Pinecone elves: I'm thinking of putting all the loose materials to make these into the advent stocking numbered for that day, and let the kiddos wonder and anticipate what we'll be making (they're still so little that they love surprises like that).
You can easily make this from a t-shirt. The fringe is the bottom portion that has been cut in strips, (from side to side so it will stretch), and then sewn onto the top part. Fun and easy.
