Happy Thursday AI Friends!
Today I have a fun gift bag for you featuring the new #6119 - Elf Puppet set. These puppet sets are so fun to make and so dang adorable! I did my usual and stretched his legs to make him dance.
I made one of these boxes last year decorated with a gnome. You can find the dimensions and instructions on how to make the box here.
To stretch the Elf legs: partial cut the bottom of the legs with the die and then hand cut an additional 1/2" or so for the top of the legs. Punch a hole towards the top for a foam dot to fit. Place the foam dot on the back of the shirt and slip the legs over the foam dot. Die cut an extra shirt out of cardstock and adhere that to the other sticky side of the foam dot (the legs should be in between the shirts). The legs will swing back and forth.
I die cut all of the other pattern pieces out of #5853 - Christmas Magic PP. For the face of the Elf, I die cut it from a copic friendly paper and colored it with copic markers listed below. I stamped the eyes from a set in my stash and I drew the nose and mouth.
I finished decorating the box with bells and baker's twine and closed it with a red clothes pin.
That's it for me today. Hope you find yourself creating some of these boxes and filling with little treats for Christmas.
Have a wonderful day and keep creating!
Copics used: R20, E11, E01, E000
