Everyone loves a mischievous Christmas elf and now you can make your own to adorn your mantelpiece. They are stitched from a range of cotton and linen fabrics with simple appliqué in a red and cream palette. The hats can be finished in several ways and the bottoms are weighted with dry rice to help them stand.
Make an elf
Download the elf template. Use it to cut two main pieces in red fabric. Next, cut out one oval face shape in cream fabric and use an acid-free glue stick to attach it to one of the elf bodies. Leave to dry.
Cut out two elf shoes in green and attach in the same way. Stitch the face and shoe details in navy thread and iron on the reverse. Cut a piece of ribbon long enough to sit diagonally across the bottom of the hat so it slightly overlaps the face and stitch in place.
