You can view our Elf on the Shelf Master List for a full list of ideas including every idea we have ever done.

Employee of the Month Printable

Guess what!?! I made this printable MONTHS ago. I was really excited about it. So excited to bring it to you all and then… I forgot! I literally forgot to share it. I began preparing in JUNE (yes, June) to bring you guys the best Elf ideas. I had them all lined up. I have been checking off my list scheduling Elf ideas to get you all all the way until Christmas and I forgot MY FAVORITE ELF PRINTABLE!

So here it is, delayed from my own checklist, but just in time for your North Pole Visitor our Employee of the Month Printable. This printable comes with Parking sign as well has multiple name tags (for our friends that have multiple elves, I think I saw someone with 13 in our Elf Facebook Group.)

Because it’s my favorite, you found a hidden coupon code. Save 50% off with code FAVORITE. That works on the Elf Employee of the Month Parking Sign and Name Tag only. Code cannot be combined with other coupon code.

The Elf on the Shelf Tradition

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.

Have you adopted a girl Elf Baby? We created “It’s a girl” printable for your baby Elf on the Shelf ideas. New creative, funny, and original Elf on the Shelf Ideas daily.

It’s a Girl Baby Elf Printable

Elf on the Shelf Girl Baby Elf and Free Elf Printable

I said I was done having kids, but I  did it. We bought a cute Elf baby. After having five kids, and now an elf baby, this is the last baby to enter this home – there I said it! (Only kidding – wink!) More on our Girl Elf Baby adoption later.

Elf on the Shelf Ideas

We are back, so is the Elf on the Shelf! If you have been with us a long time, you know we have brought you a new Elf on the Shelf Ideas daily (in the months of November and December) for the past six years. You can view our Elf on the Shelf Master List for a full list of ideas including every idea we have ever done.

Elf on the Shelf Ideas we have included in the past that are perfect for Girl Elf Babies are our Elf on the Shelf Babysitter, Elf on the Shelf Rice Krispies Cereal (the girl baby elf can be another head) and Put your Baby Elf in the Mini Van for a Road Trip.


How to Introduce a Girl Elf Baby

In order to justify our purchase, I decided to make some Elf on the Shelf Printables for a Baby Elf. This is the second of three (currently) Elf Baby Printables. You can see our first Punny Acute Elf Baby Printable.

To introduce a Girl Baby Elf in your home, this It’s a Girl printable is a great idea. I have spoken with some elf enthusiast and they have been confused on how to keep a baby elf for many years after this. You could explain this baby elf is in training and will move on to another family as their elf next year.

Girl Elf Baby in Red Lace plus Elf on the Shelf Printable

Where to Buy a Girl Elf Baby

Our Elf Baby came with a bottle, rattle and baby doll. I have a feeling the accessories might vary a little with each purchase as this product is found in the handmade section of Amazon.

We decided to stay with the red lace because our Elf on the Shelf is red, but there are many other Girl Elf Baby options. Amazon has an entire Elf Girl Baby section in the Handmade section. Another perfect place to personalize an Elf on the Shelf Baby is on Etsy.

A few cute elf baby dolls to accompany your Elf on the Shelf include…

  • Girl Baby Elf Rapunzel
  • Entire Baby Elf Nursery
  • Pink and Green Girl Elf baby
  • Bunny Girl Elf Baby

Twin Boy Girl Elf Babies

… and because I have my own twins, I had to share these Twin Boy and Girl Elf Babies. I am in love!

Elf on the Shelf Girl Elf Baby Supplies

Not many supplies are needed for this Elf on the Shelf Idea. You already have your Elf on the Shelf, we assume. You can use a baby doll in the home or adopt your own baby elf. Details on how to print all of our Elf on the Shelf printables below!

  • The Elf on the Shelf

Have you paid close attention to the Elf on the Shelf Ideas found on Frugal Coupon Living. Hundreds of ideas and so many more to come!

How to Make Elf on the Shelf Bendable

Looking to get creative with your Elf on the Shelf ideas. Do you want your special Scout Elf boy or girl doll to bend, hang, hug, groove, jig or more.

By inserting craft wire into his limbs in this DIY (Do It Yourself) Step by Step Tutorial, you will have a bendable elf in 5 minutes flat!

