Take the completed elf head and glue it on a piece of colored paper (the same paper you're using for the background). Cut it out, leaving a small outline around the head.

Gather your elf writing prompt and piece of colored paper and glue the prompt in the middle of the paper and about .5" from the bottom.

Next, take the outlined elf head and glue it to the top of the writing prompt.

Create the elf's arms by gluing the mittens to the arms. Then glue the arms to the main piece of paper, one on either side of the elf's head. Cut off any excess paper that hangs off the sides.
