Cute Pennant Flag Ideas for Christmas Elves

In the true spirit of Christmas, we’ve put together a few fun Christmas sign sayings. These Christmas quotes are turned into Elf flag props. Take a look at these short Christmas quotes as well as ideas on how to use them and the props needed to execute your idea.

First, you need to make your printable signs. Follow these simple instructions and you will have 12 Christmas pennant flags. Download your pennant flag file, which you will print on regular paper or white cardstock. I really like this pack of letter-sized Astrobrights white card stock. Using scissors or a paper trimmer, cut out the flag shape (two triangles attached.) Use a glue stick to attach the flags to a bamboo kitchen skewer (aka mini wooden dowel) and connect the end pieces. You also can use a small piece of scotch tape. You will have twelve different signs displayed as black and white Christmas pennant flags.

Now for the magic of the season! Using your Christmas sign flags and holiday elf doll, try some of these cute Christmas Pennant Flag ideas.

I’m Watching You

Idea: Does your child have a messy room? Did they get in trouble at school? Talk back? Bring this  Prescription paired with a sign that reminds your child Elf and Santa are watching.

Materials: Prescription, pen, Elf

Team Nice

Idea: Everyone is looking to be on the nice list! Create your own naughty and nice list or print ours in the free printable library.

Materials: Naughty and nice list, pen, Elf

Elf on Duty

Idea: This arrival sign is a fun Arrival Idea for the first day. For Elf’s arrival, add this sign to remind everyone who is in charge of reporting to Santa.

Materials: Elf

Merry & Bright

Idea: There’s nothing brighter than a rainbow. Pair this sign with a cute Skittles Rainbow. Or find the brightest, loudest ugly Elf Christmas sweater for a cute idea.

Materials: Skittles, plate, water, ugly sweater, Elf

Santa Stop Here

Idea: Start a Christmas countdown of the days until Christmas and make sure your favorite little guy announces and reminds “Santa Claus to stop here.”

Materials: Construction paper, marker, Elf

Oops

Idea: Create a messy idea and deny all plausibility with this fun sign.

Materials: varies, Elf

Holly Jolly

Idea: This fun sign can be paired with any festive Christmas activity. We think it would be a great pair with Christmas cookies. Bring the ingredients let your child put together the recipe and enjoy cookies and hot cocoa. By the way, I cannot lie, Christmas calories don’t count.

Materials: Cookie ingredients, Elf

Better Not Pout

Idea: Are you trying to correct any behavior? If your child has seen some occasions that might be placed one the naughty list, use Elf to offer some encouragement with a “better not pout” sign. Deliver with a behavior note notice.

Materials: Behavior note, Elf

It Wasn’t Me

Idea: Need a little mischief or mess? For another fun idea, find a good messy idea and have elf deny any part of the mess.

Materials: varies, Elf

Deck the Halls

Idea: Sometimes these sayings just make no sense. Take some of these funny Christmas sayings and make them incredibly literal. Hang a deck of playing cards down the hall. Attach these cards to green and red ribbons and hang them like Christmas banners. Have Elf holding the deck the halls decorative flag.

Materials: Deck of cards, yarn or string, tape, Elf

Peace on Earth

Idea: The true spirit of Christmas lies in peace… or peas. Let me explain. What if you play with this phrase? Pose the Elf on top of a globe (You can print a world from Google if you wish.)  You could even add a bag of peas, for peas on earth. Have Elf holding the sign.

Materials: Globe or printed world, peas, Elf

No Peaking

Idea: Put some newly wrapped Christmas presents under the tree. The kids will love the anticipation of what might be inside. Place Elf holding a “no peaking” sign.

Materials: Presents, Elf

These are only ideas.

These fun pennants can also be used as gift tags and holiday decorations. You can pair these cute Christmas flags with whichever elf idea you desire or use them around the house as cute Christmas decorations and photo props.  Imagine all the members of your family holiday a Christmas pennant in the framed family photos during December.

Of course, it’s nice to have a list of ideas, but before you begin, you need an Elf that can move into many of these creative ideas.

How do I prop my Elf ?

