The ransom note will add an element of mystery and excitement, prompting them to figure out how to satisfy the tree’s unusual demand. their family Elf is already in the mouth of the monster but are the other elves to feed the tree?

The next day, imagine the joy and laughter as your kids discover that their efforts have been rewarded with a delightful display of “presents” beneath the tree.

The Elf on the Shelf has become a popular holiday tradition in many households. Each year, families come up with new and creative ways to display their elves and make the holiday season more exciting for their children. One of the latest trends in ideas for holiday elves are incorporating bows into the mix.

Bows can add a fun and festive touch to your elf antic displays. From using bows as accessories for your holiday visitor to creating entire scenes using bows, there are endless possibilities for incorporating these colorful decorations. Parents can use bows to create a winter winter wonderland scene, a rock climbing wall, or even a bow factory where the elves are hard at work.

Whether you’re a seasoned elf mover pro or just starting out, adding bows to your displays can take your holiday traditions to the next level. With so many ideas and options available, parents can get creative and have fun while making lasting memories for their children.

A Bow-tiful Adventure

Setting the Scene

When it comes to Christmas Elf ideas, bows are a perfect addition to any elf’s wardrobe. But where should the elf be placed? Here are some ideas:

  • Place the visitor on a Christmas tree branch, surrounded by bows of different colors and sizes. (Tried and True)
  • Have the little guy sitting on a gift box, surrounded by bows and wrapping paper.
  • Place The Elf on a Shelf, surrounded by a bow-tiful wreath and other festive decorations.
  • Have the the holiday visitor sitting on a chair, surrounded by your child’s bows and ribbons.

Creating the Bow-tiful Outfit

Once you have the perfect scene, it’s time to dress up your friend in a bow-tiful outfit. Here are some ideas:

  • Use a ribbon to create a bow tie for your Noth Pole friend. Simply tie the ribbon around their waist and adjust the size to fit.
  • Create a bow headband for your red guy by gluing a small bow to a plain headband. Your Scout Elf will look adorable with this accessory.
  • Create a bow skirt for your Christmas Elf by using a piece of tulle or ribbon. Simply tie the tulle or ribbon around the Noth Pole friend’s waist and fluff it out to create a full skirt. (DIY Inspired)

With these ideas, your elf will be ready for a bow-tiful adventure this holiday season.

Bows as Props

One of the best ways to keep the Christmas tradition alive is by coming up with creative ideas for your elf’s daily antics. One way to do this is by incorporating bows as props into your elf’s mischief. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

Rock Climbing Bow Wall

Your Noth Pole friend can show off their adventurous side by scaling a wall made entirely of bows! Simply attach bows of varying sizes and colors to a wall using tape or adhesive strips. Your family elf can then use the bows as hand and footholds to climb up the wall. It’s a fun and festive way to add some excitement to your elf’s daily routine.

Bow-tie Shenanigans

Why wear a boring old tie when you can wear a bow-tie?  The Elf on the Shelf can show off their fashion sense by sporting a bow-tie made from a festive holiday bow. Simply use velcro, ribbon, and fabric glue. Your North Pole visitor can then wear the DIY bow-tie with pride and maybe even start a new fashion trend like The Celebration Shoppe.

In addition to the DIY bow tie for Santa’s helper, you can print your own bow ties in our Photo Booth Props Printables. In addition to festive Christmas ties for elves, there are cute elf-sized props including lips, a beard, a snowman, a penguin, Christmas sayings, and more.

Rainbow of Bows

Why settle for one color when you can have them all? Santa’s helper can create a rainbow of bows by lining up bows of different colors in a row. It’s a simple yet colorful way to add some pizzazz to your little guy’s daily routine.

Toilet Bow

Yes, you read that right. Your little friend can create stilly bathroom antics and make a toilet bow by attaching bows to the toilet seat and bathroom mirror. It’s a silly and unexpected way to add some humor to your daily antics. Just make sure to remove the bow before anyone uses the toilet!

