Make a DIY Gnome - Part 2

We started this DIY gnome with the foil armature. You can find that video here: https://youtu.be/xXSsRo59Kwo

In Part 2 we finish the gnome. He gets some masking tape to cover the foil, some plaster cloth for the first part of his hard coat, and some Mapai Ultracolor grout. Then his face is sculpted with Magic Sculpt epoxy clay, and he's painted.

A lot of people have already started their gnomes. You can download the free pattern here: https://www.ultimatepapermache.com/gnome

If you want to make a house gnome, you can use paper strips and paste or paper mache clay. You can find the PM clay recipe here: https://www.ultimatepapermache.com/paper-mache-clay
