You Will Need:
- Your holiday elf
- Optional: mini plates and flatware if you want a tiny place setting already on the table. Skip the knife in the photo.
- Napkin ring
- Cloth napkin
- Place setting
- Small paper note or label
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Set the dining room scene
Choose a stable, easy-to-see spot in the dining room and arrange Napkin ring, Cloth napkin, and Place setting so the scene reads clearly from across the room.
Step 2: Pose the elf
Place the elf as the star of the setup, keeping the figure dry, secure, and separate from any food or fragile items.
Step 3: Add the tiny story
Finish with a short note or one extra prop that explains what the elf is doing without needing a complicated setup.

- Snap a photo in Elfie Spot Finder so you can track the spot and avoid repeating it later.