Incorporating bows as props into your holiday mischief is a fun and festive way to keep the tradition alive. These ideas are just the beginning – let your imagination run wild and see what other creative ideas you can come up with!

Bow Crafting with Elf on the Shelf

Bow-making Workshop

The Elf on the Shelf loves to craft bows, and what better way to get in the holiday spirit than by creating your own bows for your visitor to wear? To get started, gather supplies such as ribbon, scissors, glue, and any other embellishments you want to add. One evening, you can have your North Pole friend deliver all the supplies and write a note “let’s make bows!”

One easy way to make a bow is to cut a length of ribbon and fold it into loops, securing each loop with a twist tie or wire. Then, tie a smaller piece of ribbon around the center of the loops to create the bow shape. The Scout Elf can wear the bow as a hair accessory or use it to decorate a gift or tree.

For more advanced bow-making techniques, check out online tutorials or visit a craft store for inspiration. The Elf on the Shelf will love showing off their new handmade bows! Once your handmade bows are done, the next day, cover bows all over all over your elf doll.

Decorating with Bows

Once you’ve made some bows, it’s time to decorate with them! The Elf on the Shelf can use wrapping paper bows or handmade bows to add a festive touch to any room.

You can use peppermint patterned washi tape and make your own Christmas tree on the wall. Instead of having a star on top of the tree and ornaments adorned throughout, add really cute bows like The Lumistella company.

Try tying bows around doorknobs, chair backs, or even the Scout Elf’s arms and legs. For an extra special touch, use glittery or patterned ribbon to make the bows stand out spelling fun words like the name. Alternatively, you can use bows to write a number as you countdown the days until Santa comes.

Don’t forget to take a photo of the little guy’s handiwork and share it with friends and family on social media like Scout Elves did.

Christmas Elf Wrapped in a Bow

For a fun and silly idea for elves, wrap the little guy up in a giant bow! To do this, first, make a large bow using a long piece of ribbon.

Then, carefully wrap the North Pole visitor in the ribbon, making sure to leave their face and arms free. The Christmas elf will look like a present waiting to be unwrapped, it is a fun way for The Elf on the Shelf to arrive.

If you have a pair of elves, try The Elf on the Shelf ideas for two elves – simply roll one doll up in ribbon.  If the Chrismtas visitor is supper tied up, leave a pair of kids’ scissors nearby so he/she can escape when they’re ready to get back to their mischief-making.

Conclusion

Well, that’s a wrap! In this article, we’ve explored some of the most creative ideas for Christmas elves using bows. From bow-ties to bow-wreaths, these ideas are sure to make your holiday friend stand out and bring joy to your household during the holiday season.

Remember, the key to a successful The Elf on the Shelf display is to keep it fun and engaging. Use your imagination and don’t be afraid to get a little silly! Whether you’re a seasoned Scout Elf pro or a first-timer, these ideas are a great way to keep the holiday spirit alive and well.

So go ahead, grab some bows, and get creative! Your holiday friend is sure to thank you for it. Happy holidays!

Save vs Splurge: The Anthropologie Woven Clutch

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

by Filed Under: Amazon, Online Shopping

published date: November 06, 2023
modified datt: November 06,2023

If you’re a frugal fashion enthusiast like me, you probably understand the thrill of discovering the perfect accessory that complements your style. On a recent shopping excursion, I found myself in Anthropologie, surprised to find their Woven Clutch, priced at a not-so-budget-friendly $80. It was a gorgeous leather clutch, available in five stunning colors. However, my thrifty side led me to a surprising revelation – I already had a strikingly similar woven purse on me, but for only $30 from Amazon. Today, I’m excited to share this story with you and reveal how you can get your hands on the affordable look-a-like that looks nearly identical to the Anthropologie Woven Clutch.

The Discovery:

On a very special weekend, four of my five kids were out of town with my husband. My one remaining child and I decided to create a girls weekend and this included hitting Georgetown and going shopping – a mother and daughter’s dream. Of course, for my purse that day I grabbed a sensible hobo bag for walking downtown DC.

