Elves

Instructions for assembly:

Part 1: Open packet A

• Glue head (white ball) onto body (painted ball.)
• Glue face onto head, leaving a little room under the chin for the beard.
• Bend beard into a ‘U’ shape, and glue around the edges of the face.

 Part 2: Open packet B

• Select a piece of bump chenille to use as the arms. Bend it into a ‘U’ shape, and attach its center to the back of the neck with a dot of glue.
• Select a piece of bump chenille to use for the legs. Bend it into a ‘U’ shape, and glue the bent portion to the underside of the body.
• Attach shoes to the ends of the legs, and bend at the ankle.
• Glue a pine cone to one of the round chipboard bases, off to one side.
• Adjust the legs to a sitting position, and glue the rear end of the elf to edge of the pine cone.

 Part 3: Open Packet C

• Cut out the hat shape from the flocked paper rectangle. If you desire a hanging loop, use scissors to poke a tiny hole in the center of the hat shape and insert a small loop of skinny pipe cleaner, securing it with glue.
• Bend the hat paper into a cone shape, and seal the seam with glue.
• Make a ring out of white pipe cleaner that fits snugly around the elf’s head and forehead like a halo, and attach it with glue.
• Add glue to the inner rim of the hat, position the hanging loop at the front, and press onto the elf’s head over the pipe cleaner ring.

Finish: 

• Give the elf one of the miniature trinkets to hold, and glue it in place.
• Repeat these steps to make the other two elves.
