Toy Story Elf on the Shelf Ideas

You’ve got a friend in me!

Did you love our Toy Story Party Ideas? If you have seen and used this post, you must be a Toy Story fan, or at least have one in your home! This Toy Story Elf on the Shelf Idea was incredibly simple. We took our Buzz Lightyear toy and had him hug an Elf on the Shelf Woody. We have a woody doll in which the hat easily comes out. I worked hard to try to put the hat on Woody, but it wasn’t happening without some true craft supplies. Maybe I could have used adhesive Velcro on the hat and on the top of Elf’s head. It’s up to you if you wan to go that direction.

What is Elf on the Shelf?

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. 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.

Dump Truck Elf on the Shelf Idea

Sometimes the easiest ideas are the most loved. My boys love trucks, so imagine their delight when they saw Elf in their Cat Dump Truck. As a reminder, when you take your Elf outside of the house have clues to lead your child to find Elf. Muddy footprints might be a great way to hint construction and trucks. If you hate mud and what just isn’t an option (let’s be truthful, I won’t be doing that), I might use our orange cones to lead to Elf or leave a not that says “Help me dig the garden!” There are lots of ways to give hints!

I took a photo of my Elf and added a beautiful winterscape backdrop to create a Elf Portrait Printable for you all! Of course, this portrait must be his new school photo he wanted us to see!

Don’t forget, for six years we have brought you new elf ideas. You can view our Elf on the Shelf Master List for a full list of ideas including every idea we have ever done.

For many of these Elf on the Shelf ideas, make sure you have an elf that can bend. You can do that easily with our Bendable Elf on the Shelf tutorial. This particular idea, doesn’t need a bendable Elf, but having a kit is important for future ideas.

Elf Portrait Printable

For this Elf on the Shelf Idea, we printed off self portraits of Elf on the Shelf and plastered them all over our refrigerator. It was quite comical to look at in the kitchen all day. It was a reminder that our Elf is always watching.

Step up this Elf on the Shelf Idea by replacing family photos with Elf. This idea is perfect for a family photo gallery wall. If you have family photos, replace your photos with our Elf Portrait Printable.

I would suggest you carefully place your Elf in a watchful position. Clearly, putting Elf on the refrigerator handle (as we did for this photo) can cause some hungry tummies all day. If your placement wasn’t perfect and your Elf does happen to fall, don’t forget our Elf on the Shelf Magic Grippers (so no magic is lost) when you move Elf to his proper place for the day.

Elf on the Shelf Portrait Supplies

As always, we bring you unique ideas with very little Elf on the Shelf supplies. Use your Elf and portrait printable we will provide. If you decide to put your Elf in a Photo Gallery Wall, you will also need picture frames.

Simplistic Wire Holly Wreath Craft for Christmas

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

November 3, 2019 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Christmas, Crafts, DIY, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Social Media 2 Comments

DIY Minimal Christmas Wreath. Tutorial on how to make a simplistic wire Holly Wreath craft for Christmas. A few simple steps and supplies create a beauty farmhouse wreath.

Holly Wreath Craft

We wanted to add our own ideas to last year’s DIY Christmas Wreaths. Because we are pretty pumped about simplistic crafts, this wreath was just that – easy.

Using wire, felt, and pom-poms, create an easy and elegant Christmas Wreath for the door, to hang from Kitchen cabinets to display to adorn a Christmas vignette in your home.

Christmas Wire Wreath Supplies

Just a few simple supplies make this elegant holly wreath.

Copper craft wire – 14 or 16 gauge (we used this Copper Wire)
Craft pliers (this pack of three is highly rated)
Felt fabric (we used two sades of green)
Scissors
Craft glue or hot glue gun
Pom poms

You can actually find these red pom poms at the Dollar Store!

Christmas Holly Wreath Directions

You can use 14 gauges or 16 gauge wire to make the wreath base. Determine the size of the wreath and circle the wire 2 to 3 times creating the determined round wreath base. Coil the open ends of the wire around the base band. (Our wreath is about 8 inches across.)

Next, cut small pieces of wires from the same wire bundle. These small wire pieces will be used to create branches around the wire base.

Like the image below, take any one of the wire pieces and coil half of the wire around the base tightly. Keep the other half (more or less than half as you prefer) of the coiled wire facing outside or inside of the round wire base.

Continue to add the small wire pieces to the wire wreath base. Keep the branches relatively close (but not too close) to each other. Spread apart like branches on a bush or tree.

Personalize your wreath: You can coil and fill the whole wreath base with the small wire branches or you can fill one fourth of the base like I did.

Next, we chose two different shades of green colored felt fabrics (or you can chose one color if you want to). Trace small leaf shapes on the selected felts and cut them out nicely.

If using hot glue, prepare the hot glue gun. Take a felt leaf cutout and attach it with a small wire branch on its outer edge by gluing any one of the open ends of the leaf. Glue half of the leaf with the wire branch, keeping the other half intact.

Continue to glue felt leaves with the wire branches.

Once the open ends of the wire branches are filled take the remaining felt leaves and slightly fold the half of the leaves along the middle line. This is to give the leaves a cute 3-D look. Apply glue along the fold to secure it.

Now attach the half folded leaves between the previously glued leaves on the wire base. Try filling the wire branches.

Done attaching the leaves? Finally, select some red or white pompoms and attach them on the leaves.

Display and enjoy!

Our Pinterest community and I would love to see how this worked out for you. Share your final Wire Wreath Craft craft. Leave a comment and/or add a photo here on Pinterest!

Elf on the Shelf Letter to Older Kids

Are your older kids involved in Elf on the Shelf. As the kids got older and still wanted visits from Elf, ideas became complicated. For one, sometimes I was in bed before the kids. That meant, either Elf did not move, or he/she moved when they were at school.

This letter fully explains why Elf might move at different times of the day.

Maybe you knew it, or maybe not,
But I have been back awhile and watching you a lot.
Now that you’re older and staying up late,
Some of my trips to Santa, may have to wait.
I may travel at night, when you’re snuggled in tight.
I may travel when you’re in school, and out of my sight.
So please be patient when you’re looking for me,
Here or there we will have lots of Elf fun, you will see!

Elf on the shelf pets are selling fast. Especially the Arctic Fox. I have seen it in and out of stock, so keep checking back.

Below are Elf on the Shelf Pets and the places you can find them!

Elf on the Shelf Arctic Fox Pet

Santa’s Christmas Eve journey occurs in one night, thanks to an arctic fox that sets polar lights aglow, pausing time, and protecting his sleigh! The Elf Pets Arctic Foxes inspire kids with a message of hope.

You and your family can adopt one of Santa’s special Elf Pets Reindeer and help his sleigh take flight on Christmas Eve!

Adopt an Elf Pets Saint Bernard to keep Christmas magical at the North Pole! More Christmas Spirit is needed to save the North Pole, so Santa is sending Saint Bernard pups to kids who believe.
