I ❤U…I watched so many of your vids you are like the sister I dreamed of having or friend to hang out in do projects with. I always have a few or more projects going on at once. I love creating something from a blank slate come to life. The feeling …I made that! and it makes me happy that I did it!!! We all get ideas from people like you that inspire us. Thank you!
OMG....I am so excited that I found your vid....I've been making boulders for my backyard, and I new I needed something to seal it, I was just using cement and not to happy with the outcome, so I've been doing a few "homemade" recipes of my own, but still not happy, and the boulders are just sitting in my craft studio!! These are huge and I have absolutely no room to work on my miniatures anymore, needless to say, seeing your vid has made my boulders complete, I'll be making the papercrete tomorrow & hopefully by weekend all the boulders will be in the garage drying!! Thanks again for this wonderful recipe/idea !!! Take care hun
I absolutely love your enthusiasm and excitement when you are making “pretties”!!!! I have only seen you a couple of times but you have me hooked!!! So I have to get my supplies and then I hope to be able to start! I’ll let you know how I do!🥰❤️🎶❤️💕
Hello Elizabeth! Oh I do have fun out in Mt workspace😊 I love creating anything really😊 please if you have questions let me know I respond fairly quickly within 24 hours anyway. Where are you viewing from? Good luck getting started. 😊
I was searching and found the same thing.. no tutorials and a language I couldn't understand . Thank you so much for this . You have opened my world up
OH MY HECK!!! I am so glad! 😊 This was my hope. I hope you will continue to follow as I am always creating new content. I do have a regular 8 to 5 job so it takes me a little while. But I will post new videos soon😊 Thank you for your comment Let me know what you want to learn and I will try to help😊
I have one I am working on😃 it is so hot here now 105 degrees yesterday. It is hard to get a day I can spend more than 30 minutes outside. Thank you for checking in😄
I love how impatient you are ! I am the same way !! I was wondering if you had to actually wait for the paper to turn to mush it’s so glad to see you don’t
Hello and thank you for viewing. Oh no I do not wait if I don't have to🤣 I bought a used blender at Goodwill and I use that to mush up the paper. I hope you find the videos useful. Thank you for your kind support😁
Honestly, what type of meanspirited Grinch would hit the dislike button on a craft tutorial? 2 people??? If they don't want to learn about your craft then they should go watch the millions of other videos featuring idiots trying to get rich by doing nothing useful or interesting. There's no shortage of those.... Your videos are very informative and interesting. I love you and the other little cement crafting grandma in Georgia. Keep up with what you love
Thank you. It's all good if some dont find the video useful or easy to watch. I appreciate your kind words. I also enjoy Helen Wyatt in Georgia. Have a great day
Aw! Ih my goodness. Thank you. I am just having fun playing in the mud and want to share the fun. I am happy when folks enjoy the videos just for the fun and I am happy when folks go out and play in the mud and make things. Are you a creator? Where are you from? Will you be trying any of these projects? I hope you have a good day😊
Egg cartons disintegrate in water and make a very nice part paste type goop and no ink that you get when you soak news print or grocery ads. Watching all your videos and planning. I’m a procrastinator. 😊
Hello Thank you for viewing😊 I am happy you find the video useful. These are very popular with my customers. Where are you viewing from? Will you be making these? I hope you will show your creations to me😊
Really, really enjoying your stuff!!! I'm liking, saving & have subscribed. Can't wait to try these with my girls. We're gonna start with the cement pumpkins for Sept/Oct then your pinecone gnomes for Nov/dec. Can't wait & thanks for sharing your talent!!!!
Wow! Thank you for your tip. May I post it on a future video? I really like sharing and learning from each other. Thank you for subscribing. Where do you live in the world?
Thank you so much for viewing and commenting. I do the videos with the hope to inspire others to create. I am very happy you found this useful. I would love to see what you create😊
Oh my goodness Amy, Thank you for your comments. This is my hope that I can give information and that others can be inspired to go out and create. 😁 Please feel free to ask questions and give me feedback and share your ideas with me😁 Look at the other videos and comments of my subscribers you may find more information there😁 Have a great day😁
@@VennasNature , I think I have watched them all at least three times. Lol. I am having trouble getting my mixture to work like clay. The only thing I haven’t tried yet is the joint compound.
If it's too soft add a little more dry cement if it's too stiff add a tiny more water. are you using papercrete? Maybe your paperpulp is not ground fine enough? I hope you will begin to have a better experience. If I can help let me know👍
@@amyland4597 I have not tried that. But I see some people do. Ya I am home from work so I can respond. I enjoy knowing folks are out there being creative😊
Hello Heidi😊 Yes you can make paper pulp ahead. If you are planning on storing it for a while it might mold. I have used mine with in a couple of days. Thank you so much for viewing and your question😊
It does pretty well if it is not in the direct hot sun. Once a year I go out and do a refresh of anything that I do have in direct sun and my sprinklers. I use polycrylic over the paint and when that dries I use crystal clear rustoleum spray paint a couple of coats. I hope this helps 😊
It is so the new wet cement will stick better to the already set cement. You will also want to make sure you have glue or Acrylic bonding agent in the wet cement mix😊
I’m just curious as to how and where you and other cement/hypertufa artists wash your equipments/tools? I use my garden hose and a semi secluded (meaning no grass) area..😊
Yup that's me too. I have a gravel space by my workspace where I clean up. I have a sink that I hook my hose up to it drains onto a bucket and I dispose of that water in the gravel area.
@@peggiejohannesson5581 Oh how lovely. I have only seen Sweden on television on travel shows I like. It is a beautiful country. How are the gnomes coming along?😊
It would be best. And remember how weather effects sidewalks and roads it will do the same to your art. So be selective where you put them in your yard. Where can I see your creations 😊?
@@VennasNature I've cheated and have bought recycled paper pellets that are made for animal cages/litter trays. 5 mins soaking in water and you have a lovely soft slush
PS to my last comment. I had not finished watching your small gnome video and then you started talking about the same thing that I ran across. Other language videos no instruction videos. I am so happy that I just randomly ran across you and I’m now so subscribed. I have no artistic talent my brain thinks I do. I’m going to try to tackle a small now and see what it comes out looking like. Is there anyway you could print a list of how to do the paper Crete cement I know Portland cement, tear up paper, I don’t know if there’s any other items I can use instead of paper. And then I think you said glue in the consistency. So just those three items? For making the cement portion. And I think it would be hilarious if I did a video of myself since I’m one of the people that can only draw stick figures.
Hello Shari, I would love to see your creation and what is nice about gnomes they can look like anything. Yes paper I pulverize it in an old mixer with some water Portland cement Versabond thinset White elmers glueall That's it my newest video with DIY Cement Santa Luminary has the full recipe written in the video. Let me know how it all turns out
Very cool. I may try that on my next project to check out the texture. It's just toilet paper is pricey. Grocery ads are free. I am all about free art supplies👍😊 Thank you Mary for your comment and viewing my content. I will swing over and look at your channel😊