As I entered Anthropologie, my eyes were immediately drawn to a display featuring the Woven Clutch. It looked exactly like the bag I was carrying. I had no idea that the bag I purchased off Amazon was a look-a-like bag.

Side by Side: A Surprising Comparison

With both clutches in hand, I decided to put them to the test side by side. I couldn’t believe my eyes; the similarities between the Amazon find and the Anthropologie Woven Clutch were striking. The woven pattern, the size, and even the texture of the leather were remarkably alike. I had unknowingly stumbled upon a budget-friendly gem that would save me a significant amount while keeping me on-trend.

Getting Your Hands on the Affordable Clutch:

Now, you might be wondering how to find this amazing look-a-like. The good news is that it’s easy! You can get your hands on a purse that looks almost exactly like the Anthropologie Woven Clutch for just $30. Here’s how:

  1. Visit Amazon: I picked up this size clutch. However, I do wish I had picked up this size as it is a little bit bigger and only $1 more.
  2. Check Reviews: When shopping, check out the customer reviews and ratings to ensure you’re selecting a quality product. Look for reviews that mention the purse’s quality, size, and design to find the best match. I gave you my review, but you might want to hear from others.
  3. Compare and Contrast: Take your time to compare the purse options available on Amazon to the Anthropologie Woven Clutch. Look for those that closely resemble your preferred color and design. The purse on Amazon comes in 4 to 6 colors (depending on the size. The purse at Anthro comes in five colors.) Decide if you want the same color as the designer store or something that looks different. I picked up the Brown1 color. I have the B-Brown color (large clutch) in my cart to order later because I like the smaller bag so much.
  4. Unique Strap: These leather woven clutches come with a strap. However, I picked up this pink leopard pattern strap. I plan to grab this red and green strap for the winter season.
  5. Place Your Order: Once you’ve found the perfect hobo purse, add it to your cart and complete your purchase. You’ll have a stylish woven clutch that’s practically indistinguishable from the Anthropologie version, and you’ll save a significant amount in the process.


In the world of fashion, it’s not always necessary to splurge to achieve a high-end look. The “save vs. splurge” mentality can lead to exciting discoveries that allow you to express your style while staying within your budget. I never expected to find a purse that looked almost identical to the Anthropologie Woven Clutch for a fraction of the price. This experience reminded me that there are countless hidden gems out there just waiting to be discovered. In fact, while shopping with my daughter we found items we loved in the store, Then we jumped on Amazon and found something almost identical online.

So, the next time you’re out shopping, keep an open mind and be on the lookout for those items you love and then search online for budget-friendly finds that might just surprise you!

Fleece Blanket Sale – My Go To Holiday Teacher Gift (every year!)

Want to be clued into a little holiday secret? Each year, my go-to Christmas gift is a simple yet heartwarming one. I create a Fleece Navidad gift tag and pair it with a cozy Christmas blanket, which I score during the exciting fleece blanket sales that pop up around Black Friday. In this blog post, I’m thrilled to share these fantastic Christmas throw deals, perfect for gifting to teachers, neighbors, coaches, and friends. With the holiday season just around the corner, there’s no better time to start shopping!

Let’s dive into this winning deal that will help you cross off your gift list for teachers, neighbors, coworkers, friends, the hostess, and many more, all without breaking the bank. Stock up on these amazing finds, and you can easily provide thoughtful gifts for up to seven people, all for under $10 each.

Step one is to grab the Fleece Navidad Gift Tag, available as a convenient digital download. Once you have that, let’s embark on a quest to find the best deals on Fleece Throws for this holiday season.

Fleece Navidad Gift Tag Printable

Christmas Fleece Blanket Sales

Now, let’s explore the various places where you can discover holiday fleece blankets at fantastic prices. These fleece throws make for perfect gifts for teachers, coaches, neighbors, friends, and family. Here are some online stores worth checking out for discounted fleece blankets:

Kohls

Let’s kick things off with Kohl’s, a long-standing champion of Christmas fleece throw sales. The Big One® Oversized Supersoft Plush Throws they offer are incredibly soft and generously sized. During the holiday season, Kohl’s often provides coupon codes and cashback offers, making it an ideal place to shop. I’ve personally chosen this blanket multiple times, particularly because it usually offers the best deal after applying cashback offers.

