Lesley Newall used felt circles for the eyes to make her holiday helper  – to make her Christmas Elf TOTALLY baby-safe!

Joy Davies has sewn the Christmas Elves with a ‘summery look’ by using plain skin tone fabric for the arms. (I think this is what Australian elves would look like because it’s too HOT here to work in long-sleeves!!!🤣)

Looking for free printable tags?

I have a little bonus for you… it is Christmas after all!

Sometimes it can be a challenge to wrap a toy, so I’ve made some printable gift tags that you can tie on an ear or antler. In addition to the regular “Handmade with Love” tags, I added some that say “Happy Handmade Christmas.”

Just go HERE to print them out. ~>
