Design Secret Santa packaging: A creative guide

The gnome beard

Cut out the beard parts: Take white felt and cut two beard pieces from it - one larger and one smaller. The contrast of the sizes creates an impressive depth effect and makes your elf look particularly lively.
Glue the beards together: Glue the smaller beard in the middle of the larger felt piece. This layering gives the gnome's face dimension and character.
Attach the beard: Now attach your designed beard to the top of the cardboard cone. The upper end of the cone serves as a lid to hold the beard securely in place.
Attach the nose: To finish off the face, glue a small wooden hemisphere in the middle of the beard as a nose. Make sure to place it directly above the edge where the beard is attached to the cone. This will give your elf a cheerful appearance.

The gnome's pointed cap

Cut the hat: Choose a color for your elf's pointed cap and cut it out of craft felt. The colors can match the recipient's taste or pick up on seasonal themes such as Christmas.
Attach the hat: Glue the hat around the top of the cone so that it is draped slightly over the nose. This placement will make your elf extra cute.
Add the pompom: For the crowning touch, glue a small pompom to the top of the pointed hat as a bobble. This completes the unmistakable look of your Secret Santa gift.
