The pointy shoes of the elves

To hit the nail with your goblin costume you must not forget an important detail: the pointy shoes. It is an essential characteristic of this disguise and to do it is very easy.

The color of the shoes of the elves is usually red, black or green (they are almost never white) so the felt fabric that you get must be one of these colors.

Accessories for your elf costume

In order to learn how to disguise oneself in a more realistic way, it is important to take into account the accessories of the outfit. Take note of the different ideas that will give a more fun touch to your costume:

• Another characteristic element of the troll costume is the pointed ears. To get them, you only have to draw a leprechaun ear on a cardboard, cut it out and tape it to your ears; if you prefer, you can also pass them by a rope and place them as if it were a hair ribbon.