I used 16 to 20 gauge for my various Elf Dolls. This 16 gauge wire one is most like the one I used in this post. This 18 gauge craft wire comes with cutters!



How to make My Elf on the Shelf Bendable

Step by Step Elf Bendable Tutorial

1.) First, the thicker the better but you want to make sure you can easily cut it and slip it through the seam of the elf.

2.) Lift up the arm pit and slide about three inches of wire into the the seam of elf’s arm pit. Adjust as needed. I folded my wire to thicken it.

3.) Trim excess wire. Repeat under the second arm pit.

4.) Most Elf on the Shelf dolls  have a seam at the knee so you will need to have a lower and upper wire (calf and quad) in each leg.

5.) Go behind the Elf’s bottom, slide in a new wire in the seem. This one will only be around an inch and a half as you are only going the length of the quad. Repeat behind the second leg.

6.) Slide a new wire into the toe seam to the knee. This is about an inch in length.

7.) Trim all excess wire.

It is really that easy to make a bendable elf!

No Sew Elf Bendable Tutorial

Bendable Elf on the Shelf Kit

I lost my first Elf on the Shelf (long story, found here in our Unboxing Elf on the Shelf). With our second Elf, I did this with a paper clip. I used our Kitchen Knife Block Scissors to cut the wire.

On Amazon, you can also get a Bendable Elf on the Shelf Kit. We have purchased this too. It was fine. It was actually very cute and creative. It comes with a needle and thread and velcro, but let’s be real. I just don’t sew. If I had any sort of sewing talent (and time) I would take 10 minutes to use this kit.

How to Hide Amazon Orders from Kids

How to hide Amazon orders from kids (and husbands!) Easy, one step, tutorial on how to keep nosey kids from discovering Christmas purchases, birthday gifts, and adult orders.

How to Hide Amazon Orders from Kids

How to Hide Amazon Orders from Kids

So it’s difficult to write this post because I realized I also have to hide my Amazon purchases from you all too! Haha. Honestly, they are not bad, I just am asking myself do I really want to show my audience all the junk I am buying!?… Well here it is, in all it’s glory!

How many years where you when you….

So this year (with my assistance) my pre-teen girls have started shopping on Amazon. They got gift cards for their birthday and when something comes to mind that they want, they slowly have been using their Amazon gift card money. I have taught them each to create wish lists of their likes, but often times things end up in the cart and I have to be careful not to buy their “toys” the half a dozen times a day I shop on Amazon myself.

Realizing they were all up in my junk on Amazon, I had to do something.  I actually though of contacting corporate. As if I had any pull to reaching the top ranking officials at Amazon… but it occurred to me. Then a friend totally saved the day!  If that fact that you can hide your orders makes you mind blown, don’t worry, I have been shopping on Amazon since 2008 and I learned this yesterday (that is ten years later!)

I was yesterdays year old!

I have five kids. Going out into the public is not an option. I tried to enter the public the other day at my child’s chorus performance and I had my two year old pegging cars at my daughter’s elementary peers. In addition to throwing the cars, he was screaming during the entire performance so that half the audience had their head turned to him, not the chorus singers. Why would a shopping trip to Target or Walmart be any better? Hence my daily visits to Amazon.

I digress.

Full disclosure before starting. I am not for hiding things from your spouse. These are for hiding gifts and presents, not for living a secret life! If that’s your goal, please move on to another resource for your Amazon orders.

How to Hide Amazon Orders from Kids*:

In order to hide Amazon Orders from kids, you first need to sign into your Amazon account  on your desktop or laptop. (I have not been able to get this to work on my phone.)

Second, on the right hand side of your Amazon bar (at the top of the screen) choose orders.

View your orders.

There are buttons beside each order. You are looking for the button that says Archive Order. Select that.

You will get a pop up message that says, “The archive limit is 100 orders.” This is true as of the time this post was written. Continue with choosing the Archive Order button in yellow.

There you have it. Your order is archived!

How to View Archived Orders:

You are limited to 100 archived orders. I definitely order more than 100 gifts. There is an option to view archived orders or to unarchive your orders. This is a little more hidden from kids, which makes it kind of nice.

It is a good idea to unarchive items that you have already gifted making room for future gifts and items you never want the kids to see.

