Little Elf on the Shelf Costume

For my son's first Halloween, I made him the Elf on the Shelf. The costume was so easy because the only thing he wore was a red shirt that I sewed the white collar on to, and a pair of white socks on his hands. I carried him in the Baby Bjorn and sewed a piece of red felt onto the carrier to look like his shirt. I then made a fireplace and mantle out of cardboard, used scrapbook paper to decorate the fireplace, hot-glued a couple mini stockings and voila! The legs were pieces of fabric I sewed together and stuffed with filling, to look like legs. All I had to do was carry the fireplace in the correct spot and he looked like he was sitting on it. The nice part for a baby was that he didn't have to wear anything crazy and he wore sweats under everything, so he was nice and warm. We got soooooo many compliments! I always try to create original costumes so this just worked.
