Has he got a white top and trousers (trackie or something like that?) I'm thinking snowman. Scarf, Hat, Black buttons (with matterial) down the front and some face paint. White with black around eyes and and orange nose like a carrot. Just a thought.

I once made a wedding dress in 4 days Dawnie. You can eithr dye trousers and tops and make a wee hat, trim it all up .... and he is an ELF. Or you can make him into a whole Christmas tree from a stiffer material, which can be packed into a bag. He would have great fun helping you decorate himself! MAYBE? You know waht little bays are like. Ask him for some ideas. AND... enjoy yourself. Deanna X

Dawnie, with a snowmans face you could use a paper plate as it supposed to be round and just cut holes for eyes etc.