This year, there are 32 different patterns to choose from. The current Kohl’s offer presents these at $8.49, marked down from $19.99. Use code YOUGET15 at checkout (code now through 11/9/23), and you can even get $10 cash back when you spend $50 (though this offer may change over time).

You can also check out the UGG Blanket they have on sale $19.99 from $55.00.

Review: I have ordered Old Navy, JCPenney, and Kohl’s. Kohl’s is definitely my favorite.

Old Navy

A couple of years ago I opted for Old Navy blankets, which are a decent alternative, albeit a bit thinner compared to Kohl’s. They offer the Patterned Microfleece Blanket for the Family in six different patterns.

As of now, Old Navy has them listed for $7, down from $12. What’s amusing is how they photograph these blankets, isn’t it?

Why does it crack me up so much how they photograph these blankets?

JCPenney

Last year, I decided to explore North Pole Trading Co. Holiday Velvet Plush Throw blankets at JCPenney. I was aiming to fill my cart for free shipping, and this sale turned out to be a pretty good bargain.

Currently, these cozy throws are on sale for just $8.99, down from their original price of $30. There are eight different patterns available, but they’re selling out fast, so make sure to use code GOTGIFTS at checkout.

More Holiday Fleece Blanket Deals

If you’re on the lookout for additional places to find incredible fleece blanket deals, consider these options, keeping an eye out for price fluctuations:

And, of course, we’d love to hear from you! Share in the comments where you’ve discovered the best Christmas Fleece Blanket sale and let us in on your holiday throw ideas. Happy gifting!

cute printable cornhole board for elf

Getting Started:

To create your miniature Cornhole Boards, you’ll need the following materials:

  1. The printable Cornhole Board template (download here)
  2. Mini pom-poms or mini marshmallows or cotton balls
  3. A color printer
  4. Cardstock paper or printer paper (this is the best cardstock which is perfect for your printables)
  5. Scissors
  6. Glue or Tape
  7. An Elf Doll

how to make a diy cornhole board out of paper

Step 1: Download and Print Your Cornhole Boards

Start by downloading the Elf Cornhole Board template from the provided link. Make sure to use a color printer for the best results. The boards will fold best with cardstock which will provide them with some sturdiness, though it’s not necessary. Colors will vary based on different printers. Once printed, carefully cut out both the red and green boards.

Step 2: Assemble Your Cornhole Boards

Once but, begin to fold the boards into shape. Use glue or tape to hold the folded ends. If you did not use cardstock, see if you can add extra tape to make them strong. This step will ensure that your cornhole boards can withstand the excitement of the game.

Step 3: Set Up the Game

Place the two cornhole boards in a suitable playing area. Make sure to position them at a reasonable distance apart for the elf-sized game. You can use a table, a countertop, or any other flat surface.

Step 4: Gather Your Mini Pom-Poms, Cotton Balls, or Mini Marshmallows

Prepare your mini pom-poms or mini marshmallows – these will serve as your “snowballs” for the game. Place them in a small bowl or container near the cornhole boards for easy access.

How to Play:

Now that everything is set up, it’s time to start the Snowball Toss game with your North Pole friend.

  1. Each player (not including your mischievous elf – do not touch!) takes turns tossing mini pom-poms or mini marshmallows onto the cornhole boards.
  2. The objective is to land the “snowballs” onto the boards, aiming for the holes. Each hole is worth a certain number of points.
  3. Keep track of the points for each successful toss. You can create a scoring system or use the following as a guideline:
    • Landing a “snowball” on the board: 1 point

The holiday season is a time for creating cherished memories and traditions with loved ones. One Christmas tradition that has captured the hearts of families around the world is The Elf on the Shelf. This mischievous little Scout Elf comes alive at night, embarking on exciting adventures and bringing joy to children each morning. While the traditional holiday visitor setup is fun, why not take it up a notch this year by incorporating a construction truck into your The Elf on the Shelf adventures?

