1 Cut an egg tray into a square section with 9 peaks. Paint the outer peaks with red Plus Color craft paint and paint the peak in the middle with grey Plus Color craft paint. Leave to dry.
2 Cut 4-5 peaks away from the egg tray for elves' hats and paint them with red or pink Plus Color craft paint. When dry, attach a pom-pom onto the top of each elf hat with a blob of Sticky Base.
4 Make the elves' heads by pushing a wooden flower stick into a polystyrene ball. Paint polystyrene ball with craft paint and leave to dry.
5 Cut small pieces of yarn for the hair and attach these onto the polystyrene heads. Attach the elves' hats on top. Use Sticky Base as a glue, applying it with your fingers.
6 Draw facial features with Plus Color markers. Don't push too hard as this marker is a pump action paint marker. Leave to dry.
7 Cut a 7cm diameter circle from card to form a table top. Cut a small bowl and spoons from the left over egg tray.
8 Mix some rice with a blob of Sticky Base and place the 'rice pudding' in the bowl. Attach the bowl and the spoons onto the table top using Sticky Base.
