Neighborly Elves

 

Every year, 

I try to think of something non-edible for 

little neighbor Christmas gifts.

Not sure why, 

probably because if it's food, 

I eat all of the mistakes.

Well, this year, 

they are getting food!

Oreos

Red Oreos!

No baking, 

no gaining 5 pounds,

no messy pans or smoky ovens.  

 

While shopping at a boutique, 

Des and I 

found an elf Oreo treat.  

I think this is the cutest thing ever.

Yes, I wish I would have thought of it.

I had to make them.

One foot, became two, 

which became four. 

Which became 20.

I need to stop playing with them 

and give them out.

I'm becoming attached.

If you would like to make some.

You will need:

Winter Red Oreos

Ribbon

Scrapbook paper for shoe collar

Green posterboard 

Elf Shoe Template

little jingle bells

Hole punches

Double sided Scotch tape 

Clear cellophane

Skinny thread to tie on bells

These are the supplies needed, how to make a similar

shoe treat is in this Oreo Tutorial post.

 

 

I'm putting these details for me and you, 

so I won't forget and know where to find this.

Posterboard -- you can get 15 feet per posterboard.

There are about 34 Oreos in these Winter packages.

8 Oreos per foot

Cut cellophane 7"x11"

Have yoursELF a 

Merry little Christmas!
