Next, use a permeant marker to draw a funny bad face on the milk. You can copy ours. We were thinking ugly jack-o-lantern type look.

Insert your milk on the refrigerator shelf. Wrap fabric around the galloon jug to look like clothing. Then insert a cap for a milk jug hat.

Add your note.

Next tie up your Elf on the Shelf doll(s) to look like the milk did something naughty to Elf on the Shelf.

He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD.

Want to make a huge impact on your borning Elf on the Shelf ideas. Well this cute Ballon Elf idea isn’t a snore. Your kids will love the Christmas decorations elf brings when this adorable Christmas balloon garland arrives by none other than their very own Scout elf.

This is going to be a ton of fun!

Balloon Elf on the Shelf Garland

Make a big impact with a little bit of effort. This easy balloon garland uses the color scheme red and green for Christmas. However, you can make this fun idea Hanukkah, birthday parties, a baby shower celebration, or plenty of other fun occasion. It definitely add a wow factor!

Balloon Garland Supplies

• The Elf on the Shelf Doll
• Green Tinsel Garland (we used this)
• Green SOLO Plastic Cups (or Red SOLO Cups will work too)
• 10-12 inch Green & Red Latex Balloons
• Optional: Balloon Pump (we love this one on Amazon and used it in our stuffed Elf on the Shelf in a balloon idea.)
• Optional: Tying Tool
• Optional: Ultra Low Temperature Glue Gun (like this one)
• Optional, Fishing Line or twine.

How to make balloon garland

These step-by-step instructions for how to make Balloon garland can easily be summarized with the word tape. Repeat after me. Tape is your friend.

We used an 18 foot green tinsel garland. You can grab something larger if you want a longer Christmas garland.

Start by blowing up your round balloons and tying off the end of each balloon. For this 18 foot garland, we used 8 (4 red, 4 green) balloons. Multiply as needed.

It will be obvious (you aren’t doing this for professional Christmas decor – let’s call it amazing Dollar Tree Christmas Decor), tape the balloons to your plastic cups. We inserted the knot of the balloon in to the cup and taped around the edges.

Once you’ve made your balloons look like Christmas lights, tape them to the green garland about every two feet.

Then tape your balloon light garland to the ceiling. Did we mention tape was the keyword in this christmas balloon garland tutorial?

Make sure your tape is secure on the ceiling and gently add your Scout Elf.

Viola – with only a few accessories, you’ve made your own balloon garland kit.

How fun was this Elf idea?

Balloon Garland Pro Tips: You can use a glue gun for this idea but not glue will make the balloon pop, so consider a cold glue gun. Command hooks would also be good for hanging on the ceiling or all. Consider fishing line to also tie your balloons, cups and garland together.

December birthdays are great for your Elf on the Shelf. Use this garland as a party decoration and pair this DIY balloon garland idea with Birthday Elf on the Shelf Ideas.
