christmas craft #14

merry elves by mary englebreit

i found this great blog and they put out a craft online zine of sorts. it's awesome and has tons of christmas crafts for people of all kinds. i decided i needed some elf decor and loved these.
now i won't lie to you and say that these were simple but if you have some patience and keep going you can get some done. i did five and then called it quits but i love them!

what you'll need:
mod podge
empty toilet paper rolls
the template for the elves (page 22 of the christmas issue)
felt
pipe cleaners
scissors
fabric glue



cut everything out


spread mod podge all over your toilet paper roll


roll on the elf


here he is!


glue the hat template to the felt. i used a dark gray but you could use whatever color you like!


glue the sides of the hat together with fabric glue


glue the pipe cleaner on the edge. i used fabric glue here to because it held better than the mod podge.


add his arms and a little ball to the top of his hat and place them all around your house!
