The furniture can be made from narrow and wide wooden sticks to suit your personal taste. The walls and floors are also made from the wooden spatulas.

For the decorations such as the garland and the wreaths, you can string different sized craft beads and decorate them on your elves' house. Cushions and Christmas socks are made from felting.

Are you happy with your decorations and furniture? Then you can now put everything together and light it up with a chain of lights. A fantastic gnome house is ready. A great decoration for the winter season!
