Will Farrell’s energy and comedic skills are absolutely superb as Buddy, the elf. A full grown man raised by elves at the North Pole, who goes in search of his biological father in the Big Apple. Buddy’s journey is filled with so much joy and mayhem and lots and lots of sugar!
We elves try to stick to the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corns and syrup.
Buddy’s incredible love of sugar motivated me to grab some candy, smash it to bits, and create a few stunning Elf inspired Christmas ornaments!
Step 1: Gather your supplies
A variety of hard candies – these would work well
Candy Canes
Mod Podge & brush
Pinecones
Step 2: Unwrap the candies
Because I wanted to try to make both single colored ornaments AND multi-colored ones, I unwrapped and sorted the candies by color family.
Step 3: Crush the candy
For this step, I used ziplock freezer bags and a meat tenderizer. Place the candies and the bag and fire away!
You will want a variety of sizes of candy pieces for best results.
Step 4: Glue
With a small brush, brush the Mod Podge onto the tips of the pinecones wherever you would like the candy to coat.
Step 5: Sprinkle candy
Using a spoon, sprinkle the candy over the Modge Podge covering it completely. Shake off excess. Set to dry.
Step 6: Add ribbon.
Tie a ribbon, twine, or string to either the top or the bottom of the pinecone for hanging.
Elf inspired Christmas Ornaments!
That’s it! Time to hang the Elf inspired Christmas ornament right on the tree!

What a cute elf-inspired ornament! My grandkids would loves this!
What a fun idea! Love it!
This is such a cute idea! I agree with others. I wonder if my son would sneak the candy before it ever made it onto the ornament. 😉 But it would be so fun!

Hi Paula! I love what a kid-friendly craft this is. I want to try this with my own kids…though with my boys, I wonder if some of the candy would go missing before it makes it to the pine cone. Ha! Isn’t Elf such a great Christmas movie?! I’m happy to be on this blog hop with you.
