#ElfYourself DIY Costume & Competition

Although we can't physically put on our popular Elf Yourself Workshop this year we didn't want you to miss out on the fun so have decided to create a do-it-yourself, at home Elf Workshop!

We have created a template, along with instructions of how to make your very own elf hat (with ears) that you can colour in or decorate however you like to make it your own as you would have done at one of our workshops.

Also, we would love to see your finished hats and costumes and as a thank you for sharing your christmas creativity with us, each hat or costume that is uploaded to socia media using the hashtag #ElfYourself you will be enterented into the #ElfYourself Competition and in with a chance to win a prize!

We are giving away £30 Harlow Playhouse gift vouchers to the best #ElfYourself hat or costume, but will also be giving two runners-up £15 Harlow Playhouse gift vouchers as well.


How to make your own #ElfYourself Hat

We have created a printable template (A4) to help you make your own elf hat, however if you do not have access to a printer you can use the template as a guide to make your own template, the different pieces are easy to draw! The hat works best when made out of card, however you can make it out of paper, it just might not be as robust.

If you do not have all the materials already at home, there are a range of shops in Harlow Town Centre where you can buy them, including Phoenix Resource Centre, Poundland, Poundstretcher, Wilkinsons, Asda, Tesco and WHSmith.
