So my kids have "Dress like an elf" day at school. I love it so much because I think we are all into the whole "elf yourself" thing and I just love that their school still celebrates the seasons :)
Last year was our first year at this school, and my initial reaction was panic... how in the heck does one dress like an elf... with out buying an actual elf costume.... and then it hit me... elf hat, and stripey socks. Everything else in between doesn't matter :) So this is a picture of Gracie last year. I made the cute little elf hat out of felt and stuck it on a headband. But I wasn't thrilled with it (Since I made it at like 11:00 at night the day before she needed it.)
So THIS year, I decided to make more "Buddy the Elf" style hats. I think they are super cute, but probably not my best work. Still fun and festive for the season though, and realistically... how long does the elf hat really NEED to hold up. I mean if it makes it through the day at school, I'll be stoked!! :)
