I just love the movie Prep and Landing. So, I thought that a little Prep and Landing inspired Elf was in order. I had fun creating all of the accessories for this Happy Little Elf. Would you like to make your very own little Elf in training? If you haven't seen the movie yet, now's the time to grab a cup of hot cocoa, sugar cookies and watch it!
He even has a "tool" belt and the Gingerbread Man multiple usage device or something to that effect.

Zoom in closer to get details on the peppermint buttons, tool belt and M.U.D gingerbread man.
The Elf is made just like the Snowman and Gingerbread Boy. Exceptions: use flesh color felt for face, green felt for suit, red felt for accents and brown felt for hair. I gently stuffed the hat before gluing it on the Elf's head. His peppermint box is painted inside and out, mod podged, and finally glittered (see Snowman for details on paint and using glitter on box). Paperclay for buttons, M.U.D gingerbread man and for accessories on belt.
Have a very wonderful day making happy crafts!

Thank you, Susie! I hope that you find time to make them. They really go quickly. Paint your box first and while it is drying you can make the felt guys. Have fun!
