Setting up the Elf on the Shelf can be a LOT of work. Let’s keep it easy by using things you already have on hand that won’t take half an hour to put together!

Elf on the Shelf Gift Bow Rock Climbing Wall
Difficulty: Intermediate
Time: 5 minutes
What you need:
- Elf on the Shelf
- Small adhesive gift bows
- Thumb tacks
- Glue dots or sticky tack
What you do:
- Choose a wall for your elf to climb. Near the gift wrap is great!
- Attach sticky dots to the hands and feet of your elf. Press them against the wall and hold firmly until he feels secure.
- Optional: Add thumbtacks through the hand or feet to make more secure.
- Add glue dots or tape to the back of the bows and add like rock climbing grabbers near the hands and feet. Cover the thumbtacks if you used them.
- Enjoy!
How do you get an Elf on the Shelf to hang on the wall?
I originally tried to stick our elf up with just glue dots and it would not hold for more than an hour. But, clear thumb tacks through the hand (ouch!) did the trick!
