Notes

You can turn this craft into a Christmas tree decoration by attaching a loop of ribbon either taped to the back of your elf or by using a hole punch to make a hole in their hat where you can attach the ribbon.
If you print your template onto cardstock then you could also turn this craft into a puppet by attaching a craft stick onto the back of it.
