Take the enclosed template and cut out the motifs with scissors.
Place the beard templates on the white craft felt and outline them with either a fineliner or the disappearing ink pen.
You will need a total of five large and five small beards. Cut them out with sharp scissors.
Next, make the coats and hats.
Place the templates on the different felt sheets. Trace them and cut them out.
Tip: Combine colours tone on tone or make your gnomes colourful. However you like.
Switch on your hot glue gun and wait until it is hot.
Apply some hot glue to the long, straight side of the hat. Glue the other long, straight side over it to create a cone shape.
Then glue the small beards in the centre of the large ones.
Now take a figure cone.
Apply some hot glue to the edge under the ball and place the coat around it.
Then attach the beard to the centre of the ball above the opening of the coat.
Place a pink pompom as a nose exactly where the two parts of the beard meet.
Then put on the hat.
Stretch the opening of the hat slightly with your fingers. Pull it over the ball up to the nose. To prevent it from slipping, you can fix it at the back with a little hot glue.
Finally, glue a white pompom to the tip of the hat.
Repeat these steps for all five gnomes. So that the hats don't all look the same, you can give them a different shape by bending them back and forth or creasing them.
We hope you have fun making them.
