Miniature snow landscape with gnome house

There is hardly anything more magical than a miniature snow-covered winter wonderland to give your home a special flair. With these detailed step-by-step instructions, you can conjure up an enchanting wintery eye-catcher that will make more than just children's eyes light up. Let your creativity run wild and create your own little world in which a charming gnome house plays the leading role.

Create your own miniature snowy landscape with gnome house

Step 1: Design the gnome house

Start by painting your gnome house. Use the VBS Craft paints and get creative; whether classic red and white or bright colors - it's up to you! Make sure to allow each layer of paint to dry well to achieve a clean result. Once the paint has dried, stick the star foil to the inside of the wooden parts of the house. This will create a beautiful glowing effect when you light up your gnome house later.

Step 2: Assembling and fixing

Now it's time to assemble the gnome house. The individual wooden parts are fixed piece by piece with the VBS handicraft glue piece by piece. Allow the glued joints to dry thoroughly to ensure that your house is stable. A little tip: Don't be too sparing with the glue, but at the same time make sure that no excess remains visible.

Step 3: Design the snow landscape

Now it's time for the base of your landscape. Use a plastic spatula to apply the decorative snow to a decorative plate. This forms the wintry base for your gnome house. While the snow is still wet, you can add small trees and a straw cart to the scene. These elements will give your landscape more depth and an authentic touch.

Step 4: Add the finishing touches

If desired, apply some decorative snow to the bottom edge of the cottage. This gives the whole thing a seamless look. Important: The gnome house must not be glued to the decorative plate, as the switch for switching the lights on and off is located under the house and must remain accessible.

Step 5: Final assembly

Once everything is thoroughly dry, lean a small ladder against the decorative panel from the outside. Finally, place the gnome house on the prepared snow landscape. You and your visitors will be enchanted by the sight of a carefully designed miniature world.
