Elf O'Clock Elf ideas

Elf idea: Asleep in a stocking

The elf has arrived and gone straight to sleep inside a Christmas stocking. It takes about 3 minutes and hardly any effort; you need nothing special.

How to do it

  1. Pop the elf into a stocking with just the head showing.
  2. Hang it where the kids will walk past first thing.
  3. Tilt the head so it looks asleep.

Photo tip

Shoot from the side so the stocking shape and the sleepy face both read.

The trip took ages and I slept in the nearest sock. Wake me gently. Or with biscuits.
