Paper Plate Elephant Craft
Servings: 1 elephant craft
Cost: $5
Equipment
- 1 pair of scissors
- 1 paintbrush
Ingredients
- 1 piece cardstock paper pink
- 2 Tbsp paint grey or in desired color
- 2 pieces googley eyes
- 1 bottle glue or gluesticks
Instructions
- Begin by painting or coloring your plate grey. If you're wanting this to be a faster craft you can use markers, crayons or colored pencils. You could also pre-paint plates too.
- Allow paint to dry.
- You may want to have our heart template handy! I used it for the snout of the elephant. It's very similar to how I used the heart template to make a cardstock elephant for Valentines's Day.
- Take your painted grey paper plate and cut out the center. I cut through the edging and trimmed around it. It doesn't have to be perfect!
- Cut the remaining piece in half, then cut one of the halves in half again. This will give you three pieces that will turn into the trunk and the ears.
- Glue on the ears and trunk, then add a cut out cardstock heart onto the trunk.
- The last thing you'll do is add googley eyes. You could also draw on eyes, or cut out small hearts to be eyes too!
- Allow glue time to dry.
