Christmas

Tis’ the season to get crafty with our Christmas craft ideas. We will get you in the Christmas spirit with hundreds of activities to choose from.

Wind-Up Elf

Do you want to create your very own walking Elf, like the one displayed in our image? Below are the steps on how we created him!
  • Step 1Create a body around the Wind-Up Mechanism using red air dry clay. Leave a small gap around the wind-up handle.
  • Step 2Create a glove by rolling out two small balls of air dry clay. Press one down flat and pinch a small section of the other to create a thumb. Then gently press the two together. Repeat this step to create a second glove.
  • Step 3Attach the gloves to red air dry clay to create arms, then attach them to either side of the body. Add two yellow buttons to the front of your Elf, making sure the mechanism is facing the correct way so he doesn’t walk backwards!
  • Step 4Scrunch up a piece of scrap paper so that it is wider than the Elf's body. Then wrap air dry clay around the paper to form a head.
  • Step 5Add Elf ears to either side of the head and smooth out the surface.
  • Step 6Create hair and a hat for your Elf. You may need to use a skewer to help cut out the shape of the star.
  • Step 7Add wiggle eyes and a smile to your Elf's face.
  • Step 8Attach the head to the body using a permanent glue dot. You may also need to create a collar if there is a gap between the body and head. Your Elf is now ready to run around!
