Instructions
Step #1:
Paint a stripe of green along one edge of your paper roll - this will be our elves hat. On the opposite edge paint his jacket, we added a V-neck as our elf likes that style! The lines do not have to be perfect, as we will be adding some fluff to them.
Allow this to dry.
Step #2:
Get your peach paint (if you have no peach paint, like us, just mix together some pink and white). Paint the area in between the green - this will be our elf face.
Again, allow everything to dry.
Step #3:
While the roll is drying, take a piece of green construction paper and cut out a pair of shoes. Measure against the paper roll to make sure the back side of the shoes will fit over the bottom hole of the paper roll.
Step #4:
Once the paper roll is all dry, stretch out some cotton balls and glue them along all the edges of your hat and suit.
Step #5:
Next our elf craft needs a face! Add some google eyes and a pom pom for a nose.
Step #6
Glue a pom pom to each of the points of our elf's shoes. Glue the feet to the bottom end of your paper roll.
Step #7
Pick out the treats and goodies you wish to fill you elf up with - be sure they are wrapped treats so that the elf can be used as a decoration afterwards.
Add them into the paper roll now.
Step #8
Take a piece of peach construction paper and cut out two elf ears - make sure that have the signature elf point!
Glue these onto each side of your elf's head.
(we have also added a few finishing touches by drawing on a mouth and some detail in the ears)
Step #9:
Fold down the top of the paper roll. Make sure the folds are on each side (where the ears are) so that the hat is pointed at the front.
