So our ornament this week was Christine Clemmensen's Pipe Cleaner Elves! Michael loved this project. He made two elves especially for he and his brother to play with, the green ones on the tree above. I love their faces, crabby elves!
The boys wouldn't even let me photograph them properly because they wouldn't give them up long enough! I added a string to one of my ornaments and then wondered why. They are large enough that they sit on the branches of the tree quite well and would be fun just sitting on a shelf too.
Singing elves, so very Merry! So, just one more project to go on our Handmade Christmas tree. Not sure what it will be. I'm thinking we are sorely lacking animals in our "woodland" theme. Maybe some cinnamon ornament animals!
Visit my Handmade Christmas Pinterest board, where I'm selecting my projects. This board has grown longer lately, have you noticed? Such are the "evils" of Pinterest!
So, what have you been crafting lately? Link in the comments below.

You are right it is the elves faces that make them so great. They look like quite a naughty bunch!
ReplyDeleteThey have such character! I'm not surprised that your boys are having a ball with them :-) What a fun craft!
ReplyDeleteThey are adorable Becca! The facial expressions are priceless. I love how they can cling to just about anything. I wonder what the boys would say if they found the naughty elves climbing up the curtains or hanging from the chandelier in the morning?! Oh you can have so much fun with them! Thanks for posting them.