Funny Elf on the Shelf Idea - Baby Shark

Baby Shark Costume

We personally used cake toppers to create our Baby Shark Costume. They were very inexpensive and I was able to use them later for my daughter’s birthday cake.


Baby Shark Costume for Elf on the Shelf

If balancing a shark fin cupcake topper is not on your list of things to do, we have another printable to help you perfect the cutest Baby Shark costume fin for this Elf on the Shelf Shark idea. Print out our shark fins, glue two fins back to back, then bed the red tab and use double sided tape to stick to elf’s back.

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.

DIY SnoFlock Christmas Hack – Inexpensive Tree Upgrade!

Interested in an Inexpensive Tree Upgrade? Take that artificial Christmas tree and make it look brand new with this DIY SnoFlock Christmas Hack. Snow flocking is so incredibly easy and can be done in an few simple steps!

Many of you remarked on the Christmas Hacks you adopted from this post. Two of my favorite are the pool noodle wreath and hanging Christmas wreaths on kitchen cabinents.

I have another idea for you. If you have been on the hunt for a new Christmas tree, but have a lovely working on at home, trying this DIY SnoFlock Christmas Hack! It’s an Inexpensive Tree Upgrade and will totally change the look and feel of your home.

To get started you will need to purchase a 2 lb or 5 lb page of SnoFlock. This Self-Adhesive Snow Flock Powder will decorate an Artificial Christmas Tree with a Snowy Ice Flake look.


SnoFlock Supplies

Safety first, as when working with any airborne product, I suggest using a simple face mask, protective gloves and safety goggles. SnowFlcok is all natural, but you definitely want to keep the dust exposure to a minimum.

Take your tree outdoors, and lay down a protective tarp or drop cloth to prevent unnecessary cleanup.

Three things needed for DIY Snow Flock

  • SnoFlock The Original Premium Artificial Decorative Self-Adhesive Snow Flock Powder with IceFlakes
  • Strainer with Single Fine Mesh
  • Plastic Spray Bottle (to spray water)




How to Flock a Christmas Tree

These SnoFlock directions are simple.

Step 1: For your snow flock application, you will need a few common household items: a spray bottle of water, a kitchen sifter, a simple face mask, safety googles, gloves and a protective tarp or drop cloth.

Step 2: To begin, generously spray your Christmas tree with water, this will help set SnoFlock into place.

Step 3: Fill your sifter half full with SnoFlock. With one hand, begin to shake or sift so that SnoFlock snow falls on the tree. As the snow is falling, spray water on the falling powder with your other hand. Repeat this process covering the entire Christmas tree.

Step 4: Once a light snow is achieved on your tree, begin the process of creating thicker areas by sprinkling the Ice Flakes left in your sifter onto the wet SnoFlock.

Step 5: Simply use your spray bottle with water and spray all of the SnoFlock until it is saturated, but not dripping wet.

Step 6: Allow you newly SnoFlocked creation to dry!

SnoFlock Tips!

Concerned about your talent? Buy a Christmas Tree or Wreath from The Dollar Tree and experiment there first. Then move on to your home Christmas tree.

After talking to a friend about her experience, I asked if her’s shed. She said not really. She noticed more shedding with her artificial pine needs than the SnoFlock.

After reading reviews from others, you do want to be careful with storage as the snow can fall off a little. You would store it carefully as any fake tree.

We, personally, have a snow flocked tree and have no trouble with hanging ornaments.

How Much Snow Flock Do I Buy?

SnoFlock 2 Pound Bag:  Perfect for medium sized trees and a variety of SnoFlock looks, or to adore wreaths, garlands, or other festive foliage. This bag will cover a 3 to 5 foot tree with a very heavy, blizzard look or 7-8 foot tree with a medium snow look.

SnoFlock 5 Pound Bag: A 5 lb bag can cover a standard seven-foot Christmas tree to a heavy, blizzard white appearance.

The best thing about buying from Amazon is you can always order more and it will arrive in 1 to 2 days time, especially with Amazon Prime.

SHARE WITH US!

Let us know how flocking an artificial Christmas tree or Christmas wreath works for you! We would love if you would share your final product on this Pinterest Pin or in our comment section below!

I know for me, personally, I always try something else after seeing other’s experience. I live by Amazon reviews, anyone else?

Good luck and happy flocking!
