ELF Flex Elf Upgrade Kit: Make Your Elf Amazing! This Kit Will Make Your Elf Flexible and Bendable! You Will Be Able to Bend Em Grip Em Stick Em Hang Em

This kit is amazing. So easy to use. Quick 10 min job and your elf comes to life.Could purchase items separately for cheaper but still great value

The packaging and presentation is great. Everything you need in here to make your elf a little bit more user friendly. I had seen 2 of the 4 magnets in when one broke in half! At this point I was too far in to unpick my stitching, extract the wires and magnets and put it all back together to return but I’m super annoyed. It’s in a hand as well :( Contrary to other reviews the magnets are strong though. Would I buy again if I knew then what I know now? Probably not

Very useful but recommend to use it with the elf that doesn’t have the knees or elbows marking sew on. I broke mine using these on it :(

Honestly, the elves should come pose-able but since they don’t, this kit is perfect.There’s a little trial and error that comes with getting the wires in, and while the Velcro has a strong adhesive, you’re better off sewing it down somehow as it will come off otherwise. My only issue is that the magnets could be stronger as they’re trying to go through two layers of fabric so they don’t hold as well as I’d like.All in all, definitely recommend this if you’re looking to have fun with your elf!

Es muy caro para lo que es pero la verdad si no te quieres andar preocupando en conseguir todo pues está súper bien, mejora mucho al elfo y ayuda a que sea más facil colocarlo.Lo único que no me gustó es que cuando entras a los videos tutoriales ninguno es de ellos, son videos caseros de otras personas que ni siquiera usan este kit sino que usan alambres, que ellos compraron aparte.

So, this little kit actually makes our little’s elf much more fun for her and definitely expands the possibilities for Ellie Elf’s daily activities. I am admittedly terrible at reading/watching/paying attention to instructions/directions, but there is a website you go to for a pdf of this product’s “how-to”, though it’s pretty self explanatory.Magnets:When you slide the tin open, the magnets tend to jump from the foam insert into the face of the tin lid, so if you aren’t looking down when you slide it open, it will be easy to not notice it happen; if your magnets are missing from your kit, check the lid right away, as they may be attached to it.The magnets aren’t great. They didn’t hold the minimal weight of Ellie, even on the refrigerator. I substituted the kit magnets with Neodymium Magnets (see photo) that I had in our craft supplies, which work amazingly. [ ⚠️ Neodymium Magnets are INCREDIBLY STRONG and can be very dangerous if inhaled, ingested,, or introduced to specific medical devices. Use of these magnets are only suggested if your elf is the absolute No Touch kind of elf and if no medical device contraindication exist.]Velcro:The adhesive on the back of the Velcro doesn’t seem conducive to strong adhesion to the elf’s hands, but I have not yet attached them to our little’s elf (Ellie is sprinkled with glitter, so the Velcro would be wasted and not stick bc of the glitter coating), so I can not say for certain.Needle, thread and seam-ripper:Perfect and convenient. The needles are pre-threaded, which is a nice time saver. If your elf isn’t red, you’ll need different thread to re-sew your elf’s feet. Even if you have never hand sewn anything before, it won’t matter; it’s super simple to close the seams back up. (Note: you only have to rip ~3 seams max. to insert the rod and the smaller magnets.)Bendy Rods:The main purpose of this kit for me were these bendy rods. Once I opened the package, I found that I could’ve used a wire cutter and a metal hanger to cut these bendy rods myself, and with probably more stability than these rods provide (though probably not nearly as smooth at the ends without filing/sanding of some sort.) the arm rods were a little too short for our little’s elf and the leg rods were a little too long, but Ellie is a pink elf, as is a requirement in our home, so for the actual elf on the shelf red elf, this may not be the case at all. I found it helpful to create loops at the ends of the leg rods (see photo) and wish I had thought of it for the arm rods, too, though it would have made the already too-short-rods even shorter, so it likely would not have worked in the arms the way it didnin the legs.Conclusion:Though I very easily could have made the same adjustments and additions to our elf from things we already had around the house, for a busy person, having the rods precut, the needles pre-threaded and the majority of the supplies in one prepared tin is convenient and worth the purchase price. 👍🏼

I thought about buying the wire, thread, etc. to do this on my own. This kit is cost effective, time effective, and works out great. I suggest only ripping the seams you need to squeeze the wire and magnets in - less sewing after. Also, use a light to see the seams so you don't rip some felt by mistake. Again, easy and project done in time for Elf Scout arrival day!

I cannot sew but this kit made it easy for me to add wire to the arms and legs and magnets to the hands and feet of our EOTS! There were multiple pre-threaded needles for both white and red string and a stitch remover so at least those are things I can use beyond the elf doctoring. I didn’t give it full stars though because the website didn’t actually have full instructions so I had to find some videos on my own for what to do. Also the magnets are only ok once in place. And the wire is just enough but there’s not a lot of room for error if you loop the ends. Overall though this year’s Elf poses were easier than last year’s loosey-goosey limbs!
