    Help me design an elf door

    Christmas is approaching, I do not know how it is in the US but in Denmark many children believe that an elf moves into the loft in December and if they do not behave properly the elf teases them I would like to make an elf door to put on the wall and tell the kids it's a secret entrance to the attic

    Is there someone who will help me design one? I use Vcarve pro but lack the experience to make a neat one. I think that it should be 150mm to 200mm high

    What I am trying to do is something like this.https://img0.etsystatic.com/000/0/53....159632292.jpg
    I like this one because it has raised the frame and window.

    Or this https://img1.etsystatic.com/026/0/67...80163_hshx.jpg

    Let me just emphasize that I am not out to steal anyone's design, pictures are only for illustration what I'm looking for.

    If some would want to help with this I would be very happy

    What an absolutely beautiful tradition! I'd love to see pics of how it turns out, my daughter is mad on fairies and magic and would love this idea. I may have to do this myself now.

    cheers, Ian

    Thanks for the help, I started to design an after a few days, and as I said I'm not so good at it but I felt it became very fine. Funny enough it´s very similar to the one you drew

    I have cut it out of MDF. probably not the best but it was what I just had, and the children love it.
