The Process: From Inspiration to Creation

Crafting Stories, One Elf at a Time

Everyday Moments, Extraordinary Elfs

Inspiration for Klarborg elfs often comes from the simple, everyday moments that make life special. Etly finds ideas in the world around her – whether it’s a child’s playful smile, a family gathering, or a heartfelt letter from a fan. These real-life inspirations are what give each elf its unique character and charm.

Bringing Ideas to Life

Every Klarborg elf begins as a sketch. Etly translates her inspirations onto paper, carefully designing each character with its own personality. This sketching process is where the magic begins, turning ideas into tangible designs that will soon come to life as beloved figurines.

Molding Magic: The Sculpting Process

After sketching, the next step is sculpting. Etly meticulously shapes each elf by hand, bringing the character’s features and personality to life in clay. This process is where the elf truly begins to take form, with every detail carefully crafted to reflect its story.

Painting with Heart

The final touch is the painting process, where each elf is hand-painted with love and precision. The colors, expressions, and tiny details are what make each Klarborg elf unique. Etly believes that this step is crucial, as it breathes life into the figurine, making it ready to find its place in someone’s home.
