Thanks! We are so glad we could rescue that planter - it's one of our favorites! We considered painting the crack but opted instead to just buy a plant that would ultimately spill over and cover it up. From far away, you can't see the crack, even with it exposed/not covered yet by the plant. ;)

Thanks! It's so nice to have everything organized. :)

Thank you!

Thanks so much!

Thanks! We love how it turned out. 😄

This looks awesome! Great job. :)

All good! We're all learning here. :)

This is amazing!! Great job on the bench and Instructable. 😀

Thank you! It’s amazing how sturdy they are. 😀

It fees SO good to get all that stuff organized! And it was really easy to do. Let us know if you try it!

Foam board is made with paper + foam. The foam is in the middle, giving it extra sturdiness. The paper outsides are why we recommend not using alcohol to clean that surface before adhering the cord clips. Hope this helps!

Yay! I'm so glad you found us as well. :) Glad to hear that Instructables helps you. :)

Thanks!

I think this would work great for a ya or fort! But I also think you should get a dog. Dogs rule! 😉

Thanks! Glad you like it!

Thank you!

Oh cool! Plywood patterns are so fun to work with. Are you going to do an instructable on it sometime? And thanks for your kind words. :)

That looks awesome! Love how it’s multifunctional.

Thanks! We did consider that, but we opted against rocking because we wanted the side tables more (which wouldn't function well with a rocking motion). :)

Voted - awesome project!

Oh yay! Your gnome looks awesome!! Thanks for sharing this with us. 😄

They're not terribly heavy as separate balls, but they can get weighty all together. That being said, the overall strength of the balls is going to depend on the proportions of your concrete mixture. I'd just recommend keeping little Billy and his baseball bat away from your snowman. :)

Oh how cute!! Thank you for sharing. :)

Oh Gnobert is awesome! Love the different greenery you chose and the addition of the feet - so creative! Thanks so much for sharing him with us. Happy Holidays! :)

Oh these look GREAT! Thank you so much for sharing. I'm glad you could spread some holiday cheer with them. :)

Oooooh - that would be cool! Can't wait to see what you end up doing. :)

Thank you! So glad you like him. :)

Thank you!!!! So glad you like it. :)

Oh thank you! Yes, he's a larger than life gnome, but great for the front porch!

He's SO cute, and the pictures are GREAT! Voted. :)

Oh yay! Please do post a picture if you make one. They're so fun and easy!!

Thank you!! So glad you like it!

Thank you so much! We're so glad you like it, and we appreciate the vote!! I think a styrofoam ball could work for the nose, depending on the paint. When I was younger, I spray painted some styrofoam balls and they disintegrated (not sure if the spray paints of today would do that, but I had a sad solar system that year for class - ha!). Otherwise, I think that should work.For your other question - if I didn't have tomato cages, I'd probably try to find a couple of embroidery hoops (or something similar) and three or four wood dowels to attach and make a cone shape. If you have any of those Christmas tree cones laying around, that could work, too... I'll keep thinking and will let you know if I think of any other tomato cage substitutes. Let me know if you end up making a gnome! :)

Thank you!!! :)

Those look GREAT!!!! Thanks for sharing. :) Happy holidays!

Thank you!!! We're so happy with how it turned out.

Thank you! (And sorry for the delayed reply - we weren't getting notifications of comments like we usually do). :)

Hey! I'm SO sorry for the delayed reply - we weren't getting notifications of comments on our instructables. First, congrats on getting your Maker! You're going to love it!We covered the outside of the stencil with painter's tape to cover the parts of the door that were not covered by the stencil. It's easier to see this part and why I added the painter's tape in the video. As for your second question: The stencil *is* adhesive, but unless your surface is 100% flat (think sanded up to like 600 grit), you're going to have the potential for bleed. The Mod Podge goes over the area you want to paint. It essentially seals the edges of the stencil.

Thank you!!!!

Thank you!!!

Yay! I’m so glad you like it!! If you wouldn’t mind giving it a vote in the holiday contest, we’d appreciate it! 😄

Thank you! We hope he brings other as much holiday cheer as he does to us!

Thank you!! ❤️🎄🙏🏻

Hey! Sorry we missed this. We use placemats and/or coasters on it, so we haven't tested it with direct heat. However, it is a table top epoxy, so it's probably got some resistance. We'd recommend researching the different resins available to pick the one with the best heat resistance.

Putting the seal coat directly on the oil-stained wood isn't recommended. Some resins *may* be fine with it, but ours wasn't. In the first attempt, we skipped that step, and the stain rejected the resin in some spots, causing it to push away and created a really uneven and unusable coat of resin (we show all the issues we had on the first attempt at the end of the video). After that happened, we checked our resin brand, and it specifically said that it doesn't work well with oil-based stains. That being said, if you don't stain your wood, you can put the resin seal coat directly on bare wood (or wood that's been painted with a water-based paint). It's just something to do with the oil that makes the poly necessary. Hope this helps!

Thank you!! It was surprising how easy it was, and it's holding up well, too!

Thank you! So glad you like it. :)

Thank you!! We're really glad you like it!

Thanks!
