Approximate Time:
Supplies
- Magnet strips
- Sheet of Pink Foam
- Black Sharpie
- 1/4 inch ribbon
- Tacky White Glue
- Wiggly eye 12mm
- Spoke Sequin
- Alphabet Macaroni
Instructions
Print out the templates on page 2 and cut out. Lay on foam with wrong side up and draw around the pieces with the sharpie. Cut out the pieces and turn the pieces right side up. Glue the tail piece over the head piece. Draw in the details on the ear, the trunk and the toes. Tie the ribbon into two little bows and glue one to the ear and one to the base of the tail.
Glue a couple magnet strips (about an inch long) to the back of the elephant. I placed mine one behind the ear and one about where the tail is.
Other Options
You can cut a small piece for the tail as the photo shows, or you can draw it on as the template shows. You can draw the eye on or you can use the wiggly eye and half a sequin. Also, if you can find alphabet macaroni, you can glue it on in place of the sign, spelling out "I'LL START MY DIET TOMORROW."
The instructions are also in a PDF file for which you may need Acrobat Reader to view. Download Acrobat Reader
