Elf on the Shelf DIY Messenger Bag
Easy No Sew Elf on the Shelf DIY Messenger Bag
I have come up with so many Elf on the Shelf ideas over the past couple years. My first taste of it was just a couple years ago and now I am obsessed. I enjoy it so much because I love getting creative and my daughter gets so excited when Josie comes to visit her. It’s worth every minute, even when I forget and have to get out of bed in the middle of the night. This time, I made an Elf on the Shelf DIY Messenger Bag. After all, Santa does send messages every once in a while. You only need three things to make it.

Instructions
This craft only takes a few minutes and costs pennies. I actually had an old jewelry felt bag that I had that gave me the idea. If you don’t have one, simply glue one together with red felt and a hot glue gun. I cut a little white strap and glued it to the inside of the bag.
Next, I cut a little fringe out of green felt scraps.
I glued it on top. That’s it! Super easy!
More Elf Ideas
This would be a great first day idea. Your Elf can show up with a special note from Santa. I wrote a poem and made a first day printable if you need one!

Hi Elizabeth, It’s approximately 2.5″ X 1.5″. I eye-balled it next to the doll.
