[@SarahNenniDaher]

Awww thank you so much and yep, I have been in the craft room or designing on the computer nearly every day this year.

[@Donnam31770]

I love this Gardening Gnome! It reminds me of my late Grandpa who was a farmer and always wore a straw hat, of course without the flowers, and he wore denim work coveralls, but again no apron. I will have to make a few of these for my family with a few changes using denim!n. Thank you for the idea!

[@georgenecolon9133]

Your gnome and tutorials are marvelous 😘 !!! I’ve learned sooo much from you. I can’t thank You enough. I may not be able to make everyone of the gnomes , but I still get just enough pleasure watching and learning from each each video.

[@SarahNenniDaher]

[@lanajantz2240]

I like it when you go boop on the nose. Just cheers me up for some reason.

[@SarahNenniDaher]

Same, Lana. That boop is a happy thing, indeed. :) Thank you so much for watching.

[@nancywells4460]

So adorable!!! TY- there was a bit od an issue with the tutorial at times out of camera range so I think I can figure those spots out (I hope).

[@SarahNenniDaher]

Thanks, the pattern will have the full instruction - this is just working through those steps. :)

[@lindamaisano4148]

How is the apron made? I think I can figure it out but I would love to see how you did it

[@SarahNenniDaher]

The apron video is here: kzbin.info/aero/PLelQvRmnsDrcJlnE6kfBLBrhU5ADSbAxz

[@maureenmate7093]

I have questions about making the tools because I've never crafted with clay. Are you using the kind of clay that gets baked? I see you have Sculpy III on your Amazon list. Is there wire in the clay tools? Did you paint them or use grey clay? How tall are the tools?

[@SarahNenniDaher]

Great questions, Maureen. The tools are only a few inches high, I just eyeballed them so they stuck out of the apron pocket. The clay I used was Sculpey II (but, yes the kind you bake) in white for the handle and metallic gray for the tops. I used the same 12 gauge wire I used on the gnome (just a straight stick of it) and built the handle around it. Then I made the tops and to join them together, I left a piece of the wire sticking out of the handle and pressed the tip into it. Then I just blended it with my fingers. I baked it per the package instructions. I used a floral napkin from the Dollar Tree and decoupaged it onto the white handles and then sealed it with the clay sealant but I am pretty sure you could seal with ModPodge or lacquer and be fine. Does this help?

[@nancygreer2263]

Excited for this too! One of my friends is a Master Gardener with a little shop and I want to make this and embroider her a matching half apron with gardening designs on the pockets. 💕🪴🌺🌹🌷🌻

[@SarahNenniDaher]

Oh wow, gardening is SUCH a talent (one I don't have). And wow, embroidery? I love that idea.
