Material list

In this small miniature scene, our little lodgers harvest fresh vegetables or feed the animals. On the farm with gnome door is always something going on. Especially children will certainly find lots of exciting things to discover here. But also as a pure decoration scene, the farm is a real eye-catcher.

Craft fresh vegetables
First, use the modeling clay to model cabbages, cabbage leaves, tomatoes, whole and half carrots. With the carrots and tomatoes, you can directly work with some green crepe paper to make the whole thing even more realistic.

Allow the finished modeled vegetable to dry thoroughly for a good 24 hours. Depending on the thickness of the object, the drying time may be longer.

Finally, paint everything with our craft paints.
Prepare plant pots and vegetable beds
Fill all the "beds" and terracotta pots with the some texture paste. For deeper pots, you can first fill them with small paper balls or something similar, then coat them with paste on the surface so that there is a smooth surface.

As long as the structure paste is still wet, you can also work into the terracotta pots small "herbs" of crepe paper, small signs, a tomato stick, as well as a garland of leaves. The tomato stick is thereby bent from a plug wire. Once the texture paste dries, everything will be well fixed. Paint the texture paste in a realistic gray-brown. The uneven surface and the gray-brown color create a great earth look.
Fill the flower bed with life
Arrange and glue the half carrots in one bed so that it looks like they are just peeking out of the ground. In the second bed, glue the cabbages. Now glue the tomatoes to the corresponding plant with some hot glue.

A special decorative highlight is the vertical herb garden. You can easily recreate this by gluing the small terracotta pots to the upright pallet with a little hot glue.
Now tinker with wood
Now make a rabbit hutch from the wooden sticks and the window. This you can fill with two pompom rabbits, cabbage leaves, carrots and excelsior.

After that, bend small enclosures from the fence, decorate them with excelsior and decorate them. Then put the sheep and pigs inside.

Finally, put everything together with the Secret Santa door to create a beautiful scene, and your little farm with Secret Santa door is ready.
