Elf O'Clock Elf ideas

Elf idea: Caught with the sweets

The elf is surrounded by empty sweet wrappers and chocolatey smears. It takes about 3 minutes and hardly any effort; you need small sweets or jelly sweets, ketchup, chocolate spread, peanut butter, syrup or hot chocolate powder.

Shoot close so the chocolate smudge is visible.

A morning line from your elf

I didn't eat the sweets. The wrappers were already empty. The chocolate smears are paint.