There's a campground near Marfa Texas that is made entirely out of paperCrete!
WOW! I'm going to look that up now! Have a great day😊
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, I'm off to the store for port-land cement and glue.
I'm sorry I did not comment earlier I was at work. I hope you had success today😊 Thank you for joining me😊
❤ Thank you!
For papercrete fireplace logs, sodium silicate is preferred over cement.
Thank you Lucius for your comment😊. I don't know anything about fireplace logs.

@@VennasNature , thank you so much for your quick reply. Do you put dishwashing liquid in your mix sometimes? If so, what are your thoughts?
@@amyland4597 I have not tried that. But I see some people do.

Hi venna do you ever make fairies would love some ideas
It's on my list Kerry.
Thank you for your kind comments and for viewing😁❤️
Can you make batches of the paper pulp without the glue and keep it in Tupperware or something… A jar maybe
Hello Heidi😊 Yes you can make paper pulp ahead. If you are planning on storing it for a while it might mold. I have used mine with in a couple of days. Thank you so much for viewing and your question😊
The Gnome is soo cute
Hello Hazel Thank you for viewing. I am happy you like the gnomes😊 Will you be making some?
How does the outdoor acrylic paint hold up in the different types of weather?
It does pretty well if it is not in the direct hot sun. Once a year I go out and do a refresh of anything that I do have in direct sun and my sprinklers.
I use polycrylic over the paint and when that dries I use crystal clear rustoleum spray paint a couple of coats.
I hope this helps 😊
How did u make hat
Hello! Thank you for viewing😁
Here my link to the video of making the Flower Pot Gnome
ruclips.net/video/AeNjQ9i4hZc/видео.htmlsi=qRowp5kmyYLUYSwY
Fabulous. Do you need to coat your lovely objects with anything to make them waterproof?
Hello Enrica Yes I use Minwax Polycrylic first then two coats of Rustoleum clear gloss spray paint😊
@@VennasNature thank you!
❤😊
What is the purpose of spraying water on the hardened area before you add fresh cement to it?
It is so the new wet cement will stick better to the already set cement. You will also want to make sure you have glue or Acrylic bonding agent in the wet cement mix😊
I’m just curious as to how and where you and other cement/hypertufa artists wash your equipments/tools? I use my garden hose and a semi secluded (meaning no grass) area..😊
Yup that's me too. I have a gravel space by my workspace where I clean up. I have a sink that I hook my hose up to it drains onto a bucket and I dispose of that water in the gravel area.
Hi, just love your videos 🥰 but I wonder how long will it take to dry completely?🤔❤
Hello Peggy. Thank you for viewing. I can paint mine after a week.😊
Peggie where are you in the world?
@@VennasNature I'm in Sweden ❤
@@peggiejohannesson5581 Oh how lovely. I have only seen Sweden on television on travel shows I like. It is a beautiful country.
How are the gnomes coming along?😊
Can you use just regular newspaper or does it have to be the colored glossy paper ? Thank you !
For the papercrete any paper will work aa long as it will pulverize😊
I made a few of these gnomes... Do I have to seal them to keep them in the weather?
It would be best. And remember how weather effects sidewalks and roads it will do the same to your art. So be selective where you put them in your yard.
Where can I see your creations 😊?
Have you tried using white paper and acrylic paint before mixing it with cement?
No I have not ever thought of that. How does it work?
Thank you for your idea. Can you share the recipe?
@@VennasNature I've cheated and have bought recycled paper pellets that are made for animal cages/litter trays. 5 mins soaking in water and you have a lovely soft slush
