Viewer Question (put elsewhere): Question Sarah: this is about your mini mushroom. If I use Sculpey Clay for around the mushroom and his feet do I have to Bake it? I'm not at all used to clay. So if I do bake it can I do it before I start the project? I love your work but I feel like a real rookie. 😁🥰♥️ We're ALL rookies at some point. :) And I will put this comment on that video, because if you asked it, someone else is probably thinking about it, too. If you are using a ceramic mushroom that has NO paint on it (the Dollar Tree ones), you can use Sculpey's polymer clay you bake in the oven. I use Sculpey II or Sculpey III most of the time. If you are using a non-ceramic (plastic, vinyl, etc.) or painted ceramic (Hobby Lobby, Joann's, etc.) mushroom, you need to use Sculpey's Air Dry clay and NOT put anything in the oven. Amazon has both. Craft stores usually carry polymer clay by Sculpey and air dry clay by DAS. As to the process, add the clay to the mushroom. Bake or let it air dry - no need to pre-bake anything at all.
Very adorable...you super funny in this video too...I have some mushroom tops already ..perfect for these...Thanks for sharing...it's 330 am ..can't sleep...gr..gr...
@@SarahNenniDaher lol, don't know where the word finally came from but I'm tired of my phone throwing in words on me. Its suppose to say, I'm impressed . Who would gave though a Dollar Tree knick knack could be a gnome.
So you did bake it even though the mushroom itself is already painted. Got it after watching about 5 times or so...lol..you talk so fast! LOL LOVE IT!!!
@@SarahNenniDaher My DT that is closest to me is small and messy and hardly has anything that I need so frustrating! I usually call around to different DT that aren't close to see if they have what I need first, because I am disabled and gas is expensive to waste if I go to other DTs and they don't have what I want or need and walking for long periods of time is not my friend.
No, it hasn't for me or the many others who've tried it and shared in the DIY gnomes group on Facebook. That said, if your oven runs hot, start at only 20 minutes or so (Sculpey has some good tips out there).
Ok Sarah... question again.....I am going crazy with these little guys but I can't help it I love them!!! Ok I could not find any mushrooms at my Dollar Store any more so I ordered them from Amazon plus Sculpeylll clay but the mushrooms look already painted so what do I do??? Bake or No bake??? Or should I use some air dry clay?? I'm confused because I never used clay before but absolutely love this little gnome and now I can make 3 if I want because that's how they come from Amazon! 😀HELP!!!!!
Hahah - these cuties do steal the heart. :) Okay, so you will have to link me to what you bought because I don't know what you bought. I purchased ceramic. If that is what you purchased, you can definitely use polymer clay and bake them in the oven. Start at 20 minutes, but it might need up to 30. If you purchased plastic or or vinyl, air dry clay and no oven. You can send me the link to what you purchased and I'll see if it can get more specific.
Sorry didn't read that you kind of answered my question but still a bit confused. The mushroom top is painted but the body is raw so you suggest I air dry it? So I need Sculpey Air Dry or DAS? Guess I need different clay.
This gnome is absolutely adorable! I love it! Where do I get clay to work with? That's the only thing I really would love to have for any of my gnome projects. I just love All your gnomes!♥️
Thank you for the sweet words, April. I picked up Sculpey clay on Amazon (they have it at craft stores, too). If you can't find the ceramic mushrooms, some of the craft stores have plastic ones and the air dry clay would work just as well. Have fun!
Thank you so muçh for the information on the clay and where to get it and all other information! I absolutely love this little mushroom gnome for spring! .....Linda K is is April MADISON. Have a great day!😀💖
Thanks so much for answering me. I am so glad to find out that I can get what I'm missing from Amazon! Saves me a big trip and I can just walk to Dollar Tree. I'm so thrilled with your gnomes! Have a great day and stay safe!🥰♥️

So cute. Hope I can find the supplies my next trip to DT
Right, that's the hardest part!
I love him! Thank you so much for the shout out. That means so much that means to me. And thank you for being so inspiring with all that you do. ❤❤
Of course - I love that you were so kind to share your ideas with all of us. :)
😀❤️
O he is so cute.Are you going sale them.🍄🍄
Hi love the mushroom gnome. When you bake the clay will the ceramic gnome crack. Cheers Bea

If the top is glazed (like mine), you can bake it. If it is not, link me to the product and I'll try and help.
I loved this tutorial, thank you for sharing it with us. Can you please tell me the name brand of the clay you used and where you purchased it?
I used Sculpey clay and picked it up on Amazon (though they do have it in craft stores).
@@SarahNenniDaher Thank you

You can find white Sculpey at Walmart.
@Matt Urban Thanks for the added information!
How long did you bake it ?
I'm pretty sure it was 230 F for about 30 minutes (though I would start at 22-25 if you don't know if your oven runs hot).
So what clay did you use for this gnome?
Sculpey III for the beige, FIMO for the fig leaf in dark green.
@@SarahNenniDaher thanks so much Sarah you answered so many questions! Now I can make my mini mushroom gnomes. I'm in heaven!!
