An Elf's Door from Ice Lolly Sticks with a Rope Ladder and a Christmas Stocking Letterbox

1 You will need a total of 10 ice lolly sticks. Place seven ice lolly sticks in a row and cut off the round ends. Place three ice lolly sticks on top as shown in the picture. Use a pencil to mark where to cut the remaining three ice lolly sticks. Cut off the ends.

2 Glue the ice lolly sticks together by gluing the three ice lolly sticks onto the door. They now keep the seven other ice lolly sticks in place. Cut a small piece of round wooden stick for the door knob.

3 Make a rope ladder from approx. 5 cm pieces of round wooden stick.

4 Arrange the pieces of round wooden stick in a row and tie the pieces together to make a rope ladder as shown in the picture.

5 Cut out two Christmas stockings from felt using the template available as a PDF file on this page.

6 Attach double-sided adhesive tape around the edge on one of the Christmas stockings and remove the protective paper. Place the other Christmas stocking on top and press firmly together.

7 Write a small letter from the Elf on a piece of paper and cut it to your chosen size. Roll up the letter and tie a bow around it. Place the letter inside the Christmas stocking, using it as a letterbox.
