Line up a few of these posable elves on a windowsill or mantel, and you're guaranteed to spread cheer to family and guests alike.
| Prep Time: Under 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| Colored cotton socks
Dried beans or peas Jingle bells Needle and thread Buttons Small rubberband | |
| Seasons: Christmas | |
| Materials: buttons, fabric, food items | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. |  To make each elf, simply fill a colored cotton sock three
quarters of the way with peas or beans. An easy way to do this is
to cut the bottom from a paper cup. Then insert the bottomless
cup into the neck of the sock. Pour the beans through the
makeshift funnel. |
| 2. | With a needle and thread, stitch closed the top of the sock. Use a few more stitches to gather and secure the sewn end into a point that resembles the tip of a stocking hat. Then sew a medium-size jingle bell to the tip. |
| 3. | To form the elf's nose (a fun job for kids), use your fingertips to grasp a small bunch of beans about halfway down from the top of the sock. Wrap a rubber band around the base of the bunch to secure it. |
| 4. | Finally, glue or sew on two button eyes. |
