Instructions
  1. Our Elfin Family - Step 1 Fold an 8 1/2- by 11-inch sheet of green card stock in half widthwise (1 sheet makes 2 elves). Draw an elf shape on one side, as shown below (or download our template).

  2. Cut out both layers without snipping the fold so you'll have 2 elves holding hands.

  3. When you have all the pairs you need, use a glue stick to add the photo faces.

  4. Cut out paper pieces for clothes (we used hole punch circles for buttons and pom-poms, and strips cut with decorative-edge scissors for trim) and glue them in place.

  5. Finally, attach the pairs by linking the elves' hands with clear tape.
