Choose a stable, easy-to-see spot in the craft table and arrange Tape roll, Paper scraps, and Markers 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.
