Very good and your voice is soothing and THANK YOU for no music! I just like a straight forward set of instructions. Great video!

reminds of the nursey rhyme there was an old lady who lived in a shoe had so many children she did not know what to do so she feed them supper without any bread and spanked them all soundly and put them to bed. My kids used to love it

So whimsical. It's so believable, like your little gnomes can actually make a home here. What child or adult for that matter wouldn't be swept away by the magic of this little creation? You, yes you, are an amazing artist and I'm so glad I found your channels. Winters here in north central Idaho can be long and very dreary, where we're socked in with cold and fog for days on end. Your projects are so beneficial in helping me get thru these difficult months. Thank you!

Oh wow, just found you, it was the word GNOMES that hooked me. Got the little folks all around my garden and wanted to add some housing for them! I've got a thing for old boots and have turned them into flower pots, but this would be perfect for my little garden buddies 😂👏🏼👍 With a bit of forethought could make this weather hardy with fabric cement and treated wood and stick it on a stone slab! Mmm, got the old grey cells going like mad now. Thanks so much for the ideas, oh dear yet another project to add to the list 😳 As if it's not long enough already. Lol. With hugs and seasons greetings from one gnome lover to another, not forgetting all other feary folk too. 😘👍

Sharon, I love how you show the revisions that you make as you go along. That's really helpful for people to see how you CAN change things and that it's ok to change your mind

Hello sweet Sharon! Gosh, I have been worried about you! Happy to see you crafting and creating and posting! This boot is so fun! Just love watching you work your magic.

Sharon this is absolutely fantastic! I have decided to make a tree house using your videos for inspiration, and must be the only wife in the world that was delighted when I got tin foil, masking tape, and kitchen roll for Christmas from my husband! (It wasn't all I got but it did make my children look confused) Now I want to make a boot, but I will stick to one project at a time :-) thankyou for your videos, you really do take the time to explain what you are doing and why, they are so useful

I absolutely love your creations and the way you show it evolving as you go. For people (like me) who have a problem starting a project, this is quite effective. It reminds me that I don't have to have it all figured out perfectly to get started. If I use this method, I can always add, change, adapt, remove any parts that didn't quite work the way I thought they would. Your videos are so inspiring!

This looks so good. If I had not watched it I would have thought it was as real old boot. It make s a very cool look. Another great job.

This is absolutely beautiful, your little gnomes will love it. You're so talented. I love how you make everything from cardboard and foil, etc, the results are amazing.

I love watching make stuff please make more I like seeing you video

Love this. I will be making one of these to go with my tree house. The piece you used for the doorknob is actually used as the button for a leather buttonhole on a leather strap. I work with leather. That's how I know that or otherwise it would be a foreign language to me. I love your creations. They have really inspired me. Thank you so much for sharing.

I love it! Sharon you are rock star of foil-paper mache'!

adorable with a massive capital ‘A’, absolutely lovely. What a beauty ♥️

You where born in a world where we need people like you now more then ever true craftsmanship is falling by the wayside but it seems to be alive and well in your little gnome world. Thanks for sharing you made me think of my grandfather he was a woodworker as a hobby and he would spend the evening hours widdling, dremmeling and crafting many things. Little men and animals where some of them I love this it makes me think of him such a kind soul and great teacher like you!

Oh my lord this is just phenomenal I love it, thank you Sharon, I’ll be making these all year 😍😍😍

I have had plans to make a small waterfall with my grandson. I have the people and a few creatures but omgosh this would be perfect. I would just need to spray with a waterproof sealant. This is PERFECT

Hi Sharon I’m so excited to see your back. I literally was saying to my sister I missed your videos and your my absolute favourite KZfaqr. Thank you so much. I’ll watch your video now ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Mom, Is fascinated again by these....

Love the whole vibe of it, you are the Queen of foil and masking tape!

Yay!!!! I have been thinking about you so much and I'm very glad to see you back because I really missed your work. I hope you're having a good festive season. 🥰🥰

What a beautiful addition somewhere around your Gnome homes for family mouse perhaps. I love the fantasy of it, for all ages, its so magical, so magnificient.🙏💕

Sharon, what an absolute triumph! This is one of your best creations yet, it looks so incredibly real! So glad to see you back.

This is absolutely amazing! I love watching your work. Tfs and God Bless 🥰 💜

This is so amazing. Love it as I do all of your videos. Good to see you again and will waiting for your next video.

I love your boot house. It’s adorable. I can’t wait to get started making my own.

I've missed you! The boot is so cute! Your mice and spiders would love living in it. Sad news though. I just found out that there is a mineral that makes the aluminum foil that is getting hard to find now. So we are being informed about not using it much. Good news is, Your projects are so awesome. I'm making my first mini house using twigs from bushes. And I've never done that before. So now I watch how you make the roof and the well. It helped me understand how to make them. I only use the twigs and use wood filler or wood glue. Everything else is what's found outdoors. Thanks for sharing your gorgeous mini homes and other things. Have a great and prosperous year.

Ohhh, I've missed you!!! Thanks for sharing!!

I’m so glad you are crafting again!! Love this magnificent boot!! You are such an inspiration!

That is really good I shall have to give it a go. Your work space is so clean and tidy it makes me embarrassed when I look at mine!

Incredibly adorable!

i love watching your chanel ifirst went on u tube to learn how to make a fairie garden and saw yor vidio how you made the steps om the fsirie house i even got all the materials to make it never did as i realised it could go outside have found another method have done lots of diffrentprojects including a panning for gold with a steam loco and waterfall indians on the rail tunnel because we used to take my exsibet to shows but was nice to see how other folks make things so thanks so much for sharing love the boot and walnut acorn dolls one has to enjoy doing these things sandy uk

Thank you for the tips on drink cartons can't wait to try it. Love your beautiful boot can't wait to see its occupants!!

you're back!!!!! you were so missed! TY for this video!!

