Superhero Garden Gnome Mod

Step 2 Supplies

Before starting you'll want to gather your supplies.  Make sure you have everything ready.

• Ceramic garden gnomes
• Sculpey (Super Sculpey is my preference but Sculpey III is good too)
• Bondo body filler
• Craft paint (any type that is rated for ceramics...some aren't. Read the label)
• Paint brushes (artist's and/or craft brushes)
• Spray paint (Clear, outdoor enamel)
• Imagination
• Razor knife (or Xact-o knife)
• Oven (to bake the Sculpey, silly)
• Aluminum foil
• Baking sheet
• Rolling pin (or piece of PVC pipe)
• A smooth, hard surface (such as a sheet of glass or countertop)
• Sand paper (120 grit and 200 grit)
• Wooden spatulas or tongue depressors
• Construction adhesive
• Accessories: such as little buttons, buckles, twine, etc.

You'll also want to have a blank canvas.  So if you are not using a brand new gnome you should take the time to prime it.  That way all of the colors will be vibrant and uniform.
