Choose a stable, easy-to-see spot in the craft table and arrange Paintbrushes, Paint cups, and Paper banner so the scene reads clearly from across the room.

Place the elf as the star of the setup, keeping the figure dry, secure, and separate from any food or fragile items.

Finish with a short note or one extra prop that explains what the elf is doing without needing a complicated setup.
