Setting Up Merry Elf Haus

Watch the video and read the steps below to get your Merry Elf Haus up and running.

Step 1 - Identify your location!

Merry Elf Haus works best affixed to drywall or tile, resting on a table or countertop. My favorite location is our kitchen’s backsplash. It’s at a height that the kids can enjoy it, but out of the way of curious pets, toddlers and the vacuum. The included Elf Glue is safe for most surfaces.

Step 2 - Hang the wreath on the door

Each Merry Elf Haus comes with a wreath with its red ribbon already attached. Open the elf door, slide the ribbon between the top of the door and its frame and close the door. The ribbon’s knot keeps the wreath in place. You’ll see I’ve added a little piece of tape—this is to keep the tail of the ribbon out of view, but that part is up to you!

Step 3 - Attach door with wreath to the surface of your choice

Take the Elf Glue out of its package and pull off four, pencil-diameter size pieces of Elf Glue and attach to each corner of the door. Place the door on the desired surface and hold in place for 30 seconds.

Step 4 - Attach the mail box

Repeat Step 3 to attach the mail box. You can place it wherever you’d like! In these videos, you’ll see I’ve placed it on the right side, at 4/5 the height of the elf door.
