Trace the Templates

Trace the gnome hat and beard templates onto white card paper and carefully cut them out. Paint colourful stripes on the hat using Rangeela Tempera Metallic Colours and allow it to dry completely.

Prepare the Beard

Cut several equal lengths of wool and stick them onto the beard base using Fevicol MR to create the gnome's beard. Fold the coloured hat template into a cone shape and secure the side flap using Fevicol MR. Stick the golden cord inside the top to create a hanging loop.

Assemble the Gnome

Stick the woollen beard beneath the cone hat using Fevicol MR, making sure the wool hangs evenly. Stick the pom pom at the centre where the hat meets the beard using Fevicol MR to complete the gnome's face.

Finish the Decoration

Trim the wool strands if required and allow the craft to dry completely. Your DIY Christmas gnome decoration is now ready to hang.
