These cute glowing gnomes create a cosy atmosphere at winter time and are an eye-catcher. Individually or, as in our example, in combination with a decorated branch, the gnomes are very easy to make.

This is how you make the elves:
First, the acrylic drops are dabbed with frost effect paint from the inside. This creates a beautiful effect.

Use an awl to poke a hole in the tip of the Christmas hat. Pull the wire of the fairy lights through this hole and place them in the acrylic drops. Put the acrylic drops together.

Cut out a beard of any size from the plush. Stick the hat, the beard and the nose to the acrylic drop with craft glue. Leave to dry.

Glue the battery compartments of the fairy lights (from one side) to the branch with hot glue.

Now you can decorate the branch according to your wishes. For example, use fir, oranges, cinnamon sticks and ribbon and arrange them on the branch.