For many elf prop ideas, you want an elf that can prop up or bend. Follow this DIY Bendable Elf tutorial.  In under 10 minutes, you can have a bendable, moveable Christmas Elf that can take all sorts of positions. The thicker you wire your elf, the more likely you can get your Elf to stand or bend.

Elf Stand

Can Elf stand? Of course. Other ways to prop your Elf are with string, tape, and leaning against a solid object. Having a clear 12 inch doll stand (typically for a Barbie) is a very helpful Elf prop.

Another way to get the holiday Elf to stand is using the standing prop. Having an Elf standing up can change all of your ideas. A new Elf prop this year is the Stand prop. This standing gear includes fun shoes and plastic pants so that the little guy can stand up.

Best Props for Christmas Elves

When you have an Elf that can move, you want to create scenes with the best props. Elf accessories are the perfect way to tell what is happening in a scene. They are the sprinkles and cherry on top of the ice cream.

We’ve talked about 12 items every mom needs including marshmallows, cotton balls, a dry erase marker, and more. Let’s take that list a step further with the best Elf props.

In this cheeky and clever Christmas Elf idea, Elf is using a S-ELF tanning kit to sun. This funny printable for elves uses orange foods – cheese balls & easy cheese. New creative, funny, and original Christimas Elf Ideas daily.

Did you know the North Pole is rather cold? I know, I know. Obvious question. However, while many understand the North Pole is rather cold, they don’t always recognize that elves love the sun. Visiting their host family during the holiday season is a great time to de-thaw, take an elf beach vacation, or pull out the fake and bake.

If you are looking to give your Elf beach props, consider this funny s-ELF tanning kit. Add a desk lamp and some sun shades (Barbie sunglasses are great for this) and you are all set to complete this quick and easy idea for Elf.

Punny Elf Self Tanning Kit

No, we didn’t misspell funny. This cheeky elf idea is rather punny and plays on the phrase self-tanning kit. Instead of tanning spray, we use Cheese Whiz and cheese balls for the best orange tan ever!

Pun: a joke exploiting the different possible meanings of a word or the fact that there are words which sound alike but have different meanings.

Supplies

Who doesn’t love a few holiday elf props you can eat later? If you’re a faux cheese eater (wink – wink), this adorable idea is for you. Gather the following supplies for your witty visitor.

• An Elf
• Towel
• Beach Props
• Cheese Balls (we use Utz Cheese Balls)
• Canned Cheese Spray  (we used Kraft Easy Cheese)
• Self-Tanning Kit Printable Set (see below)
• Printer paper
• Printer
• Scissors
• Tape or Glue

Directions

It’s time to pull this Hilarious Idea into motion. First, you will need to download your funny Self Tanning Kit printable.

Once you complete your purchase and download your PDF file, print it from your home computer or (print at Staples.) For reference, I printed mine from my home computer and they still gave me though bright, eye-catching pops of color.

Next, cut out your labels. Use a glue stick or double-sided tape to attach the labels to your canned cheese spray and container of cheese balls. I actually wrapped the labels around both cheese products and tabled them on the back side of the item.

Stage your Elf in a fun relaxing position on a beach towel.

Extend this Funny Elf Idea

You can always go a step further than we did with this fun idea. Using the tanning kit, incorporate some of these other easy and fun holiday elf ideas.

• Are you going on vacation? Elf can travel with you. Maybe he can bring a fun beach basket filled with things for the trip.
• Use this idea with our fun beach backdrop for Elf. You can add sandbox sand and some shells for a fun scene.
• Put Elf under a heat lamp, like a tanning bed. This can be done with a desk lamp.
• Add some Barbie and Ken Beach Clothes for Elf props. I used a surf vest from my 1980s Barbie accessories.

What are some other orange foods I can use?

Of course, if cheese in a can or small snowballs of cheese are not your thing, try some of these other orange foods to pull off your funny Elf idea. You will need to get clever for how you use the s-ELF tanning kit labels on these items, but it’s still doable.

Orange foods include…

• Pumpkin
• Oranges
• Sweet Potatoes
• Carrots
• Cantaloupes
• Mangos
• Peaches
• Cheese Chips
