Torge and Swen are two cute little gnomes looking for a new home. With the help of this guide they can be easily reworked. The creative idea is also ideal for the Crafting with children.

Do handicrafts in the middle of the nose

To do handicrafts you first need the Pompon maker set. This set contains four arches in four different sizes: Large Ø 9 cm, medium Ø 5.5 cm, small Ø 4.5 cm and mini Ø 3 cm. For the nasal gnomes the pompon stencils Medium to Mini were used.

Torge, the Fir

For Torge, the Fir are Pompoms from founder wool in different sizes quake needed: seven middle Pompoms, six small Pompoms and five mini-Pompoms. The tinkering of this Pompoms is described in detail in the product manual of the Pompon maker set. We have also summarized the instructions for you in the next paragraph.

Making a pompon fir tree
To create the individual Pompoms take two equally sized Pompon maker-Pairs. These are each wrapped with wool up to the height of the webs and then put together. Now cut along the outside of the plastic discs and wrap a wool thread between the cut open wool, tie it tightly with the thread
Afterwards the individual parts of the pompon maker can be removed. If necessary, correct the shape of the resulting Pompoms with your scissors - and the first pompon is ready!

The other 17 Pompoms in the different sizes are manufactured according to the same principle.
Once that's done, you can start gluing Torge together. Use a hot glue gun and glue together the 7 largest Pompoms . One pompom forms the middle, the other six you stick in a circle around it. The next smaller pompom size looks similar. One pompon of the middle size is fixed in the centre, the other five you stick around it in such a way that a circle is created. Now you have to glue four of the small Pompoms in a rectangle. Now you have a small pompom left, which forms Torges tip. Now glue the pompon layers on top of each other according to their size - now you should see a nice, juicy green fir tree in front of you.

Make a hat
For Torges cap you first make a white and a red pompom in the size mini. Then cut a piece of wire about 20 cm long and attach it to the white mini pompon by sticking it on or sticking it on. Now transfer the design template of Torges cap on the red Felt and cut it out. Put the Felt around the wire like a pointed cap and glue the ends together so that the tip ends exactly in the white mini pompom. You can now carefully put the pointed cap into the uppermost pompom of the fir tree and fix it.
You will get a particularly beautiful finish to the pointed cap if you turn the lowest centimetres inwards. Now place the red nose with a small piece of wire at its place directly under the pointed cap.

Finish
What's missing now is the white noise beard. For this you take some cotton wool, pluck it into shape and put it - if necessary use a few drops of hot glue - around Torge's red nose under the cap. Now your cute nose gnome Torge is ready!


Snowman Swen

For Swen the Snowman you proceed very similarly. For his body you need two Pompoms in large and medium. These are simply glued together as soon as they are ready.

The cap, just like Torge's, has a white mini pompom at the end. Now attach it to a previously cut piece of wire about 22 cm long. Now cut out red Felt for Swens cap using the template. Repeat the steps exactly as you did for Torges pointed cap. Then glue on the enclosed cotton pompons: the red one as Swens nose and two black cotton pompons as buttons.

Ready are Swen and Torge, your cute nose pompons for the Christmas season!
