Step 2: Paint the Plates

Paint two paper plates with peach or tan acrylic paint to make the elf’s face. Let dry.

Glue the yellow braids and hair pieces on each side of the plate.

Step 7: Add the Ears and Fold the Hat

Attach the peach/tan ears to each side of the elf’s head.

Fold the elf hat down and glue in place.
