What do gnomes actually do when spring approaches? Quite simple - they dress up in spring-fresh colours and spend the longer days as spring gnomes. And they prefer to do this in a shady spot surrounded by flowers. Craft 5 colourful spring gnomes with our VBS craft set and decorate them in plant pots, flowery arrangements and more. Or give someone a treat with this cute spring messenger.

In addition to the materials included in the set, all you need are fabric scissors, hot glue, paints (e.g. the VBS craft paint set "Pastel Poetry") and a paintbrush.

1. Paint the terracotta pots in spring colours as you like. There are no limits to your imagination: add stripes, dots or (as in our example) small flowers after the base colour has dried. These were simply dabbed on with the back of the brush handle. You can also use a bamboo skewer or similar.

2. Now transfer the motifs onto the felt. A so-called "line-ex" pen is very suitable for this, as its colour disappears after a while - this way you get a clean result. Then cut out all the pieces with fabric scissors.

3. Glue the smaller beard part onto the larger beard part with a little hot glue and glue the complete beard onto the front of the terracotta pot.

4. For the hat, first apply a thin strip of hot glue to one of the straight edges and then roll up the felt into a bag. The felt strip is then glued as a brim around the bottom edge of the hat.

5. Now place the finished hat on the terracotta pot, fix it with a little hot glue at the front and back and shape it. Just place the pompom nose - and the happy spring gnome is ready. Have fun making it!
