Secret Santa door - film evening with Tomte

Well, what has Tomte the elf left for us again? The lovely Christmas elf has once again left a letter for the children that he wrote himself, telling them about a film night. He has also left popcorn bags and a handicraft template for the children.

Our detailed instructions show you step by step how to create your own miniature winter wonderland with enchanting Christmas details, such as a Secret Santa door. Use this craft idea to create an inviting and festive atmosphere and surprise your children with ideas from Tomte the Christmas elf.

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 cinema screen

For the 'cinema screen', first take four wooden sticks and cut off their curves. Then paint them with craft paint in the colour of your choice. Cut a 9x9 cm square out of white felting. Glue two wooden sticks to the top and bottom with hot glue. Now cut another wooden stick with scissors and glue it to the centre of the back of the canvas. Finally, place the canvas on a small wooden disc to hold it in place.

Making woollen 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 in your miniature winter wonderland.

Rug made from felting

To make a beautiful rug, cut out any shape you like from felting. 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 colour of the rug to complete the overall look.

Design 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 recognise their own popcorn box.

Trace the dotted lines with the lace of the scissors and a ruler to make folding easier. Coat the glue flaps 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 gives your miniature scene an extra dose of Christmas magic and creates a festive atmosphere.

Final arrangement

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