This is our second year with the infamous elf on the shelf, ours is named Honey-Cotton. Last year I noticed it was hard to put here in certain positions. So this is me making her bendable and grippy. . . .with little feet too.
Supplies:
Red & White Thread
Pliers
Wire Cutter
16 Gauge wire(I had leftover floral wire)
Velcro
Optional: Hot Glue
Directions:
Lets start with the hands, rip seams at the end of hands. Stick wire in and cut leaving room to make a circle. Sew hands closed.
For legs I did something different, cut the seam near butt. Took one piece of floral wire bent in horse shoe shape and pushed threw legs. Cut wire ends enough to make a circle. Sew butt closed.
Next to make feet. I pinned right above circle, sewed across then sewed close in a rectangle shape. She has feet now.
For velcro, measured the size of her hands and sewed on. Your welcome to hot glue as well. And your elf is done.
Coming Soon Wardrobe Ideas For our elf, jumpers, dresses, shoes and mittens. Look out for my post.
