This Elf on the Shelf Apron Pattern & Tutorial is easy to make with a felt, ribbon, and fabric glue to make the Christmas Tradition special.
The Elf on the Shelf is an awesome Christmas tradition to start with your kids. This is our first year and we love it so much!
My daughter gets so excited in the morning to see where her Elf might be and what kind of trouble she might get into.
It reminds kids to be good because the Elf on the Shelf is always watching and reporting back to Santa in the North Pole each night.
We also use the Elf to remind our daughter to brush her teeth with cute gifts from the Elf like a new tooth brush.
I have put together this super simple tutorial on how to make it look like your Elf is baking up a storm with this Apron Pattern & Tutorial.
