Instructions in 9 steps Gnomes cast in Raysin and wooden gnomes are attached here firmly and decoratively to the bamboo ring and then adorned with decorative fir trees.

Besides the articles listed below, you also need: Scissors, hot-melt glue, paintbrush, mixing vessel, poss. sandpaper

And this is how it works:

Step 1

Fill first the large gnome (with a hole in the middle), then the small one without hole with a mixture of 30 g of Raysin and 8.5 g of water (follow the instructions on the packaging).

Step 2

After 1 hour drying, carefully demould them. But they still need to be left to dry for another day or two. If necessary, you can sand their edges from the rear side using sandpaper.

Step 3

Remove the decorative fir trees from their black wooden base, then insert each one into the raw wood ball and secure them in place with hot-melt glue.

Step 4

Fix in place the macramé yarn onto the bamboo ring with a drop of hot-melt glue at about 3 cm from the suspension cord and wind it evenly along the ring over a length of about 3 cm. Cut off the exceeding yarn and fix its end with hot-melt glue. Do the same on the other side.

Step 5

Then paint the Raysin and wooden gnomes with the matching paints.

Step 6

Decorate the lower part of the ring with Icelandic moss and secure it in place with hot-melt glue.

Step 7

Hang firmly the painted Raysin gnome in the middle of the upper part of the ring using yarn. Adjust the suspension hook as desired. Glue the little painted Raysin gnome to the part of the ring adorned with Icelandic moss using hot-melt glue.

Step 8

Glue firmly the three wooden gnomes to the lower part of the ring.

Step 9

Next, add the decorative fir trees. Attach two fir trees to the ring using macramé yarn (fix them with hot-melt glue) and glue the third one askew onto the large painted gnome.
