Restoring Vintage Garden Gnomes- Easy How to Paint Gnomes

Today I am sharing a little DIY tutorial about how I re-painted some vintage garden gnomes! It was a lot of fun and I think they came out pretty cute!

I tried my best to explain the steps I took for the project, if you have any questions or other helpful tips please leave in the comments!

What I Used:
Gnome Vintage gnome with some wear from over the years
-Sand paper: To create some texture for the new paint to grab onto
Acrylic Paint: Any brand will do I just used what I already had! You can purchase it relatively inexpensively at a craft store, Walmart, Dollar Tree, etc.
-Paint brushes: A little variety of shapes and sizes is best to be a little more precise!
Clear Gloss Varnish Spray: Acrylic paint will not last outside in the elements adding a gloss varnish spray will help the paint last longer and add a nice glossy effect! I purchased this for about $4 from a home improvement store but it is available at craft stores, Walmart, etc.
-Sharpie: I used this to do the small eye details along with some paint. You can use paint if you have a detail brush or q-tip!
