Bring the magic of the gnomes to life: Your step-by-step instructions
Step 1: Prepare templates
Firstly, print out the templates for your gnome. Cut them out carefully so that you can use them as stencils later. These templates are the basis for the perfect shape of your charming gnome.
Step 2: Transfer to felting and faux fur
Now take a sublimating pen to transfer the outlines of the templates onto the felt and faux fur ribbon. A sublimate pen is a special marking pen whose lines dissolve by themselves when heated or after a certain amount of time. Then cut out the pieces precisely.
Step 3: Attach the beard and nose
Use hot glue to attach the cut-out beards to the glasses. Then glue the wooden hemisphere directly onto the beard as a cute nose. These little details give your gnome its unique charm.
Step 4: Mould the hat
Apply a thin line of hot glue to the long side of the felting. Then roll the felting into a hat. Make sure that the edges are neatly finished so that the hat has a nice, even shape.
Step 5: Fill the jars
Place an LED tea light with a timer in each jar. These lights not only provide a soft glow, but are also safe to use. The timer allows you to switch the lights on and off automatically, so you don't have to worry about operating them.
Step 6: The final assembly
Press the lid firmly onto the jar. Now place the previously moulded cap on the closed part of the jar. This cap completes the look of your gnome and makes the illusion perfect.
