A couple of years ago we shared our newest Christmas countdown tradition, which included our silly Christmas elves made from toilet paper rolls. We love creating Christmas crafts for the kids (and adults) to make and there are so many fun Christmas toilet paper crafts to make. These well dressed toilet paper roll elves have been a HUGE hit around our house.
 
Every year I love finding our elves inside our bin of Christmas decorations – their cheery faces are a delight to uncover. We have incorporated our elves into our Christmas advent activities. Each morning our daughters run down the stairs and search around for their elf. Once they find their elf they find tucked inside a silly Christmas joke and a festive Would You Rather? question. christmas elf craft

Gather up your felt supplies and a few toilet paper rolls and make a whole team of Christmas elves for your children to play with all holiday long. Here is how we made our toilet paper jokey holiday elves.

Okay, this might not seem like the easiest thing to make. It might seem like a lot of work, but these are going to be special keepsakes. I hope to be celebrating many Christmases with these silly little guys. Now, if you aren’t into sewing outfits for your toilet paper rolls, you could always simply paint the clothing onto the elf. Either way they are pretty cute little fellas.Christmas Elf Craft - Cardboard and felt silly Christmas Elf
