Good Question -

They don't make bodies for themselves.

They can inhabit the bodies of others (And I am assuming Tolkien meant other Elf bodies, though this is not specified) in one of two ways, according to Tolkien:

They either try to drive out the other fëa and take over the body, or they plead for shelter from the other person and if it's granted, they overwhelm the other fëa and enslave both it and the body that houses the fëa.

I am supposing here that they would have the 'look fair, feel foul' air about them to other Elves.

Some of the Elves who refuse the call of Mandos at their body's death do remain in spirit (fëa) form.
