Scandinavian Tomte Christmas Elf Ornament Tutorial
Have you ever heard of a Scandinavian tomte? It’s kind of like a cross between a brownie and Santa Claus, and is a popular motif in Sweden, Norway and Denmark around the holidays.
Materials for Making Swedish Tomte Christmas Ornaments:
Wooden beads
Wool roving
Fabric (felt, flannel, or whatever type you prefer)
Sculpey or Fimo clay
Paint (optional)
First, glue a round (head) bead onto a larger oblong (body) bead. You can find these beads at my local craft store. Paint the bodies with acrylic craft paint if you want to. Cut a triangle of fabric for the hat. The base of the triangle should be slightly longer than the circumference of the head bead. Pull off a short piece of wool roving, and glue to the head bead. Use a low temperature hot glue gun. This is especially important for this craft, because in order to get the wool roving to stick, you kind of need to press down on the hot glue and really smush all the fibers into it, so all the hairs get caught in the cooling glue.
