Elf O'Clock Elf ideas

Elf idea: Merry Crisp-mas

The elf has hung empty crisp packets on the tree like baubles, with a 'Merry Crisp-mas' sign. It takes about 5 minutes and hardly any effort; you need biscuits, crisps or snacks, string, wool, ribbon or dental floss, paper, card and envelopes, felt tips, crayons and a marker pen.

I ate the crisps and used the bags. Zero waste. Merry Crisp-mas.
