Halloween Costumes For Your Elf On a Shelf

September 7, 2017 by Shellie Wilson

Elf on the shelf is popular at Christmas time, but how would you feel being packed away for 11 months of the year? Well it’s time to party like it’s HALLOWEEN. Here is a roundup of Elf on the Shelf costumes you can make for your ELF on the Shelf as he crashes your Halloween party this year.

 

Where did the Elf on a shelf start? The Elf on the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition is a 2005 children’s picture book, written by Carol Aebersold and her daughter Chanda Bell, and illustrated by Coë Steinwart that took over the world and created new traditions worldwide. People are obsessed with the Elf on shelf tradition that requires you to move the elf every day of December.

Etsy Spotlight: Goose Baby Lovey PDF Pattern

Okay, full confession—we don’t have any babies in our life right now, but that doesn’t stop me from swooning over sweet little sewing patterns like this adorable goose baby lovey! I mean, how could you resist that soft, cuddly face and those tiny wings? It’s giving timeless nursery charm with a modern handmade twist.

This pattern comes as a PDF with a helpful English video tutorial, so it’s perfect for confident beginners or anyone wanting to try their hand at sewing softies. It’s designed to be both a comfort toy and a keepsake—just the kind of thing little hands love to hold, and mamas love to treasure.

Maybe it’s time I start putting a few baby patterns away for the (not-too-distant?) future—grandchildren stash, anyone? Even if you’re not sewing for a little one right now, this pattern is a total heart-stealer and would make the most beautiful handmade baby shower gift.
