Whether Elves (or Men) can put parts of themselves into their sub-creations in any real sense (and not just in metaphorical sense - like, say, 'he put his heart into his work') the way the Valar/Maiar could is completely unclear. I'm not sure how this is supposed to work.

It seems like this is something that Men can't do except the ones with Elvish blood, but we have seen the Pukel men and Eol do similar.
