I love this quick and easy little Christmas make. The picture above makes me think of two cheeky elves leaning against a wall getting in to mischief.
I designed this project for our monthly card class this past Saturday and the ladies all enjoyed making these cheeky little chaps (or their legs at least).
This all came about when I was shopping in my local 99p shop and came across these sherbet and jelly sticks. I knew they would work perfectly as Elf Legs. I've placed the sweeties in to the Stampin' Up! 1"x8" Cello Bags (although these ready packaged sweets don't necessarily need them). So instead of these sticks you could use multicoloured choccies or jelly sweets.
To create the shorts I cut a Top Note from Old Olive and folded in half. I used my Chalk Marker to add the stitched detail. The shoes were cut from a Real Red Top Note shape. And to finish I added Gold Foil button details to the shorts and to the boots and Gold Ribbon around the ankles.
