They are small, cute and sometimes a bit fancy. Mainly they can be seen in many front gardens - of course we are talking about garden gnomes. In our instructions we show you how easy it is to water the small Deco figures concrete garden gnomes yourself. With bright and gaudy colours you are guaranteed to become an eye-catcher in your garden.
First mix approx. 6 tablespoons of concrete with a little water to create a creamy mass. This you put into the latex mould. Carefully try to squeeze the mould slightly from the outside so that the air bubbles rise. Let the concrete dry for at least 24 hours. Now you can remove the casting from the mould. You can remove unclean edges with something Sandpaper smooth it out
The areas that are to be painted with paint later on must be coated in advance with casting compound paint primer. The primer closes the open-pored surface and thus prevents the paint from seeping into the casting. After the painting ground has dried, the dwarfs can be primed with white paint. This makes the colours later on particularly colour-intensive. Now you can design the garden gnomes in your desired colours. In our example we have decided to use bright neon colours, which were only applied to the hat and shoes. After the paint has dried, the shoes were decorated with white dots. The neon colours provide for good mood especially in summer
As soon as the paints have dried, coat the dwarfs completely with weatherproof impregnation. The impregnation gives your castings a permanent seal, protection against dirt and moisture and makes them weatherproof and resistant to weathering. So you can enjoy your cute garden gnomes for a long time.
