No Prop Elf Idea – Hanging Over A Curtain Rod

This is another super easy, no-prop elf idea. If your elf on the shelf is bendy you can do all kinds of stuff like this. If your elf isn’t bendy, check out my post on how to make your elf on the shelf bendy. I recommend following those steps before you get to December so that you’re ready when Elf season hits!

For this elf shenanigan, all you need to do is bend the elf’s legs backwards at the knee and then sort of hook them over the curtain rod. You can do this in any room that has curtain rods.

Consider the ages and abilities of your kids when selecting a curtain rod to hang the elf by – in the living room or dining room it will be easy to spot. In a less-traversed room it may be more challenging!
