Lampshade Lookout
Lampshades, it turns out, make an excellent elf perch, and yours spent the night on one, arms draped over the rim.
A 2-minute idea for The Elf on the Shelf® or any elf doll.
What you need
- a lamp with an LED bulb
How to set it up
- Tuck your elf's legs inside the top of a lampshade and drape both arms over the rim, so they peek over the edge.
- Leave the lamp switched off.
Safety check
Use a steady table lamp with a cool LED bulb, and leave it off. Tuck the cord away so nobody pulls the lamp over. How we check
Note from your elf: Lamp off, elf on top. Coziest seat in the house!
