How To Make A Christmas Elf
With a Pool Noodle

Supplies

Before getting started, here’s what ya need:

Pool noodle
Kids Shoes
Packing Tape
Scissors
Small Kids Shoes
Elf hat
Elf Shoe Covers

Step 1

Get your pool noodle and bend it in half. If you’re going to make both a shorter and a taller one, like I did, you’ll need a total of 3 pool noodles.

For the taller elf, tape together 2 pool noodles and cut off any excess to achieve the desired height. I cut about 10 or 11 inches off.

Step 2

I found these cute striped knee socks on Amazon, and they worked out perfectly.

Step 3

I recently cleaned out my kids’ closets and saved 2 pairs of shoes that no longer fit them. For reference, the shoes I used are size 6 and size 10 for toddlers.

Step 4

The elf shoe covers are an old DIY. I used to make them for my daughter when she was in daycare. She’d wear the cutest tutu elf dresses and I’d make these to cover her shoes.

Don’t worry, though, because I found some cute elf shoe covers you can purchase online!

Step 5

Add your elf hat, and you’re done! These elf hats come in a pack of 3 and are reversable, so you can choose to show either the red side or the green side.
