Funny Christmas Elf Face Paint Design by Linnéa Önnerby Novak

This cute Elf face paint design with his very long hat is so fun to do using one stroke, and incorporates the nose as well. 

Step 1: Sketch Out Your Design

Optional: Make a sketch using a beige paint. 

Step 2: Paint the Elf's Skin

Fill in the elf's skin with beige and the hair with orange. Use a one stroke and a 1/2" brush for the sweater.

Step 3: Paint the Hat

Use the same one stroke and brush to create the hat.

Step 4: Details

Paint the neck part of the sweater in red and paint some red lines on the sweater and on the hat with a round brush. Fill in the little bell ball on the nose with gold.

Step 5: Outline the Design

Outline the design and paint the details in black and use a white paint for highlights. Add some white for snow on the bottom and use a stencil to create snowflakes. Finish it off with some glitter creme. Merry Christmas!