So glad to see another video! Very cool. 💜

My brain is screaming in excitement!!!!

How did I miss this tutorial??..😢😢glad I found it..u have been on my mind..hope everyone is doing well..Happy New Year..!!

Maybe you could use a baby's shoe for a "tiny house" version of this? So cute.

You are Amazing. This is just beautiful 😍 Thank you for sharing ❤

I've used my domed chasing hammer to shape aluminum foil armatures. It's really good for thinning the edges of a piece to add to an existing shape so there is very little bulk at the seam.

Yay you're back. You have no idea how much I've missed you. Your boot is gorgeous by the way !

I like the shoe house! Now all it needs is the little old woman, and a lot of children! Thanks for showing how you made the shoe house! ~Janet in Canada

We love your creations and this one is fantastic, thank you for sharing your ideas ❤❤

Oh! You have been very busy. I was wondering where you were, now I know. Glad to see you back! P.S. This is GREAT!

Good to see you back! Hope you had great holidays! You’re very inspiring to make art and hate a soothing voice.

You are incredibly talented! 😊

I love watching your videos. You seem to truly enjoy what you are creating. :). Love the boot! Now I’m inspired to try my own. :)

You are so very talented

Oh! My gosh I LOVE THIS!..You make this look so easy and it really looks like an old boot too.I could just imagine the children running around the place too ,as you really have brought the this beautiful scene to life. .Happy New Year love 🥰

I love it. With those as a display on the table you may imagine all kinds of things like your in a fantasy world.

So glad you’re back!!! I love this!

Awesome build 👍

Wow! This is amazing 👏 good job 👍

Thank you, Sharon. Happy New Year to you, may you be healthier, happier and loved more than ever! You have been my inspiration for many birthdays and Xmas presents and this West Australian fan is very grateful!

Such inspirational pieces, I can't wait to get started, slowly making my way through all your video's haha thank you for sharing your creativity 💖💖

Always giving us great ideas and content. Thanks for sharing!

I want to move into your boot house! ❤

I’m glad to see you are you doing a crochet video please

Thank you for such a wonderful video 👍💜. You’re so informative and interesting

So enchanting!!! The only other embellishment I might suggest is a tiny 'doorbell' at the end of a bootlace. 💖

Wonderful sculpture!

Had missed your videos so much!! Hope you and yours had a wonderful Christmas!! and may the new year be full of all the things your heart wants/needs ♥ This boot house is so cute!! saw Big Mac and some of the mice, can't wait to see Gnomey and what adventures he is up to

Happy new year Sharon,looking forward to more of your wonderful crafting. Love this boot.xx

I love this ! I'm going to attempt myself

Happy New Year. Sharon. really enjoy your videos thank you so much. Love this boot well done all the way from Australia much love xoxox

Happy holidays and a special NewYear to you, Sharon.💞

You did a wonderful job at making the boot house! The little well is so cute too! I love your creativity Sharon. Thank you for sharing. 💜💜💜

Welcome back, love your vid's

Omg! That is just too darn cute. I seriously want to be a mouse and live in your room. It would be so much fun to just explore all day every day and just hang out. You should totally convert yoyr house into a real life version of one of your Gnome homes. That would be so awesome. Of course you'd probably have to up grade your building materials. Maybe hahaha

I love it, it's too cute. Thank you very much for the tutorial I will start making the house by watching your video. I can't wait to see what's next, the decoration of the upstairs room. Maybe I'll put a hinge so that it opens with a small bed, a wardrobe...it's a nice pastime. Thanks again, you are awesome. Anne Marie.

Love it!

Fantastic love it 🙌💓💯👏

So happy to see you creating!!! Love the boot. So much character.❤️🍄❤️

Amazing work as usual. Sharon I love ur works . happy holidays 💖

I have watched this video so many times now, I just love it! I would love to see more ideas like this of smaller projects as the tree house I am making following your videos is turning out quite large lol, and we are running out of space in my kitchen ha ha x

So cute. It makes my day when I see one of your videos is up!🎉😊🎉

You have the patience of Job. That's pretty neat stuff! The mice are cute. Do you make those, too?

Wow that’s something! So detailed!

oh my I seen this and started one .....your work is so easy to follow and such inspiration...thank you i will post on Facebook when finished!

From now on when I see a lone boot at the side of the road, I will envision the mate to it as a little house in the woods.

So cute and charming.❤❤

Hi Sharon … I just want to say I Love all your projects!! You are an inspiration and I can’t wait to start making some projects that you have done. I’m really looking forward to seeing how mine turn out. I do have a question though … are your projects safe for outdoors or just inside?

I've made a few items with tinfoil and pepper towel there awesome and so relaxing to watch and make love your work .are these indoor items only?

Genius

Thanks!

Soñare' con el pozo de los deseos.

Great

Hi I use cling flim and then instead of masking tape I use sellotape going around and around until really stiff I then I make I slit to help u take it off.. I then use sellotape to cover the cut I cover the whole boot even the sole 👢 then I but tin foil over it just a different way of doing Hope u don't mind me saying things

Ok...this is a weird comment. I have watched this video many, many times. (I really enjoy your videos). But this is the first time I have noticed the teapot in the upper right on your desk. Is that a seashell shaped teapot? A conch shell maybe? That is so cool. Really nice. I assume there isn't a lid. Bummer. But still very unique. (Told you it was a weird comment)
