How to Create Easy Elf Movie Decorations

One of our favorite holiday movies is Elf. So, I love any chance to bring the magic and whimsy of that movie into our home. Be that Elf inspired Snowball Playdough or special Holiday Movie Night—By the way—GRAB my FREE FREE Holiday Movie Bucket list!!!

This year I decided to have some extra fun with our decorations and try and replicate the famous, over-the-top decorations from the movie.

It’s pretty simple when you think about it—it’s just paper snowflakes, paper chains, and some gold tinsel.

Why Buddy the Elf Holiday decorations are actually perfect

Upon first glance, Buddy the Elf’s decorations seems totally over the top, but if you look closer, they’re really very neutral and minimal in style.

They’re also great decorations for interfaith families celebrating both Christmas and Hanukkah because they’re so neutral and are similar to the Hanukkah palette (minus the blue).

So, as you can see, you can make these decorations as crazy or as simple as you like and it still conveys that simplistic whimsy.
