Supplies Needed

Procedure

Step 1 for Christmas Elf Puppets
1

Choose then print the elf template(s) you want to create on a heavy paper-weight stock (the heavier the weight, the better) or card stock. All stock will work but a heavier weight will be sturdier.

If you chose the black & white version, color it in now. You can try to match the colors of the elves or use any colors you like! Be creative and have fun. You can also choose to have the template(s) laminated to treasure as a keepsake for generations. If you decide to do that, now is the time. Be sure to use a laminator that fully seals the paper or card stock.
