I was able to turn one of my boy elfs from Sears into a girl, lol. For hair, I found at the dollar store some hair elastics that have long sparkly ribbons attached to them, so I tied them around the elf's hat and then trimmed the ribbon. I added a Christmas hat overtop of the original hat, and I put a white dress overtop of the clothes with a red ribbon.
I'll see if I can post a picture tonight.
I also bought at the dollar store 3 Christmas pot holders that I am going to use as sleeping bags for the elves. I can't sew so I didn't want to attempt to make my own sleeping bags, lol.
