How to make DIY Quarantined Elf on the Shelf:

- Repeat 3 times.
Add toilet paper:
- Cut strips of toilet paper 1/2 inch wide (3 times).
- Start wrapping around the brown roll tightly until it’s all the way rolled up.
- Glue end to secure in place.
- Slide off straw and repeat 2 more times for the other rolls.
Make Lysol Bottle:
- PRINT FREE LYSOL TEMPLATE (CLICK HERE TO PRINT). Cut out to correct size (you may need to trim depending on your chapstick)
- Place glue all over the back of the lysol graphic, then wrap about the chapstick tube, pressing hard to secure.
Put it all together:
- Place Elf into jar or container, add toilet paper rolls, lysol bottle, and whatever else you want!
I added some candy and a fun gamer keychain because he needs something to do in quarantine!
Close the top and set him in a place where the kids won’t try to open it!
Print the FREE PRINTABLE NOTE, cut it out, and sign your elf’s name! Stick it near the quarantined Elf on the Shelf!
That’s it! Now you can go FOURTEEN DAYS without moving your fun little Elf!!!
