Step-by-step instructions for your Secret Santa door winter wonderland

Painting miniature furniture

Give your miniature furniture a festive feel by painting it with craft paints. Use a marker for accents, such as detailed brickwork on the fireplace. Be creative and give your furniture a unique, Christmassy touch.

Craft a movie screen

For the "movie screen", first take four wooden sticks and cut off their curves. Then paint them with handicraft paint in your desired color. Cut a 9x9 cm square out of white felt . Glue two wooden sticks to the top and bottom with hot glue. Now cut another wooden stick with scissors and glue it to the center of the back of the canvas. Finally, place the canvas on a small wooden disk to hold it in place.

Making wool blankets

Cut two 9x9 cm pieces from green craft felt. Fold them together and fix them with hot glue to create cosy little woollen blankets that will fit perfectly into your miniature winter wonderland.

Carpet felt

To make a beautiful rug, cut out any shape you like from felt . In our example, we have chosen a circle with a diameter of 10 cm. You can use your creative freedom and vary the shape and color of the rug to complete the overall look.

Designing popcorn boxes

Print out the templates for the popcorn boxes and transfer them to motif cardboard. using graphite paper. Cut out the boxes.

Tip: Use different contour scissors to shape the top ends so that everyone can recognize their own popcorn box.

Trace the dotted lines with the tip of the scissors and a ruler to make folding easier. Coat the glue tabs with handicraft glue and put the boxes together.

Attach the door wreath

Decorate your Secret Santa door by attaching a small door wreath with hot glue. This will give your miniature scene an extra dose of Christmas magic and create a festive atmosphere.

Final arrangement

Now arrange all the elements you have made to your liking. Set up the pieces of furniture, place the canvas and distribute the small woollen blankets and the rug. This will create your own individual miniature winter wonderland that perfectly complements your Christmas decorations.
