Elf idea: Paper plane landing

The elf has crash-landed on a paper plane with a runway of fairy lights. It takes about 10 minutes and a little effort; you need paper, card and envelopes, battery fairy lights, battery tea lights or tinsel, felt tips, crayons and a marker pen.

How to do it

  1. Fold a big paper plane and write the elf's name on the wing.
  2. Lay fairy lights in two lines as a runway on the floor or table.
  3. Sit the elf on the plane at the end of the runway, slightly skewed.
  4. Optional: a tiny sign saying 'Arrivals'.

Photo tip

Turn the room lights off and the fairy lights on. Shoot low along the runway.

A morning line from your elf

I'd like to report a slightly wonky landing. Nobody hurt. Plane needs a wash.
