Materials

  • Colored cardstock
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • Red baker's twine
  • Tape
  • Markers optional
  • Laminator optional
  • Laminating sheets optional
  • Elf ornament template

Instructions

  • Download the elf ornament template, print, and cut out the pieces you want to use.
  • Begin by gluing Buddy's hair to the top of this head.
  • Cut out small ovals for his eyebrows or use a matching colored marker to draw them on right beneath his hair.
  • If you're using the face template without eyes, glue them on just below the eyebrows.
  • Place his nose below his eyes and glue in place. Next, glue the cheeks below both eyes. You can also skip this step and just draw them on instead.
  • Create his mouth by gluing the red tongue to the bottom of the mouth. Use scissors to trim off the excess paper, then glue below the nose.
  • Make his elf hat by gluing the yellow band to the middle of the hat. Trim off the excess paper. Glue the red feather to the side of the hat.
  • Take the completed hat and glue it to the top of his hair.
  • Glue Buddy's collar behind his head, on the bottom.
  • If you're going to laminate your ornament, do it now. We recommend laminating if you want to reuse this ornament every year (or preserve it!). Cut out around the laminated edges.
  • Take a piece of red baker's twine a tie it into a loop. Flip the ornament over and tape it to the top, back of his head.
