Easy to make Photo Holder - Elephant

This was a fun one to make, and it looks great on the wall when you are finished. I am going to try it in different animal shapes and put them on the wall in the Little Miss’ Bedroom, and clip some great pictures to them.

It would make a wall lots of fun. It works really well with the elephant though, as the peg becomes the trunk.

What you will need:

- Paper Coloured
- Cardboard - I just used the back of the cereal packet
- Small piece of white paper
- Glue
- Scissors
- Pen
- Pencil
- Peg - plastic or wooden

Here is what you will need to put it all together:

- Draw an elephant shape on to the cardboard, make sure you also draw a rectangle the size of the peg for its trunk.  Then cut the shapes out.

- Trace around the shape on the coloured paper, not forgetting the trunk again. Cut the shape out and glue to the cardboard. The cardboard just makes it a bit stronger, it would be a bit floppy if you just used the paper.

- Next you need to stick the peg on, if you are using a wooden peg you may be ok to use the glue stick , but if you are using a plastic peg you will need to use a PVA or craft glue for it to stick. Stick the cardboard on top of the peg to make the trunk.

- Trace around the shape with your marker, to make it stand out a bit more.

- Draw some toes and a few creases on it’s trunk.

- Next are his eyes, You can use white sticky dots for eyes, but if you don’t have sticky dots like I didn’t, then you can just use white paper and draw some circles and cut them out. Glue them in place and add the black dot in the middle.

- Hey presto you now have a fantastic photo holder that you can put on the wall.

If you have any questions or problems let me know.
