Give your home a festive glow - with DIY Christmas elves and a candle arrangement made from zinc plant pots. The enchanting Christmas gnomes and the atmospheric candle arrangement are matched in colour and are arranged together as a festive Christmas decoration.
Find out here how you can easily make the arrangement and the two gnomes.
How to make gnomes
To make the hats, lay the craft felt with the long side facing down. Fold it up and glue the narrow sides together with hot glue. Tie one end together with satin ribbon. Fold the other end over once and place on the bottom of the zinc bucket.

Cut the chenille wire for the "elk gnome", bend it into antlers and glue the ends into the "hat brim" of a hat. Print out the template for the beard, cut it out, transfer it to the back of the plush and cut it out. Glue the beard and the pompoms to the buckets using hot glue.

For the legs, cut four long pieces from the knitted tube (leg length according to personal taste). Glue a wooden foot to one end of each knitted tube leg and attach the other end to the inside of the bucket.

Arrangement
Cut the flower arrangement foam to size with the cutter knife and fill a zinc bucket with it. Cover with Iceland moss. Double the wire from the chain of lights and tie it around the vine wreath. Place the wreaths on the bucket and fix with a little hot glue if necessary. Glue the battery compartment of the chain of lights to the back of the bucket. Plug the candle first onto the candle holder, then into the centre of the Iceland moss. Decorate with cinnamon sticks, orange slices and the scatter decorations.
