This is a diy gnome tutorial teaching how to make a vintage mechanic gnome. This is a no sew gnome. In this video I teach you to make a gnome with arms and legs, gnome shoes, a gnome hat and a wrench made with shrinky dink. I will have a video coming soon on how to make the tool box. #diygnome #nosewgnome

Thank you so very much for the Mechanic Gnome! You read my mind! I have a nephew that is a mechanic, and he loves Gnomes and I have been pondering just how to go about this!!! I just finished a male and female Gnome in a tub and this will complete my gift for him and his wife. Again, ty and great tutorial!
Thank you. I’m sure he will love it. I gave mine to a mechanic friend of mine. He has him on his tool box.
Do you have the pattern for the toolbox available? I’d love to make it. Thank You Shirley M Watkins
