I m having so much fun creating new ideas for the Elf on the Shelf this week! And I am so excited about how my niece and nephew’s Elves will return! Of course they can’t come back empty handed, so I used my Cricut to make an adorable Elf sleigh and gift boxes!

Elf on the Shelf Ideas
Even though my own kids never had an Elf on the Shelf doll, I love coming up with fun activities for my niece and nephew’s elves.
Last year, one of my most popular posts was the DIY Bed for Dolls and Elves I made for the Elves. Although, my niece and nephew really enjoyed the Simple Elf Activity and tiny snow balls.
I shared 10 Awesome Elf on the Shelf Ideas this week too, if you are still looking for more.

Make An Elf Sized Sleigh and Gift Boxes
I love to use my Cricut to create custom Elf accessories! And this tiny sleigh is no different! And, as cute as the sleigh is on it’s own, I really thought it needed some tiny gift boxes with little candies in them for the kids.
Thankfully, I found the perfect box {and gift tags} in Cricut’s November Mystery Box from Jen Goode! This month’s Mystery Box is available today for just $29.99, but is valued at over $75! This month’s theme is gifting accessories – tags, mini boxes, bags, accents and more! Little Winter Gifts by Jen Goode is a collection of 3D packaging, gift tags and extra doodly accents to layer and decorate with. With a variety of printable background papers, which you can locate in the “pattern” choices of the print and cut settings of Cricut Design Space, you’ll be creating for DAYS!

Step 1

Open this cut file. It is already sized to fit a standard Elf.
Step 2
Send the file to cut. Use Chipboard for the sleigh, but don’t forget to use a strong grip cutting mat and masking tape to secure the Chipboard. You will need two pieces of Chipboard for each sleigh.
Step 3
Cut the small boxes and gift tag. I used two different colors of card stock to make 4 boxes. You will need to use the scoring wheel and a pen for the boxes and tags. Be sure to follow the prompts.
Step 4

Mark the Sleigh with a ruler so you can line up the seat back and bottom, and the front of the sleigh. I glued the bottom 1.5″ from the bottom of the sleigh, and the front 2″ from the front of the sleigh. Then, I glued the back at an angle, following the ling of the sleigh.
Step 5
Paint the sleigh.
Step 6
While the sleigh dries, assemble the boxes. I used a little glue to hold the tabs together, and filled each with tiny candies. Then, I hot glued the ribbon on each box.
Step 7

Once the paint dried on the sleigh, I used a paint brush to add Snow Tex to the bottom.
That’s it! Your little elves will have the coolest Elf Sleigh ride back from the North Pole!
