped so many times it creates one solid piece, once the paper towel dries nothing under it is going to separate unless you take it apart yourself. I've never built over plastic before though, the only part where it might be possible, (way in the future) would be the inside edge where the plastic can is exposed.. if it ever did I would just add a paper towel layer to the inside and all the way to the bottom creating a whole new surface then I would seal it in with a varnish. And I've had the Green Man on my mind, he might be the next video, I don't know for sure and it's not a promise, but I'm getting that feeling, lol
I would name him Marshall!
Does he have a name yet? Surely it has to be Dusty Byn. TY for sharing.
My 8 year old suggested that you name him Wooden Bob 😂.
hahaha that's funny!
Can these be used outdoors please ?? X
name suggestion: Findorf
Does anyone know how these kind of structures stand up to the outside elements? If I were to use these materials to build outside in a forest, how would they hold up? Could I use an exterior varnish to give them enough protection do you think? Thanks :)
I haven’t done it myself but others have told me that an exterior varnish worked for them. I would imagine a sealer with the least amount of shine… this year I do plan on testing out the exterior sealer myself and see how it works. But I do hope that helps!
💖💖🎶🎶
Can you put this outside
Is it possible to have this as a flower pot for outside and make it water proof?
You would have to seal the material with an exterior sealer