How can I stage The Elf On The Shelf in construction sites?

Let’s explore creative and playful ideas to blend the magic of the holiday season with the excitement of construction-themed fun.

The Arrival

To kick off the holiday season, have your Scout Elf arrive in style. Place the little guy inside a tiny construction truck, perhaps with a mini hard hat and safety vest, parked somewhere prominent in your home. A note could explain that the North Pole visitor is here to help build holiday magic.

Scout Elf Construction Site

Transform your living room into a Christmas “Construction Site.” Gather building blocks, miniature construction cones, caution tape, and tiny toy tools. Your Scout Elf can be found overseeing the construction site, perhaps with a clipboard, ready to build holiday cheer. You can also take Scout Elf outside in a dump truck for a super hard place to find the little guy. For a fun idea, make sure you have a Safety Zone sign.

Candy Cane Crane

Build a small crane using craft supplies like popsicle sticks, string, and a candy cane. Your Scout Elf can be found operating the crane, using it to move candy canes or other treats around. This fun setup combines construction play with sweet surprises.

Gingerbread House Construction

Invite your Scout Elf to participate in a gingerbread house construction project. Set up a gingerbread house kit and have your visitor don a tiny apron and chef’s hat. They can be seen “directing” the construction, adding a humorous twist to a classic holiday activity.

Snow Plow Scout Elf

If you have some fake snow on hand, create a snowy scene with toy cars and buildings. Your North Pole Visitor can be placed in a toy snow plow, helping to clear the “streets” after a snowy night. You can also use a bulldozer to move ornaments along the floor. Alternatively, get construction paper, toilet paper, and scissors for a fun snowflake construction scene. It’s a great way to blend the construction theme with winter fun.

Building a Toy Train Track

Set up a mini construction site where your Scout Elf is “building” a train track for toy trains to travel on. Use wooden blocks or train track pieces, and your little red friend can be found arranging them strategically. It’s a delightful way to combine construction and locomotion.

Scout Elf Safety Check

Create a miniature safety inspection LEGO scene with tiny construction signs, cones, and safety barriers. Your Noth Pole Elf can be seen inspecting a lineup of holiday toys or a LEGO build, ensuring they are all up to code for the festive season. A Scout Elf mechanic can also repair a truck using small tools.

Scout Elf Workshop

Turn your The Elf on the Shelf into the head foreman of the holiday workshop, supervising the assembly of toys and wrapping of gifts. Miniature toy tools and wrapping paper can be used to complete the scene. The family visitor can even leave a note explaining the important role they play in making the holidays special.

Construction The Elf on the Shelf Idea

Adding a construction truck to your The Elf on the Shelf adventures can inject a new level of excitement and creativity into your holiday traditions. It’s a fantastic way to blend the joy of the season with the fascination kids have for construction vehicles. As your Scout Elf goes about their construction-themed escapades, your children will be filled with wonder and delight, making this holiday season one to remember.

In this construction, The Elf on the Shelf idea, Scout Elf is playing with construction trucks on a cookie sheet that is covered in Rice Krispies cereal. The Scout Elf is using a bulldozer toy to scoop up the cereal, which is scattered around the trucks. We added a few construction LEGO pieces and our scene is complete.

Supplies

Instructions

This scene is really easy to set up.

  1. Gather your construction toys and Scout Elf doll.
  2. Get a baking sheet in the kitchen and lay down Rice Krispies cereal or another cereal for your Scout Elf construction theme.
  3. If you have a Construction Costume, cut out the materials and dress your little guy.
  4. Stage your Scout Elf on the construction trucks.

Optional: Bring Construction Party Games to your child with this fun idea. You can paly together or with friends.

The entire scene combines the magic of the holiday season with the imaginative playfulness of childhood. It’s a delightful and creative way to blend the concept of The Elf on the Shelf with a construction theme, sparking joy and wonder in young construction truck lovers.

Happy holidays, and happy constructing!
