ELF ON THE SHELF Cupcake Liner Craft

Elf on the Shelf has been a fun popular Christmas tradition over the past few years, and since my kids love to craft, I thought this fun Elf on the Shelf craft would be a cute ‘gift’ to leave for Elfie on one of his visits. Check it out!

What you’ll need:

white cupcake liners

1 white 2” x 4” white rectangle with a zigzag bottom for a collar.
1 brown rectangle about 1” x the length of the top of the cupcake liner and cut the bottom with a zigzag bottom like hair.

4. Glue the brown hair to the top of the cupcake liner.

5. Fold the top of the red triangle to the side and glue to the top of the hair.
